Newer, Better ALC889A

It's the weirdest thing in skype...
I'm running a 'gigabyte ga-ep45-ud3p' on snow leopard, installed from a retail dvd, using these sound drivers.
I can hear someone, and they can hear me, if they call me.
But if I call them, I can't hear them, but they can hear me.
Also, if I type in the chat area with anyone during a call, whether they've called me, or i called them, I can't hear them, but they can hear me. My sound gets muted if any sound comes from skype other than the voice conversation.

i have to disable all skype sounds for a call's audio not to be interupted.

i downloaded the zip below where it says
'Fixing for 10.6.2 by removing BuiltInHDA and including HDAEnabler.kext' in this thread
and installed the LegacyHDA and HDAEnabler kexts, and that's it. no dsdtl (or whatever you call them) files or anything.
then i used aggregate device to create 5.1.
the sound is a bit buggy.

is there a newer, better way to get 5.1 on my ga-ep45-ud3p?

i'm a noob. i have been on os x for maybe 4 days, for about 30 minutes a day

[edit] a kind member in the #snowleopard irc channel was nice enough to create most of the files in this 'Extra' zip file for me, but after i applied them all, and ran pfix and repaired disk permissions, i ended up having a blank blue screen, and wasn't able to boot without -x
