I have the EX58-UD5 ... pretty much the same board except for audio.

I posted an install guide a few days ago.

Gigabyte EX58-UD5 - i7 920 @ 3.2 GHx - eVGA 8800GT
Asus P5Q Deluxe - E8400 @ 3.6 GHz - Asus 7900GT
iMac 2.2 GHz - 4 MB

i got EVGA x58 working x32 and x64.Since its x58 platform the installs might be similar. Vanilla install. DocShadows tutorial helped me a bit with his boot.plist. i just used the latest Chameleon and also the snow leopard chameleon support. then put the kext from this file http://cid-8b65993ef55cf014.skydrive...6?view=details . after that i just repaired my kext with "Kext Utility" to stop the KP's. i have some problems though, when i try to repair permissions through diskutility, it says it has no installer package. I havnt been able to get sound working too. I have tried VoodoHDA, but no luck, hoping for a fix for audio soon.

You can fix the repair permissions problem by reinstalling BSD.pkg from within SL. If your DSDT file is right, you can get audio on the EX58-UD3R by placing the attached kext in your E/E folder. Just make sure to get rid of other HD kexts (like Voodoo) and run kextutility before rebooting.

Here's what the HDEF section of your DSDT.aml file should look like:

Code:
Device (HDEF)
            {
                Name (_ADR, 0x001B0000)
                Method (_PRW, 0, NotSerialized)
                {
                    Return (Package (0x02)
                    {
                        0x0D, 
                        0x05
                    })
                }

                Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized)
                {
                    Store (Package (0x0C)
                        {
                            "codec-id", 
                            Buffer (0x04)
                            {
                                0x88, 0x08, 0xEC, 0x10
                            }, 

                            "layout-id", 
                            Buffer (0x04)
                            {
                                0x78, 0x03, 0x00, 0x00
                            },

                            }, 

                            "PinConfigurations", 
                            Buffer (0x28)

There is no HDEF ... you replace the AZAL occurrences with HDEF and add the extra code.

There are detailed instructions in one of the threads.

You could be right, but DocShadow is, too. It sounds like you haven't done the necessary changes in your dsdt.aml file?? Some people have modified their APPLHDA.kext to get it to work with ALC888 but, IMO, having your dsdt right is the way to go in the long run.
