Best kext for Indtel High Def. Audio?
I have used VoodooHDA.kext for some time, I have upgraded my machine to snow leopard 10.6.2 with a fresh install of SnowOSX Universal 3.6, Is there anything better than this kext?

Well you can have better sound using AppleHDA.kext because it can do some cool stuff like noise disortion. Also it is more stable - I expired VoodooHDA to crash the System Profiler and to no longer work after wake-up from hibernate.
One problem with using AppleHDA is that you are limited to max. 4 out- and 3 inputs, this of course sucks when you want to use front panel and / or all sound card ports and SPDIF at the same time. With VoodooHDA you can get more ports working. Using Line-In and MIc using VoodooHDA needs some skills - but using an AppleHDA solution even more, if you don't find some nice guy who made one specific for your equipment. As I just need stereo output, line-in & mic I am currently very happing using AppleHDA (DSDT Inject + an adapted Legacy kext that has the correct values to make AppleHDA work) - more happy than with using VoodooHDA.
