It's possible to use HDAEnabler.kext to do this too, but i find this solution working better, because you can modify it to your own likings.

First off, you'll need to go here
/System/Library/SystemProfiler/SPAudioReporter.spreporter/Contents/Resources/[YourLanguage].lproj/Localizable.strings

Scroll down, and find no_info_found. That is the part you'll want to modify. I changed mine to this

no_info_found = "Realtek ALC888 High Definition Audio:

Avaliable Devices:
Line Out:
Connection: 1/8 Jack
Headphones:
Connection: 1/8 Jack
Mic in:
Connection: 1/8 Jack
Line in:
Connection: 1/8 Jack";

After you saved it, go check your System Profiler, Audio (built-in) tab. It should now show you're audio device

Iīve changed the string for my Alc889a in system profiler, download this (http://www.mediafire.com/?0ndmmdlea9e) and copy into System/Library/SystemProfiler/SPAudioReporter.spreporter/Contents/Resources/"your lenguage"/Localizable.strings

You can edit the string with textedit.
