I've just installed the Snow Leopard 10.6 (10a432). Almost everything is working (apart WiFi - Intel 5100). However, I can't make the sound work. I've installed VooDooHDA.kext. It made the sound work. A kind of. There was just an indicator on a FInder menu that the sound is but I couldn't hear anything through the speakers. After Google'ing I discovered a Taruga's patch. However, it has caused a Kernel panic

Any suggestions?

Thnak you!

Author Update #1 @Thomasasz 2009-10-31

There were 2 different outputs Digital and sth like SPTH I don't remember. However, neither of them worked properly - I didn't hear anything from the speakers but also both of them were playing sound (I found out this in iTunes when I started music playing) 2x faster! Even on YouTube!

Author Update #2 @Thomasasz 2009-11-01

Ok, thnx, I'll have this in mind. However, I've tried Taruga patch and it did nothing also

Author Update #3 @Thomasasz 2009-11-01 ↳ Re: @Imkantus
@ImkantusOn Snow Leopard? Cause it doesn't work for Snow Leopard AppleHDA.kext.

Field Note #2 @Imkantus 2009-10-31

Are you sure that you had the correct Output device selected in the System Configuration / Audio / Output, when using VoodooHDA?

Field Note #3 @Imkantus 2009-11-01

You can use patched AppleHDA.kext for Leopard, but with 32-Bit Kernel only.
You can either get a patched one here (naw com.com/osx86/files/Audio/Realtek/ALC268/) or better patch it yourself using Tarugas Patcher & a codec dump file.

If you want to run 64-Bit Kernel & Extensions, you can try to port it using this Guide:
