Well I have a A8N-SLI Premium motherboard and I have successfully installed the Zephyroth 10.5.2 Rev.2 months now and it's perfectly working with all the drivers from the install. No need to touch anything.
I have it updated to 10.5.5 with Zephyroth's Software update.

Field Note #1 @Voyn1x 2008-10-09

I have an ALC850 and optical SPDIF shows up but i haven't tested it. I'm using the standard ALC850 drivers from Leo4Allv4 which i've attached below

If there are any ideas...
