@LawlessPPC5.1 does work on this cnat remember the kext i used when i had that chipset. But dont expect surround stereo from i tunes unless you install soundflower and make an agreggate device

I've tried many kext's and linux dumps plus taruga's patcher I get two channels plus mic and line in every time but can't get 6 output channels, if you could remember what kext you used or at least tell me on what mobo you had success, thanks Ian

The attached kexts are ones used on gigabyte intel boards, worth a try?
