Note Leopard 10.5 ALC889a / Audio

ALC890 Sound working .. possibly others too.

So, after reading and reading and searching for a simple solution to the ALC890 sound problem I have it fixed and working. The trick is very simple. The new voodooHDA.kext I suspect this will also work with 888, 889a, etc… The link is here…

NEW VoodooHDA Intel High Definition Audio Driver →

This driver has solved all problems for my ALC890 sound driver.
Simply used osx86 Tools on an iPC 10.5.6 ppf5 final installation to install the kext and reboot. Badda-bing ! Soundsville.

If someone with 888 or 889a drivers can try this as well and see if it works that would be good.

My system is an ASRock p45ts-r board for anyone else running it or something similar, Give it a go, it might work for you too.

Cheers,
