Can I get Audio drivers to work in Safe-mode

Or no because Safe mode isn't meant to be used that way?

@lanceomniGodofwar, No, Safe Mode only loads the necessities to load the GUI and resolve critical issues. If I may ask, why are you booting in safe mode? It would appear the you want audio because you want to work in safe mode.

No its fine, it just my hackintosh acts weird and stuff like my audio drivers choose to boot up whenever even tho I have it set up to boot when Hackintoh Lion boots. I still not have gotten Hackintosh Lion 10.7.3 to self boot with my And Phenom. Sometimes it takes me shutting my pc off incorrectly 1 or 2 times for Hackintosh Lion to boot... I have no idea why, I always end up getting stuck at the apple loading screen.

Godofwar,
