EP45-DQ6 and ALC889A

I hope its okay to post link to Insanelymac here. This is the guide I followed:

http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=18… ↗

I had to make my own DSDT file though. If you look on Insanelymac, there is a guide that shows you how to create a DSDT file in Windows. There's an app called ACPI Patcher (I think). It was very straight forward.

I was not able to get my 9800 GT video card to work with DSDT file. So I had to use EFI string for it. As for the sound, I have not been able to get it to work correctly yet. But it seems a lot of people with ALC889A sound are having problems getting it to work on SL.

Sleep works just fine for me but the only thing is that I cannot wake the computer using mouse/keyboard. I have to press the power button to bring it back up. I guess its not a big deal.

stop before Part III if you dont want 5.1 Surround.

Hey, i used the 5.1 method and it works like a charm, thanks to all But my microphone doesn't work. It works on leopard plugged into red port. It doesn't on Snow Leo. I can see BuiltIn Line Input (source is Line), and Built In Microphone Input (source is None).

Is anyone successfull usin the mic?

(PS: I've tried the other empty ports. Still no luck)
