I have done, what I think, to be impossible, Line in/out working on a Realtek ALC860! Honest to god! What I did for the sound was I removed the AppleAzaliaAudio(Not sure how it's spelled) Kext, then I opened OSx86 Tools, Install Hardware and Drivers, and selected my audio! It worked without restarting! For the Line in i cheated , I took a SingStar Mic, and the USB Input cable and that worked to! now I have everything working and Im afraid to restart lol,

Tell me if there's anything I can do to help make this available to everybody, or make this a permanent fix

I use a great little app called LineIn (rogue amoeba.com/freebies) that allows my Hack's line in to work. It's only provides soft play through, so if you're into professional audio work then this will not suffice, but for general play through it works great.
