It's possible to use HDAEnabler.kext to do this too, but i find this solution working better, because you can modify it to your own likings. First off, you'll need to go here…

It's possible to use HDAEnabler.kext to do this too, but i find this solution working better, because you can modify it to your own likings.

First off, you'll need to go here
/System/Library/SystemProfiler/SPAudioReporter.spreporter/Contents/Resources/[YourLanguage].lproj/Localizable.strings

Scroll down, and find no_info_found. That is the part you'll want to modify. I changed mine to this

no_info_found = "Realtek ALC888 High Definition Audio:

 Avaliable Devices:
 Line Out:
 Connection:   1/8 Jack
 Headphones:
 Connection:   1/8 Jack  
 Mic in:
 Connection:   1/8 Jack
 Line in:
 Connection:    1/8 Jack";

After you saved it, go check your System Profiler, Audio (built-in) tab. It should now show you're audio device
