when i turn on my computer starts up and then the sound cuts out after i open another application, i think it is something to do with my sound driver. So i think im going to try to reinstall my sound driver but i cant find the link anywhere, i have a Realtek ALC850 Driver, so i need someone to provide me the kext download or if there is another problem fix this.

thankyou fir the reply. Unfortunently being the impatient person I am I tried I restore a time machine backup to see if that would help. I did that and it said it had succesfully restored but now when I restarted my computer it doesn't load up OS X. It just hangs at the part before it where it searches for bootable DVD's. Is there something I am missing? How can I fix this? Or have I killed my hackintosh :S

Author Update #2 @Aydinz 2008-10-19

thanks for the link i did some further searching and already found it on the chameleon website chameleon.osx 86.hu/

wierdly i also found the Leo4All DVD Patch and inside it was everything i needed as well as the sound drivers, even though the sound drivers were a totally different problem...wierd hey?

you guys have been so much help, i am seriously in debt to you all

Field Note #2 @nfoav8or 2008-10-19

Time machine doesn't restore the bootloader. Try to reinstall chameleon via another bootable install (if thats an option) otherwise use PC_EFI to at least get back to your HD then reinstall chameleon.

Field Note #3 @Voyn1x 2008-10-19

You can boot using the install dvd's bootloader. Just leave it in the drive and don't press anything. Once you reach the desktop, download and run the chameleon pkg installer

Field Note #4 @nfoav8or 2008-10-19
