Field Note #1 @naquaada 2009-04-29

I also noticed that in the iPC and XxX images the audio installer packages aren't working. If you have inserted the iPC disc, there should be a folder 'System'. Inside this folder search Installation/Packages/OSx86Patches, There should be various versions of ALC883, test which version works for you. If the installer packages don't work at all I'll help again.
