You can use either the dsdt.aml or the HDAEnabler.kext (don't use both) along with the HDA.kext. I use the dsdt.aml for my sound which just injects audio information (layout-id, and pin configurations) and the HDA.kexts injects the proper layout information for your on-board audio to work. HDAEnabler.kext does the same thing as dsdt.aml, it just injects it in a different place in the IORegistry. put the dsdt.aml file in /Extra and the HDA.kext and HDAEnabler.kext (only if you don't want to use my dsdt.aml file) in /Extra/Extensions. rebuild the /Extra/Extensions.mkext using MKextTool and reboot if your using leopard. if your using Snow Leopard, follow the above directions except run Kext Utility app in the tools folder instead of MKextTool and then reboot. You should now have line out, front headphones, line in and mic working. Don't forget to remove all of your other sound kexts (AppleAzailia, Voodoo etc. before you run Kext Utility).

Thank you very much swhya! I have been trying to get sound working on my Gigabyte GA-G31M-E2SL Rev. 2 under Snow Leopard for some time now and your method finally got it running. Decompiling your .aml file and comparing it with mine made me notice a "Device (AZAL)" section was still remaining in mine. After commenting the AZAL device out, I was able to boot with audio using my patched dsdt and your HDA.kext in /Extra/Extensions. Next there were some sound assertion failures to fix. They all disappeared when I disabled Azaila audio in the BIOS.
All of my references to "patched dsdt" refer to using http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/ind...owtopic=143697
On a side note, I was not able to get audio working without resorting to dsdt patching. Maybe removing Device (AZAL) or disabling it in the BIOS is the minimum requirement to just use kexts?
