Hey everybody, I'm new to this forum and have this mobo (GA-G31M-ES2L) which I just got up and running on Snow Leopard thanks to this tutorial link (http://lifehacker.com/5351485/how-to...tart-to-finish), however, audio isn't working.

Do you all have any tips for any things to try? I've tried VoodooHDA and it doesn't seem to work (unless I'm doing it wrong).

When I open the Sound control panel, it shows no input or output devices.

When I go to System Profiler > Audio, I see:

Device ID: 0x1458A002
Audio ID: 12
Available Devices:
Line Out: Connection: 1/8-Inch Jack
External Microphone: Connection: 1/8-Inch Jack
External Microphone: Connection: 1/8-Inch Jack
Headphone: Connection: 1/8-Inch Jack
S/P-DIF Out: Connection: 1/8-Inch Jack

I also tried to launch Audio MIDI Setup but only the Audio Devices page comes up and it says "No Devices Found". (MIDI devices don't show up at all...weird...is that something else broken?)

I actually don't need built-in audio to work, and would prefer to use a third-party soundcard (Tascam US-1641). I googled for US-1641 drivers and did find drivers specifically written for Snow Leopard, so downloaded and installed them. But the US-1641 isn't seen by the OS nor by the Tascam controller application.

I'm new to the OSx86 world so please be gentle. Any pointers to places to research or basic things to try would be really appreciated. Thanks!
