So, after reading and reading and searching for a simple solution to the ALC890 sound problem I have it fixed and working. The trick is very simple. The new voodooHDA.kext
I suspect this will also work with 888, 889a, etc....

The link is here

This driver has solved all problems for my ALC890 sound driver.
Simply used osx86 Tools on an iPC 10.5.6 ppf5 final installation to install the kext and reboot. Badda-bing ! Soundsville.

If someone with 888 or 889a drivers can try this as well and see if it works that would be good.

My system is an ASRock p45ts-r board for anyone else running it or something similar, Give it a go, it might work for you too.
