ok so i tried every audio driver option there was in differrent fresh installs and none worked.
I still dont have sound on my asus a8nsli premium.
Does any one have the same mobo with working sound?
thanks

What is your "sound card"?.

realtec alc850

Hmmmm...No luck for that sound card. A friend told me that editing the AppleAC97Audio it colud work...Did you try this?.

After getting over some initial bouts of stupidity i found that this release (from th tpb iso) works on my system OOTB completely. installed on a separate SATA HD with a freshly formatted single GUID partition and installed GUID EFI v8. the only weird issue is with memory and CPU id. system info IDs the processor correctly but lists only one core, although activity monitor does show two separate and independently operating windows for cpu activity. also my ram is listed at 667 MHz in sysinfo and about this mac. while i would love that my ram is most assuredly maxed out at 400 MHz. only other quirk is having to change my speaker setup to 2ch from 6ch in Audio MIDI setup.

specs:
CPU: AMD Athlon64 X2 4200+
MOBO: MSI K8N Neo-4f (Nforce4 chipset/LAN)
Audio: Onboard Realtek ALC850 (uses AC'97 from install options)
Ram: 2 GB 400 MHz 3-3-3-8 Corsair
HD: 1x160 GB Hitachi Deskstar SATA (Zephyroth 10.5.2)
1x160 GB Hitachi Deskstar SATA (Ubuntu 7.10, OSX can't mount this HD)
1x160 GB WD IDE HD (Vista)
1x500 GR WD USB HD (storage)
GFX: evga Geforce 8800 GTS 320 MB Superclocked
Optical: 1x LG 16x DVD-R/RW+- (can't remember model)
1x Pioneer 111D 16x DVD-R/RW+-
Display: 19" X2gen LCD monitor (VGA connection, ID as display)
22" Viewsonic VX2235m (DVI connection, correct ID in OSX)
Dual screen, Res Change, QE/CI all work

Options on install: 10.5.2 Nvidia Kexts, Nvinject 320 MB, Medevil nForce kexts, forcedeth LAN driver, AC97 audio, EFI_v8 GUID

thanks again zeph for this awesome release and support and everyone else too for being so helpful!

rock on

thanks for your reply!i didnt try to edit bcase i dont really know how to do it...

freshcuts, i used to think sound didn't work on mine because it was set to 6ch in the Audio MIDI setup in utilities and when i would play something sometimes it would play and sometimes it wouldn't because it seemed to send the audio to the random channels that I didn't actually have. so if you haven't looked at that you may want to check it out. hope you get it working

Okay I finally got it installed on IDE, I was never able to get SATA to work after restart with hitting F8 and then typing “mach_kernel rd=disk*s* -v”. I will have to go and try the boot loader fix on page 25 for GUI. My problem now is I have no LAN. I have Nforce 590 (MSI K9N Diamond board) I tried the Nforce drivers and I tried the south bridge via drivers along with the Forcdepth drivers. My LAN worked on 10.5.1 so did I do something wrong? Is there a way to copy the files from the 10.5.1 and use them on 10.5.2?

Thanks for the help

thanks for yor interest. The problem is that in midi setup there is no device
edit:i see we have the same audio device.how come yours work and not mine?
Does the mobo make a difference?

I have an Asus MB though not the same model and have always had problems with sound after an install, there is what works for me, I simply replace the AppleAzaliaAudio.kext with the one from tiger, or search online for an older ver. than what is included with leopard. Now I am not saying that this will fix you problem because your issues could be more than that but this is what works for.

They are on-line tutorials on how to replace kexts, let me know how it works out.
