[cite] bajanboy:[/cite]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.

can you please send me the kext u used so maybe i could try to replace mine.
Thanks
edit i attached an image of my setup:

I have that motherboard and the sound worked out the box with the AC97 driver selected during install. Try putting the DVD in and using iVisible or pathfinder to show hidden files then run the ac97 installer package.

For example,check (go to):
---> /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAC97Audio.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleAC97Audio-brand-.kext/Contents
---> chmod 644 Info.plist
---> nano Info.plist
Look for some Id device 0x0850XXX.If is not,add this string...

I have an A8N5X modo with a Realtek ALC850 sound chipset and my dev id is in AppleAC97AudioIntelICH.kext/Contents/Info.plist.
My dev id is 0x005910de. If it can help.

Thought I'd put my trials and success in

DLed from the usenet groups.

First install - missed the customize options - didn't want to boot

Second install - Checked appropriate options (New Kernel, VIA drivers, nVidia installer, GUID bootloader) - could never get past the HFS+ partition error. Tried all the fdisk stuff but no joy

Third install - Checked appropriate options same as above but with older kernel and MBR bootloader - booted right up. nVidia didn't want to work so I installed Zeph's installer from the wiki post-install and it took this time. Onboard LAN not working but Linksys USB Ethernet adapter working great. Onboard AC97 working. iLife/Office 08 working great after Marvin's Utility run (iPhoto "failed to load" crashes before running Marvin's Util).

Thanks Zeph! You da man!

Abit A8V Motherboard S939
Athlon 64 X2 3600+
2 SATA drives (1 w OSX, 1 with data)
nVidia FX5200
