I followed this guide and patched the original AppleHDA (snow leopard edition). Every time I reboot I see the sound assertion as below.

Some times, I could get kp, failed to get into SL desktop, and had to reboot with -v -f and managed to get into SL and got working headphones, internal speakers, line out(automatically switch), but can't record. After that, I can reboot normally and get into SL, but sound assertion in logs.

If I intalled any new kexts or ran kextutility, in next reboot, I would get a kp same as before.

Attached are my patched drivers and code dump from linux and pinconfigurations from windows.

Anyone can help would be much appreciated. Really need working recording.
