I have a question regarding the installation of the Audio EFI string.

What I have now done doesn't seem to work. Here's what I did: I've downloaded the .ZIP file supplied and installed the kext files using kext helper, after that I used the EFI string also supplied by Gold. I've tried using EFI studio, but it didn't seem to have an option for audio, so instead I selected a random video card, removed the EFI string supplied by the program, and replaced it with the one supplied for the audio support.

Am I doing something wrong? My X61 seems to have working audio option, but there's no actual sound coming out of the speakers/line-out.

Any help appreciated.

Further information regarding installation and version:
Thinkpad X61 7675-CTO
Snow Leopard 10.6.3 Vanilla installation w/ myHack updated to Vanilla 10.6.4 with out any modifications.

Working from the get go:
Graphics
Wireless
Bluetooth
USB

Installed kexts:
PS2 kext
SleepEnabeler kext
AHCI kext
Intel internet kext
SDHC kext

Anything else I should install? I have the feeling that my screen is also at a very low brightness, and I can't seem to find any option to increase/reduce it. Is this a known issue with the x61's?

Is there any need for me to "upgrade" for an example my graphic drivers? I know for an example that it is normal in Windows to always download the latest release of drivers from the manufacturer, because the stock Windows drivers just don't cut it. Any input on this, please?

I would be glad with any help, really. As you can see I'm still a newbie when it comes down to kext/efi string editing, or any rather none vanilla OSX86 editing.

Thus I thank you for this very useful thread, which was a lot of help for me just on his own.
