New Unified Realtek Onboard Audio Solution: ALC8xxHDA

type="html">

Introducing MacMan's ALC8xxHDA.kext, a single combined LegacyHDA replacement for Realtek ALC888, ALC887/888b, ALC889, ALC885/889a, and ALC892 high-definition audio codecs.  In order to initiate audio, this driver must be combined with a DSDT from the DSDT Database or HDAEnabler.  For any codecs other than the native ALC885/889a, AppleHDA Rollback must also be used.  All options now available in the latest MultiBeast.

To update from an existing MultiBeast LegacyHDA + AppleHDA rollback:

1. Delete LegacyHDA from /Extra/Extenisons
2. Open MultiBeast
3. Select ALC8xxHDA + AppleHDA Rollback + System Utilities
4. Reboot

To update from an existing MultiBeast VoodooHDA:

1. Delete VoodooHDA from System/Library/Extensions.
2. Open MultiBeast
3. Select ALC8xxHDA + AppleHDA Rollback + System Utilities
4. Reboot

OUTPUTS: Analog Front Headphone/Green Line-out, Orange Line-out, Grey Line-out, Digital SPDIF-OUT
