Wow! Nice build man!

 

I found your topic through google, trying to find out about compatibility with this mobo. I am looking to start a similar build (i5-4430 + 660gtx) and it is great to see you got it working so well with this mobo :)

 

If you don't mind, I just had a question about sound working in OSX. In your first screenshot you showed installed ALC892 from multibeast, and then said you fixed the sound with Voodoo? If you could, do you think you could elaborate a little on what that entailed? I was under the impression this board uses ALC887 audio?

 

Have you gotten sound working 100%? My current hackintosh build (running AMD Athlon x3 with modded kernel, it's a mess) does not work 100% with audio (sound must be handled through soundflower, and automatic headphone detection is broken), so I am curious.

Well, I was wrong. I am currently using the ALC 887 drivers from multibeast and not using Voodooloader. Unfortunatly, when my computer was in stand-by I have to reboot to get back audio.

Hey man, so I just got my build up and running, with Mavericks and Windows 7, and I think I've found a solution to the audio difficulties in OS X! The problem seems to be with the latest audio kexts in multibeast. If you use Multibeast 5.5.5 (the Mountain Lion version) to install the audio kext it works fine even after sleep!

 

I have been using it since I figured out the issue without problems, so I thought I'd share it with you here. For our mobo, the kext you want to install with multibeast 5.5.5 is the non-DSDT ALC887/888b CURRENT (not legacy) kext. You don't need to change anything else, and can still use Multibeast for Mavericks for all the other system kexts. Hope this helps, the sound issue was bugging me and I'm glad to have found a solution :-)
