I'm still quiet in regards to onboard audio, and have relegated myself to enjoy my hackintosh for awhile using the usb speaker system. There as to be some difference in my hardware from others that are experiencing success as I've tried all suggestions.. and even a complete removal / reinstall of SL and for the life of me cannot get my mobo sound to show up as an option.

I'm gonna mess around and see if there are other glitches I haven't discovered yet before diving back into audio. For now, I'm only seeing a slow down in response on my NTFS formatted hard drive when accessing through SL disk utility. It took forever for Itunes to organize my catalog and generate artwork from that drive.

Sorry, not much to offer in terms of assistance at this point in time.. will update if I uncover something. Good luck...
