Great to see there is a solution to the sound problem on the Hackintosh Eee PC! Check out the
Wired article on this.
The OSx86 hacking scene, which involves installing the Mac OS onto generic PCs instead of those shiny Apple boxes, is characterized by the troubles of marrying hardware to software. In short, OS X just doesn't have drivers for many of the internal parts such as Wi-Fi cards and, almost as important, sound hardware.
In fact, getting sound in and out of a netbook Hackintosh has proved to be a big challenge. At least with Wi-Fi you can always just swap out the card for an Airport-compatible one. Enterprising hackers also helped us to get the headphone jack working on our Gadget Lab Wind, and now the folks at ipis OS X have done the same for the Eee PC.
