Yes Hazard, it is working just fine in Snow Leopard. I am myself using this driver to power the integrated Realtec AC97 on my nForce4 motherboard and I have not had any problems with it.

It works but I can't change the volume using my keyboard or the volume icon in the menu bar. I have to go the the system preferences and change it there. It's not that big of a deal or anything just kinda bothersome.

That is strange, are you sure that you have not missed a setting? It works fine for me, both using keyboard controls and from the menu bar icon. Have no idea what your problem might be :-)

When i click the volume buttons on my keyboard the little volume picture thing comes up and gives me the feedback noise but i cant change the volume. Is there somthing i need to change in the settings?

I had the same issues. But after running marvin's amd patch the volume control started to work as intended on the keyboard.

I think the path to be patched should be this as this was the last log just before my keyboard volume control started working... hope it helps

Yes it worked! Thanks sadwitch!

-Edit-

Now can you help me get the volume icon in the menu bar to work? Same issue really, it's there and i can drag it but it doesn't change the volume. Thanks so much!
