Working headphones in OSX!

[Guest E=mc²]

I know of the switch.sh method which works perfectly fine, but I've just bumped into another method which switches from speakers to headphones when you simply plug them in! Only just installed the fix myself, but everything is working perfectly fine after a reboot.

During the procedure I had actually deleted the files and folders I mention you need to remove, which upon reflection is very optimistic considering the troubles I've had with this Hackintosh in the past. Although I've not encountered any problems (And don't particularly expect to at this rate), I would recommend backing up the files first. I'm sure you all will do this anyway <_<

Prerequisites

VooDooHDA.kext: http://code.google.com/p/voodoohda/

Procedure

1) Head down to /System/Library/ and remove the Caches folder and Extensions.mkext. As you're in the System folder, you may be prompted with a password dialogue when you try to delete anything.

2) Next, go into the Extensions folder and remove all kexts with "AppleHDA" in their filenames.

3) Launch Kext Helper and install the kexts you downloaded. Reboot when prompted.

4) Repeatedly plug and unplug your headphones in joy whilst making some system noises as I have done.

I've also spotted an installer that might actually do all this automatically called WindVooDooAudio_v1.0 (found in this page), but since I've nothing to test it on I can't confirm whether it works or not. If you're brave and fancy giving it a go, please let me know how it goes!
