Ever since the 10.6.8 update that changed the coreapi for audio I've been using the 10.6.7 AppleHDA.kext fine in Lion and Mountain Lion on my Mac Pro 3,1. It's worked just fine and now, after having installed Mavericks and replacing the AppleHDA once more, the machine will just freeze on bootup. Luckily I have a backup partition where I can change up kexts and reinstalling the Mavericks' AppleHDA.kext works OK.

But is there a way of getting my Ol' trusty 10.6.7 kext back in Mav?

Thanks

Perhaps just an idea but that binary in there is probably still a fat binary with 32 bit maybe ppc parts left in it so try the lipo command to get only the 64 bit executable out of it to use in the .kext.
