Here some testing for you and other users:
 
Clover on the fly audio is the best method. No problems and no intervention for updates.
 
 
The package includes:
Original (Vanilla) AppleHDA for Capitan including layout28.zml.zlib and Platforms.zml.zlib
realtekALC.kext for ConfigData
 
instructions:
1. Install AppleHDA by S/L/E with SIP 0x67
2. Copy realtekALC.kext by EFI/Clover/kexts/10.11/
3. Inject Clover's Kext to activate "Yes"

4. Add the following in a config.plist with CloverConfigurator:

5. rebuild cache (sudo kextcache -prelinked-kernel)
6. Reboot and have fun

please don't forget to give the credit to Chris 1111 who made these wonderful Installer  and the Clover team for the Execelant bootloader

AppleHDA+CodecCommander+DSDT in post 135

 

AppleHDA+CodecCommander+DSDT   is that for audio

Confirmed working with z400 and 10.11 (El Cap)

 

What a breeze compared to Enoch method.

 

1. Create USB key via Chris1111

2. Copy files / DSDT into EFI partition of USB key (inside the 10.11 folder for kext)

3. Boot from USB key.

4. Install OS -- without boot flags - reboot.

5. Load OS, use post install via Chris1111.

6. Mount EFI partition and move DSDT and Kext files from USB key to folders.

7. Repair permissions.

8. Install Audio as above (Codec Commander)

9. Update to Beta (if you want).

 

Excellent work everyone. Clover is vastly superior due to the hidden Kext / DSDT files and update potential.

Just updated.

I tried it last night with already made usb for precision 690, just replaced the dsdt and kexts inside kexts folder in efi and nothing shows up after the clover bootloader.  I just remade another vanilla usb with the universal os x installer by chris, will try again soon and report back.

Yes, the best method for Capitan is Clover.

 
I wonder about the use of CodecComander. Your ALC262 has no EAPD. The Kext includes nothing for ALC262. The patched AppleHDA of Mavericks or Yosemite also work with Capitan. The best method is on the fly.
 
Some fixes are not necessary because they are in DSDT it (AddDTGP, FixIPIC and more).
Audio-Inject 28 with Clover is not necessary if HDEF is fixed in the DSDT.
 
rootless is no longer necessary (it was only during the Capitan beta < GM. Was replaced by SIP.)
PCIRootUID=0 is standard in Clover, I think
 
Here's what to test:
 
 
I have "HDA / hda-gfx" inserted for HDMI audio
when non-native HDMI support (AMD and Nvidia):
to EFI/Clover/kexts/10.11/

Quick question about this installer.

 

Where specifically is it installing to and what changes is it making?

 

Is it going to S/L/E or elsewhere?

 

Is it possible to point it to the EFI / Clover partition?

 

Thanks!

Post Installer contain only the Bootloader Clover Mode ESP (EFI Parttion)

For those of you who have El Capitan up and running on an HP Z400 using Clover. I would like to know what version of Clover was used, which Post Installer, DSDT file and where was it placed. I want to know any files that were added to the EFI Clover folder, and any other information and or files needed for a successful Install.  Thanking you in advance.
