Metralha · November 9, 2015

I have a Dell Latitude E6230 sound ALC892 and i had problems getting the sound to come out so i used voodooHDA and now i have sound and also mic working. I just need the Audio HDMI to work now...

If is any help for any of you with sound issue here is the pkg i used:

VoodooHDA-v2.zip

Sevilio · November 9, 2015

Unfortunally it doesn't work for me on El Captain 10.11.1 with Clover and no EFI partition.
I'm using this command file:
audio_cloverALC-110_v1.0k.command

Can anyone help me to understand what is wrong, or suggest me another method to get it work?
Tks in advance!

You have an EFI folder. Codec is disabled, verify BIOS/HD Audio/Enabled.

Sorry for incomplete report on another post, my BIOS don't have a HD Audio option, toleda. I only have an Azalia Codec option setted up as [Auto].
I don't think that is a BIOS config related problem, because i have a 10.8.5 installed on another disk and the audio is working with a modified AppleHDA.kext in S/L/E.

Please help. Here is the info required in the problem reporting procedure:

1. No audio devices listed

2. OS X version/motherboard model/BIOS version/processor/graphics:

El Capitan 10.11.1

GIGABYTE GA-Z77X-UD5H-WB LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

Intel Core i7-3770K Ivy Bridge 3.5GHz (3.9GHz Turbo)

GIGABYTE GV-N670OC-2GD GeForce GTX 670 2GB 256-bit GDDR5

3. Procedure/Guide Used:

I used the Realtek ALC AppleHDA Script and the instructions from:

http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/308387-el-capitan-realtek-alc-applehda-audio/

I used the script:

audio_cloverALC-110_v1.0j.command

Thanks for the help in advance. Toleda, you are doing amazing things. Everything should be in the zip attached, but please let me know if I didn't include anything you need to help. I feel like I must be close to a solution.

toleda · November 11, 2015

can't apply patch to ALC888S and Card not recognised

Script says: No audio codec detected

However, IOReg, run a day later, shows HDEF

Edit dsdt/HDEF/layout-id from 0x78, 0x03, 0x00, 0x00 to 0x01, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00

Restart. Run the script again and reply with new files.

No audio devices listed

Pike method installed. Two installed audio methods ensure audio failure. Remove S/L/E/AppleHDA898.kext.

Verify S/L/E/AppleHDA.kext is native. Run script again.

Thank you for the help!!! The AppleHDA898.kext was actually in the L/E folder and not the S/L/E folder. I deleted it, along with the realtekALC.kext file in my kexts folder of the EFI/CLOVER/kexts/10.11 folder on the EFI partition. I also deleted all the AppleHDA "kexts to patch" in my config.plist. I then used ##### to reinstall the native AppleHDA.kext to my S/L/E folder. I then restarted and patched with the audio_cloverALC-110_v1.0j.command script.

This worked. I'm sure I didn't need to go to all the effort to remove all the patches and kexts in the EFI partition, however I didn't want to take any chances.

Again, like I said before, toleda, you are doing amazing things here and deserve more than you probably get.

uglyJoe · November 12, 2015

Hi toleda,

so far I was using your script to patch my AppleHDA but now I build my own codec-verb and layout to fully support my board.

For this I have a question to your customizations.

Is there any reason why you disable the devices if there are not in use (inside layout)?

And therefor this post isn't totally off-topic:

Undefined devices result in sound assertions. Technique is reflected in native AppleHDA.kext.

Sevilio · November 13, 2015

Toleda.
I changed dsdt/HDEF/layout-id from 0x78, 0x03, 0x00, 0x00 to 0x01, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 as you suggested me, anyway it still doesn't work.
I don't have any idea of what is happening here.
I´m going craaaazy.

Here is all zipped logs and new DSDT:

Ok, I found an example inside AppleHDA and disabled the unused nodes in my config-data.

The last sound assertion is gone

Thanks for sharing!

Mathias_MM · November 19, 2015

Hi,

Bit of a noob here. This is my first mackintosh, and it's based on Skylake. So bound to give trouble

I get no sound outputs in sound prefs, and thus obviously no sound at all.

El Cap 10.11.1, Skylake 6600k, Asus Z170m Plus, which has ALC887. GTX970 gfx. Newest bios, installed using Pikes patch.

I installed via the Clover script last night, newly downloaded from the repo. As I had messed with it before, I made sure that the AppleHDA kext was newly replaced from the installer.

Script output:

I tried to edit exactly as you said above, but MaciASL return a error when i tried to compile the code, so its still no candy for me.

Hi,

First, thank you for your efforts at making AppleHDA audio work on a Hackintosh. Everything you do, and the help you provide, is much appreciated.

I have successfully built a Hackintosh running El Capitan using the Gigabyte ZA-Z97X-UD7 motherboard and a Quad Core i7 CPU. Now I am trying to get a Hackintosh running using the Gigabyte GA-X99-SLI and a 6-core CPU. I currently have it running except for the audio. I have followed your instructions at the beginning of this thread and I was successful at getting the audio device to show up (both in System Report and in System Preferences/Sound). Applications and the OS "think" there is a sound device there. However, no sound comes out of the system.

This is a Quad Boot system that is also running Win 8.1, Win 10, and CentOS 6.5 and audio works with all of the other operating systems, so I know there isn't anything wrong with the system. In order to boot in El Capitan (by the way, on 10.11.1), I need to use npci=0x2000 as a boot flag (0x3000 also works, but I understand that disables audio, and it also hangs occasionally, so I am using 0x2000).

I hope you can help me sort out what is the audio issue! Thank you in advance. I will try to attach all the information you requested.

Specs (this is a workstation for running Autodesk Flame and Smoke, as well as Avid Media Composer, by the way)

GA-X99-SLI

Core i7 5930K 6-core CPU

32 GB RAM (4 x 8)

OS X 10.11.1

Clover Bootloader

PNY Nvidia GTX 980 Ti

Currently also has a Blackmagic Design Decklink SDI video card installed -- it was not installed when I attempted to patch the audio

BIOS: version F1 (original shipping version. There is a beta BIOS available that adds support for 16 GB RAM sticks)

Prodedure used to install:
TonyMac Install OS X El Capitan to Any Supported Intel-based PC

Addition of VoodooTSCSync.kext to deal with 6-core

##### 8.0

Audio Fixes: From TonyMac "No Audio Devices Realtek ALC AppleHDA Guide"

Also: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/308387-el-capitan-realtek-alc-applehda-audio/

I hand-patched the Clover config.plist file with the additions suggested in this post (in config-audio_cloverALC-x99.plist). I chose to patch the AppleHDA kext itself versus patching the kernel cache.

Edit: Forgot to mention that I needed to add another kext called Test2.kext, which is apparently required to resolve an early boot up failure [OsxAptioFixDrv: AllocateRelocBlock(): can not allocate relocation block (0x16687 pages below 0x100000000) ]. By the way, I still get this "can not allocate relocation block" error if I add too many PCI-e cards to the system. I need to resolve this in order to put a 40 Gigabit Ethernet card in the system, along with a video I/O card such as AJA or Decklink. But that is a separate issue I think.
