El Capitan: Realtek ALC AppleHDA Audio

Flyinace2000 · March 22, 2016

After the 11.4 update my audio is gone. Usually survives updates as Clover handles the patching. I tried to re-run the new scripts but no luck.

1. Audio driver not loading after 10.11.4 upgrade.

2. See Sig

followed all your instructions.

Is there a question? Problem?

After the 11.4 update my audio is gone.

SIP enabled, no kext editing, unsigned kexts permitted.

csr-active-config is not useful, use 3 or 67.

Use one Post #1 audio install method. More than one method, audio failure.

Hi Toleda,

Yep, nothing changes. Audio doesn't work. In fact before I tried to use other script because with cloverALC I have no audio... Thx

Hi All,

I used Toleda Script CloverALC-110command. I Use these Kext to patch entries:

Audio is working after executing the script however I see Hebrew Characters in Sound Preferences:

Anybody knows why this is happening ? Thank you.

Thanks, I was playing around today and came to the same conclussion. Fixed the flags to 0x3, rebooted, reran the scripts and all is well.

Hi Toleda,

Audio now works like a charm, thanks! But I have a "minor" problem, that it does not work after sleep. It because very very loud and more similar to a noise than a sound. Is it possible to solve it?
Thank u so much

toleda · March 24, 2016

does not work after sleep.

psycmos · March 26, 2016

Hi Toleda.

I have On board Audio Realtek® ALC887 8-Channel .
I put it working perfect with your method.

But i'm having one problem, sound snaps ( continuous clicks) after AppleHDA sleeps.
When i plays some sound, it plays without any problem, but after 2 minutes without sound, the sound card sleeps and starts doing continuous clicks until i play other sound again.

You have some method to prevent sound card from sleep?

Your reply is very appreciated.
Best regards
Nuno

Solved:
I found the solution:

Audio / AFGLowPowerState

<key>AFGLowPowerState</key>
<false/>

This helps remove cracking sounds at audio output after idle mode, so sound card is always on.

If some have this problem can use it in clover

Unsupported/Non-working Realtek ALC AppleHDA.kext

(…)

X99/Intel High Definition Audio (Workaround requires 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6)

Install 10.9.5 AppleHDA.kext_v2.6.3

Hi,

As I understand, the solution for x99 systems is still to use the AppleHDA kext from 10.9.5

Is there a way to use the one from 10.11.4? The other starts to get old and gives me (sometimes) random kernel panics under 10.11.4 (was fine under 10.11.3).

There must be a way to patch the recent AppleHDA to work on X99 systems. Any idea on where to start? What changed after the 10.9.5 version to stop to work?

tarasis · March 30, 2016

Hi, I wanted to ask what I could do to debug why 5.1 Surround (Analog or Optical Out) isn't activating / available.

I've tried both the audio_CloverALC patch, and also the AppleALC driver but both have the same results. While using Layouts 1-3 (specified through config.plist DSDT patch), I get the outputs in 2Ch stereo. There is never a mention of 5.1 in the Speakers Panel, in the Audio Midi Setup app, or using VLC (Audio->Audio Drivers->Built In Digital Output)

I have a Asus Z97-A motherboard which uses ALC892 for audio (6 ports on the back). I am running El Capitan 10.11.4.

Thank you toleda.

I installed the native 10.11.4 AppleHDA, and followed your instructions (I used the solution that is not touching AppleHDA and creates one in L/E) and clover patches. I then added the X99 chipset patch in clover and tried 1D20, 0D0C, 9C20, 8C20, 9CA0, 8CA0, A170 and 9D70 without any success.

I will try again, with more ids, but by using the patched AppleHDA itself (in S/L/E) instead of using the alternative L/E method (to be as close as possible to my 10.9.5 working situation).

Regards.

I want to say thank you for your contributions to osx86 community. I used your "audio_cloverALC-110.command.zip" to enable my ALC887 codec via the Clover method. Now if it's not too much trouble to ask, what files were updated using your patch? I ask this because I would like to save those files for backup purposes just in case I need to reinstall them again and your patch requires internet access to run properly. Thanks

More info: AppleHDAController native Intel ids

Ok, I reinstalled AppleHDA by patching the 10.11.4 kext directly, using your method. For some reason, if I use the Clover patches, the device is not recognized.

That being said, I have an excellent news: for the controller, I used 8CA0 to replace 8C20, and it works!!

That means that X99 systems can again use the latest AppleHDA (and not be stuck with the 10.9.5 version). You can include that in your next guide update.

KextsToPatch -> AppleHDAController -> Find "oIw=" Replace "II0="

Now, I need to get why keeping the genuine unpatched AppleHDA in /S/L/E and using the dummy AppleHDA-ALC1150 in /L/E and Clover patches (all done by your script) does not work (device is not recognized, not shown).

would like to save those files for backup purposes just in case I need to reinstall them again and your patch requires internet access to run properly.

ALC887: layout/platforms files, edit .xml to .zml for installation in Resources folder. Another suggestion, backup patched S/L/E/AppleHDA.kext.

used 8CA0 to replace 8C20, and it works!!

Now, I need to get why keeping the genuine unpatched AppleHDA in /S/L/E and using the dummy AppleHDA-ALC1150 in /L/E and Clover patches (all done by your script) does not work (device is not recognized, not shown).

Great work, thanks for the controller patch experiments.

Dummy will not work. Suggest Post #1/pikeralphaALC; installs /L/E/AppleHDA1150.kext with native S/L/E/AppleHDA.kext.

This post is specifically about C610/X99 audio controller; ALC1150 on X99 System (Clover patch replacing 8c20 by 8ca0 in config.plist/KernelAndKextPatches/KextsToPatch/10.9.4-10.10-/x99 ALC Onboard Audio).

Great work, thanks for the controller patch experiments.

Dummy will not work. Suggest Post #1/pikeralphaALC; installs /L/E/AppleHDA1150.kext with native S/L/E/AppleHDA.kext.

You're welcome! Thank you for your incredible dedication to all of this.

It did not work. Here is my report on different methods:

I. 1. audio_cloverALC-110.command.zip => WORKS (Warning: script removed AppleHDAController kext clover patch, I had to add it back)

I. 2. audio_realtekALC-110.command.zip => WORKS (Note: I don't know if it removed the clover patch as I tried this first and apply the X99 patch after)

I.3. audio_pikeralphaALC-110.command.zip => DEVICE NOT RECOGNIZED (does not appear at all)

II. Piker-Alpha AppleHDA8series Script

-> tried with AppleHDA1150.kext in L/E/ => DEVICE NOT RECOGNIZED (does not appear at all)

-> installed AppleHDA1150.kext in S/L/E/ => DEVICE NOT RECOGNIZED (does not appear at all)

We are making progress on the X99 case, as we know can use latest AppleHDA.

For some reason though, the Piker Alpha solutions (which I like the idea as it does not touch at all the AppleHDA.kext) are not working. Any thoughts on why or how to fix that?

The patch from Clover by replacing 8C20 by 8CA0 in AppleHDAController is great. I wonder if there is a way to make an SSDT (to patch DSDT) to change the device-id of the C610/X99 audio controller to 8CA0 and trick AppleHDAController this way, without patching it at all from Clover. I tried to change IONAme, device-id and a few things this way, and it showed changes in IORegistry, but it did not work (no sound) ; I probably did not do the right thing, or maybe it is simply not possible to do that from SSDT/DSDT.
