Yeah, so, I've got AppleALC 1.3.4 with Lilu 1.3.4 on my sig build, aaand...I had occasions where it will simply lose audio. The devices are still detected, the kexts are obviously loaded, but no actual sound.

And I've got AppleALC 1.3.5 (and 1.3.6) with Lilu 1.3.3 on a Skylake build, with no issues.

 

Also, I've tried Lilu 1.3.5 & AppleALC 1.3.6 (official builds) and i've got the same weird issue with no sound sometimes, on the Skylake build. Weird thing is that I've got the same versions on my Haswell build...and so far so good... So something has to be different here... So far, I'd say this is probably a bug with Lilu...? Cause it doesn't seem to occur with combinations of old-Lilu + newer AppleALC.

 

So:

 

Lilu 1.3.3 + AppleALC 1.3.4 -> OK

Lilu 1.3.4 + AppleALC 1.3.4 -> no sound sometimes...but devices are still detected in System Preferences, just..no actual sound

Lilu 1.3.5 + AppleALC 1.3.6 -> OK...for now, but only on one build. On the Skylake, I still get no sound sometimes (and the devices are not detected either). Only BT devices (probably USB devices, too) seem to work in this case.

 

Later update: Lilu 1.3.5 + 1.3.6 = same issue on both builds

 

I'll keep investigating this, but so far, the most stable versions seem to be Lilu 1.3.3 + AppleALC 1.3.4. AppleALC doesn't seem to have any effect here. So, it works just as well with Lilu 1.3.3 and AppleALC 1.3.6, for example. But Lilu didn't work the same way regardless of version. And it looks like, starting with Lilu 1.3.4, there's a problem somewhere.

hello, well I'm having an issue where 
No audio at all, neither through headphones nor through speakers, no devices show on the Audio control panel, neither in nor out I Tried : 

1- installing AppleALC.Kext to /L/E
2- config.plist : A : DSDT patch: HDAS to HDEF
B: Devices: Inject “1” , ResetHDA : YES

vanilla AppleHDA is still loaded in the system 

Config Plist used: Rehabman’s Config for UHD630
MACOS : 10.14.3
Motherboard: HP Pavilion Gaming 15-CX0056wm 
BIOS: Clover UEFI 
Processor intel core i5-8300H & 300 Series Chipset
Graphics: intel UHD 630 (working) / nVidia 1050Ti (not working but didn’t disable it yet)
Audio : Vendor ID : 10EC (Realtek) Device ID : 0295 (after searching the internet I think the codec my device use is ALC295 correct me if I’m wrong)

Guide used to install macOS :
Why InsanelyMac does not support tonymacx86

Guide to get Audio Working:

I tested all the layout IDs (1,3,13,14,15,28) but nothing worked

Thanks for your support

Ok, will keep Lilu 1.3.3 and AppleALC then. It seems ok anyway with the latest 10.14.4.

 

Thanks.

Hello,

 

I have a Dell 17R 7720 Special Edition Laptop (Core i7, HD 4000, nVidia GT 650M) and actually I'm checking the audio problem. VoodooHDA works, but main volume control is not possible. It's a bit annyoing to use the volume control of each program.

 

I modified some of the kext because Apple libraries higher than 8.0.0 were necessary, so all kexts are working.

AppleALC.kext is loaded, I also added the IDT 92HD91BXX (Codec ID: 0x111D76E0 / 287143648), but during booting it's displayed that the pinout is wrong. How can I create a new one?

 

Greets, naquaada.

Hi,

I've solved my pb by installing CodecCommander.kext of Rehabman (thanks), in L/E like recommended, and after editing the info.plist file...

Thanks ;-)

Hi, i have the same pb like you. Could you share your CodecCommander file ? I have a XPS 13 9370 too with an ALC299. Device showed up but no audio. 
You placed it in the L/E not S/L/E ?
Best regards

I used to do the hackintosh about 8 years ago. I stopped but recently fell into a couple of used macs that needed hardware repair to get going.

 

Would AppleALC work on a real Mac? I have an old iMac 8,1 that I have patched to 10.14.4 with dosdude1's tool. I get bad audio clipping with his Legacy Audio Patcher. I have a vanilla AppleHDA.kext that I can pull from a supported Mac with 10.14.4 already on it. I have installed Lilu and AppleALC into /L/E/ but I think I am still missing a boot argument that I cannot figure out. DCPI Manager says my iMac's audio is Realtek ALC889A. I am supposed to avoid using Clover on a real Mac, so all I can think of is not having the right boot argument in place for AppleALC to work. Thanks in advance.

Hi 

 

Can someone help me with this?

 

I have Dell Optiplex 3060 that came with combo jack (front), speaker port (back) and internal speaker 

the codec is ALC255

 

Layout 18

- I try all layout IDs. please see the result in the attachment (screenshot)

 

I attached some files that could be helpful to fi my issues 

- the second screenshot shows the ports in my PC

- the codec dump from Ubuntu (sound drivers installed) is in the attachment

- the Dmsg from Ubuntu is in the attachment 

- Screenshot from Dmsg is in the attachment (shows something related to the sound card)

 

Note1: currently I am running version 1.3.6 of AppleALC

Note2: all the test has been done with AppleALC 1.3.5

Note3: using layout27 in AppleALC 1.3.6 if I connect my headphone to the back jack. the mic is working with noise !!! (in Ubuntu and windows the mic never work from the back jack. the back jack used only for speaker). I try a mic only without headphone and it's not working. only headphone mic working with noise 

 

One more question. Is there any tutorial to modify the AppleALC? 

 

thanks

@vandroiy2012 i want to ask,, what's "Anti Click Patch" in newest commit? Can you give explanation?

Hey @Andres ZeroCross thanks so much for your work! I wanted to know the answer too because I thought the Anti-click meant the click you get when the audio codec goes to sleep, but I still get that click or pop as some people call it unless there are two different things?

 

Is there a proper way to get AppleALC to use AntiPop instead of using another product or script? Please let me know as this issue and the COEF issue with my Realtek ALC256 for headsets are the main things I've noticed with Hackintosh.

Open macIASL and create new file then paste this, then save as SSDT-1.aml and put to EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/Patched. Make sure there is no RMCF method in HDEF at your DSDT.aml.

Thanks, but I am already using a SSDT for CodecCommander. My 0x21 is using 021707c0 and my 0x19 is 01970724 as according to my linux dump, shows that is correct. What is the propose of Node 20 and what does the COEF commands in this case do? This is my SSDT.aml file.

                    "On Wake", 
                    ">y"
                }
            }, 

            "Perform Reset", 
            ">n", 
            "Perform Reset on External Wake", 
            ">n", 
            "Send Delay", 
            0x0A, 
            "Sleep Nodes", 
            ">n"
        }
    })
}

I will attach my codec_dump file in case there is something else that I am missing with AppleALC. I appreciate your assistance.

Hey everyone first of all I love your work. You're superstars.

 

Now I haven't been able to get audio working and it seems that this is the new go-to option.

My audio codecs are not supported and I'm wondering if installing Realtek would enable me to use this method? Would upgrading to Win10 help?

I also have to use this:

Would that have an impact? If needed I can buy a new pc case and not have to use it.

 

Running macOS Mojave 10.14 fresh install with VirtualBox 6 on this host:

Codecs according to WindowsMediaPlayer:

Please help! Thanks for your time.

Hi folks! I'm reluctant to add another post to this long topic, but it's somewhat pertinent and could help others with similar hardware if they perform a search.

 

I successfully created a new layout for a ALC1220 chip in my MSI P65 Creator laptop. It's very similar to the GS65 Stealth, so this layout might work for that machine as well.

The pull request is here: https://github.com/acidanthera/AppleALC/pull/401

The layout is numbered 34.

 

I spent more than a couple weeks chipping away at this very complex process of extracting codec info, playing trial and error, and figuring out what works and what doesn't work. None of the other layouts would work. The closest I came was with #13, but it would act erratically and only work once every so often. After understanding more about the verbs and node ID's I understand now that the hardware was just too different.

 

Feedback is welcome. I didn't want to just keep this fix to myself since it could help others with similar hardware.

 

Cheers!

- Sean

Yeah, so, I've got AppleALC 1.3.4 with Lilu 1.3.4 on my sig build, aaand...I had occasions where it will simply lose audio. The devices are still detected, the kexts are obviously loaded, but no actual sound.

 

Also, I've tried Lilu 1.3.5 & AppleALC 1.3.6 (official builds) and i've got the same weird issue with no sound sometimes, on the Skylake build.

 

Later update: Lilu 1.3.5 + 1.3.6 = same issue on both builds

 

I'll keep investigating this, but so far, the most stable versions seem to be Lilu 1.3.3 + AppleALC 1.3.4. AppleALC doesn't seem to have any effect here. So, it works just as well with Lilu 1.3.3 and AppleALC 1.3.6, for example. But Lilu didn't work the same way regardless of version. And it looks like, starting with Lilu 1.3.4, there's a problem somewhere.

 

Sorry arsradu, too lazy myself to try latest Lilu and AppleALC: is this bug solved with latest releases in case you tried them?

 

Thanks,

 

Patrice
