This is the Intel Power Gadget started when the OS is logged in. Thanks. Cool. Could you also please, upload a screenshot of the Activity Monitor? I'm just trying to see what exactly is keeping your CPU up so high. I kinda doubt it's the actual kext. I'm using the exact same one and I don't have this issue. Also, so far, looks like you're the only one with this issue. Edited July 3, 2018 by arsradu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badruzeus Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 @vit9696 Thank you, AppleALC v1.2.8 (plus Lilu v1.2.4) are working fine with 10.11.6 (15G22010) and 10.14 Beta 3 (18A326g). #Question: if Lilu was updated with newer version, do we need to rebuild AppleALC with that's new one as well? Thanks. AppleALC1.2.8_Lilu1.2.4_2018-07-04.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arsradu Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 (edited) Guys, is there any particular cause for having sound with Line Out but not Internal Speakers? Everything was fine until I removed CodecCommander from S/L/E. After the reboot, I had no sound (icon enabled, all fine in System Preferences), just...no sound in speakers. And that's not just with Mojave. Same with High Sierra. I tried with AppleALC 1.2.8v3 and Lilu 1.2.4, also tried with AppleALC 1.2.8v2 and Lilu 1.2.3. Same issue with both... I have sound...just not with Internal Speakers (which worked perfectly fine before). Update: oook, so, looks like the Layout ID was the culprit here. I was using Layout ID 7, and apparently that enables Line Outs, but somehow disables Internal Speakers... Not sure if that's intended. Anyway, I switched to Layout ID 2. Now I have Internal Speakers working, but no Line Out (muted just like Internal Speakers were before). I'm not sure my motherboard has Line Outs anyway. So I guess that's fixed.

The point is...it didn't do that before. I don't understand how would CodecCommander change the behaviour of AppleALC in any way... Update: I put back CodecCommander, now I have sound with Internal Speakers again... But...why? Update2: The injected Layout ID was causing this.

Are you saying that when you add the correct Layout ID, the CPU load increases, as well? And without it is where? Could you upload a screenshot from Intel Power Gadget when without that Layout ID injected? I'm thinking you might have some processes running in background. Could you please, remove the serials from your SMBIOS and RT Variables section and upload your Clover folder for analysis? Also, please, add your hardware information to your signature.

arsradu Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Dell Inspiron... Isn't that a laptop? Why are you using iMac14,2 for that? Why are you using iMac in the first place? Also, what does that have to do with AppleALC? Have you tried a MacBookPro14,3 SMBIOS for example? Also, I'm still waiting for that Clover folder. By the way, when you said "high CPU load", I was like: OMG, it's keeping the CPU in 99% load. An under 10% load is by no means a "high" CPU load. However, I have to say it is higher than my desktop CPU, at idle. That's why I told you to upload your Clover folder for further analysis. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arsradu Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 (edited) Guys, do you have sound after sleep in Mojave? I was using Codec Commander for that before. But there are two issues with it: 1. it interferes with AppleALC, in the sense that, with Layout ID 7 for example, I have no sound when Internal Speakers is selected. I do have sound with Line Outs... But it doesn't sound the same. And I'm still not sure why Internal Speakers doesn't work. Somehow, Codec Commander fixed that. 2. even with Codec Commander I still don't have sound after sleep, with Internal Speakers. Interesting fact: With Layout ID 7, as I said, I did have sound, but only when Line Out was selected. Why is this interesting? Because I did have sound after sleep with that option. But why no sound with Internal Speakers? And, when using Layout ID 2 (in order to have some sound with Internal Speakers), why no sound after sleep anymore?

I've now set to MacBook Pro 14,1 and iMac 14,2 is just at the beginning of the clean install. By high cpu load, I meant it goes up to 3.7GHz even it's only by 10% usage by system.

Sent from my MHA-AL00 using Tapatalk I'm thinking you might be missing some CPU settings in your Config. I was talking about Board Serial Number, Serial Number and SmUUID in SMBIOS. The rest can stay. Also, the MLB and ROM in Rt Variables. So, battle plan goes like this: 1. Change your SMBIOS to a LAPTOP SMBIOS (MacBookPro14,3 was an example). You can try that. But I'm not sure it's ok to use an iMac (Desktop) SMBIOS when you have a laptop. 2. See if it makes any difference in terms of CPU load. 3. Remove the serials I mentioned above (if you set any) 4. Upload your Clover folder for analysis. I still don't understand what AppleALC has to do with any of this. But let's see.

Matgen84 Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 @twsps @arsradu Sorry for my intervention. Intel says that this processor can go up to 4GHZ. If it is permanently 3.7GHZ, it may be because of the management of the speed step. I think there is maybe a patch for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, the Clover folder should hopefully bring more light into this, whenever you can upload it. No rush. But, I'm also a bit confused as to how exactly one relates to the other. I mean, I'm using the same kext, and no such issues here. But, obviously, we're using different hardware, different audio codecs (in case that makes any difference) and so on so forth. So...could be a specific issue to your particular laptop. Oor...maybe that particular codec (assuming it really is something related to the AppleALC kext). But as I said, let's see first a different SMBIOS (a laptop one). Let's see how that behaves. After that, let's see a Clover folder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please, remove them and try to do all your fixes from Config. 2. no -lilubetaall boot argument in Boot (for Mojave). 3. DellSMBIOSPatch...in Kernel And Kext Patches. Do you need that? Anyway, not related to the AppleALC issue. Just wondering. Since you said that it doesn't boot if you remove those serials (ONLY THOSE) from SMBIOS....? That's...really weird. But I'm thinking maybe that DellSMBIOSPatch has something to do with it... 4. You don't have any AppleALC or Lilu kexts in Clover/kexts/Other. There might be other things, too. But...I'm just gonna say this: having different kind of patches from different places is not a good idea. I would also suggest generating a new config, adding only the MINIMUM necessary to boot, NO custom SSDT/DSDT, and see if the issue still occurs. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
