So it's 15. DSDT injection prevails over Clover's injection. You should check what System Report says in Audio panel.

 

You should see Identifiant audio : 15 instead of Identifiant audio : 16

 

Best is not use Clover's injection at all when something is defined in DSDT IMHO…

[MacPeet]

not good

 

Delete inject in Clover's config (empty field)

Uncheck Fix_HDA in Clover's config

 

Only use the inject in the DSDT.

 

LayoutID 15 is hex 0F

                           "layout-id", 
                            Buffer (0x04)
                            {
                                0x0F, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00
                            },

LayoutID 16 is Hex 10

 

                           "layout-id", 
                            Buffer (0x04)
                            {
                                0x10, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00
                            },

try this

Ok good now its Show Internal Speaker and My Bluthoot also is there   

Thank you MacPeet

 

 

 

 

 

 

[MacPeet]

Autodetect headphone also works? Please connect HP to the front connector!

[chris1111]

Autodetect headphone also works? Please connect HP to the front connector!

Yes  Headphones in French is Écouteurs 

Works

 

 

But Kernel Panic 10.12.6 I need change the Lilu kext 

no KP in BETA 7

[MacPeet]

Perfect 

 

   Thank you for your work.

 

I will add new codec layoutID 16 in the next release AppleALC.

 

KP:

Change to Lilu Release 1.1.6

This is compatible

[chris1111]

Yes Lilu Release 1.1.6

works 10.12.6 no Issue 

Only one thing, I Lost menue in the top bar 

 

After change

 

Before change

 

[MacPeet]

After changing from Lilu or after changing to layoutID 16?

 

 

Maybe it's better later with the next release.

After change Layout 

Thats not really important 

[MacPeet]

Ok, I've tried with 780. Here is the problem is not.

 

The current SourceCode of AppleALC and Lilu are perhaps not quite finished yet. Let's wait for the release's.

Thanks

Great work anyway

[MacPeet]

layoutID 16 is added in the next Release 1.1.4 for Optiplex790/990

[Quinzie XO]

No one ? For real ?

[lucsansag]

I'm trying to install Sierra in an Optiplex 755 with a Xeon X3363, 8 GB of RAM, GeForce 210, BIOS version A21 (didn't work with A22 either).

 

I'm getting kernel panic after NVDAStartup, if I boot in Safe Mode I get: "devfs_kernel_mount kernel_mount failed 2, process 1 exec of /sbin/launchd failed, errno 2"

 

Any ideas?

[polyzargone]

I have managed to install Sierra on to my Optiplex 790 Ultra Small factor.

I have even managed to get proper power management working (I think),

Now for DSDT edits, which fixes are needed ?

What else do you need to fix?

 

Graphics works perfect but detected as "HD5000"

It's just cosmetic but you can fix that by installing WhateverGreen.kext.

Make sure you're using the correct files : config.plist_755.zip & DSDT.aml_755_for_other_graphics_cards.zip

 

Also, it's best to use the latest Bios version IMO.

[El Capitan]

layoutID 16 is added in the next Release 1.1.4 for Optiplex790/990

 

 @MacPeet

 

Is the rear input and front (microphone) input working with (autoswitch) layoutID 16/0x10 when using Optiplex790/990?

 

I developed the AppleALC for the Dell Precision T1600 Workstation. I'm certain that the  ALC269VB High Definition Audio Driver is the same for the  Precision T1600 and OptiPlex 790/990. The layoutID for Dell Precision T1600 Workstation is 11/0x0B: would you try this value on your Optiplex790/990.

 

I've tried layoutID 15/0x0F on my Dell Precision T1600 Workstation and it functions correctly. LayoutID 16/0x10 works, but the output volume is low and the front microphone does not function.

 

I can also confirm that the Optiplex 780 and the HD5450 functions correctly (with video acceleration) on  macOS High Sierra beta 7: when video rollback is used.

[MacPeet]

No, the Mic's are not in SwitschMode. Not so important with the mic's. Many users work with Mic from the webcam.

 

I can not tell if Precision and Optiplex are the same.

I have no Precision, no Optiplex790 or 990. I myself can not test.

Maybe chris1111 can try.

 

Often, the power of the Mic connectors is too weak. Often, only pre-amplified microphones work.

 

Yes, Optiplex780 with HD5450 and Roolback works very well with High Sierra.

Unfortunately WhateverGreen.kext does not help.

 

try yourself, maybe you can make it even better

Resources.zip

 

try this config for Switch Mic´s

[El Capitan]

Thank you MacPeet!

 

I tried the config that you suggested [Pinconfigs.kext info.plist Optiplex790/990 Version 2]:

 

<01B71C20 01B71D40 01B71E11 01B71F90 01871C30 01871D90 01871EA1 01871F90 01971C40 01971D90 01971E81 01971F01 02171C50 02171D40 02171E21 02171F02>

 

I am pleased to announce that everything functions correctly. Headphone switching works; rear input and output works - tested by doing a looped recording, the rear input only accepts pre-amplified sources. Front microphone input (and monitoring) works.

I'm using these indeed.I keep getting the "NVDAStartup: Official" line even when using nv_disable=1

[polyzargone]

@lucsansag

 

If I remember correctly, it's normal to see "NVDAStartup: Official" even when using nv_disable=1. You should see something like "NVDAStartup: disable with boot-arg nv_disable" a few lines after .

 

It's probably something else.

Please, don't quote the full post #1 .

 

As for High Sierra, there's no specific thread for it but I see you're using a 5450 HD so you'll need to rollback some kexts (see here) otherwise it won't work at all. Consequently, you'll need an already installed OS X/macOS to do this. Unless you change your GPU.

 

That being said, this guide should work the same for High Sierra (if you stick to HFS+ instead of APFS which needs some extra steps).
