Human7900 Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 @Slice Which value of csr-active-config would you reccomend for OpenCore to not lose updates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand your question. SIP enabled (csr=0) you will loose VoodooHDA. SIP disabled (csr=0xFFFF) you will loose updates. But there is also the adjective "PARTIAL" also known to real Apple computers while forgotten by some guide makers. csr-active-config consists of 12 bits each has own meanings. bit 0 - allow unsigned kexts, like VoodooHDA bit 5 - APPLE INTERNAL, no automatic updates. The best value, for my mind, is 0xA85. In Opencore it will be byte swapped data <85 0A> With this value you will have most securities, you will get Software Updates, and all hackintosh kexts will work. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jalavoui Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 (edited) Slice can you add (as advice) chown -R root:wheel /Library/Extensions/VoodooHDA.kext to your howto post if the kext is copied with wrong permissions sysprefs never activates it. btw VoodoHDA works better in ventura than in Big Sur - I'm happy Edited July 12, 2023 by jalavoui 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slice Posted July 12, 2023 Author Share Posted July 12, 2023 OK But when you copied the kext by command sudo cp -R ... it will get correct permissions automatically. So don't use Finder to copy kexts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Blue Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 (edited) Has anybody had success on a Huawei Matebook 16? It has Conexant CX8400 and none of the AppleALC layout-ids work on this laptop. I've just tried VoodooHDA. Headphone and microphone combo jack works flawlessly. The sound is very clear even on max volume BUT the speakers won't work whatsoever. They show up in the prefpane but there's no sound on either of them. I've attached the full getdump below and I would be thankful for any help. @Slice GPIO: 0xc0000008 NumGPIO=8 NumGPO=0 NumGPI=0 GPIWake=1 GPIUnsol=1\ nid 23 0x40f001f0 as 15 seq 0 Other None Unknown N/A External Unknown misc 0 NoPresenceDetect\ nid 24 0x03211040 as 4 seq 0 Headphones Jack 1/8 Left External Black misc 0\ nid 25 0x03a11030 as 3 seq 0 Microphone Jack 1/8 Left External Black misc 0\ nid 26 0x40f001f0 as 15 seq 0 Other None Unknown N/A External Unknown misc 0 NoPresenceDetect\ nid 29 0x91170110 as 1 seq 0 Speaker Fixed Analog Rear Internal Unknown misc 0 NoPresenceDetect\ nid 30 0x40f001f0 as 15 seq 0 Other None Unknown N/A External Unknown misc 0 NoPresenceDetect\ nid 31 0x40f001f0 as 15 seq 0 Other None Unknown N/A External Unknown misc 0 NoPresenceDetect\ nid 33 0x40f001f0 as 15 seq 0 Other None Unknown N/A External Unknown misc 0 NoPresenceDetect\ nid 38 0x40f001f0 as 15 seq 0 Other None Unknown N/A External Unknown misc 0 NoPresenceDetect\ nid 39 0x40f001f0 as 15 seq 0 Other None Unknown N/A External Unknown misc 0 NoPresenceDetect\ getdump-voodoohda.rtf Edited October 28, 2023 by Mr.Blue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are using OpenCore then load disabler before... Before what? VoodooHDA can't be loaded by Opencore. It must be in LE. IOPCIPrimaryMatch is also a valid way. As well as a way IONameMatch=HDAS which excluded the conflict and will not attach VoodooHDA to HDMI which is controlled by AppleGFXHDA.kext in the case of Radeon or Intel graphics. @Slice How do to IONameMatch=HDAS in VoodooHDA's Info.plist? <key>IONameMatch</key> <array> <string>HDAS</string> </array> Or <key>IONameMatch</key> <string>HDAS</string> Edited December 6, 2023 by LockDown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oSxFr33k Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Is there a newer version of Preference Pane? I installed v289 but don’t see it in System Settings like it’s hidden some where. I know it’s installed because when I went to re-install, it asks me if I want to overwrite. I am in Sonoma 14,3,1. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I have the old VoodooHDA.prefPane and it works in Sonoma 14.4.1. There may be a difference that I installed Sonoma over Ventura and so some settings or something else was imported from there. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oSxFr33k Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 (edited) I have to find the older version and try it. The scenario you described where you upgraded to Sonoma from Ventura is exactly what I did and version 2.89 is in system settings but a clean install of Sonoma hides it somewhere. Is there a way to launch it other than from visually launching it from system settings maybe command line? Edited: After a couple of reboots and reinstall attempts, maybe while System Settings was open, not sure exactly if that was the reason why, but it did finally install in the System Settings, I could see it install at the bottom of the window, like magic. I wish I could re-produce the exact steps to be of any use to someone else. Oh wait maybe this time instead of double clicking on the file to install I just right clicked then open instead that could be why.
