Gigamaxx Posted October 12, 2017 Author Share Posted October 12, 2017 What audio drivers should I use for my Asus Crosshair VI hero? Right now I'm using VoodooHDA and it is crackling. You need to match your bios CPU frequency setting, with clover boot arg “busratio=xx”. If your CPU frequency setting in bios is 3.2 GHZ, or 3200MHz, then set clover busratio=32. For 3.0GHz use busratio=30, etc... if they don’t match audio cuts in and out, gets choppy or doesn’t work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ITAngel Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 It was fun having MacOS on Ryzen 1700 but now I am on Threadripper. lol So I guess, I will see if this will ever get developed to run it on that platform. =P Thanks for all your help to everyone and specially to Gigamaxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gigamaxx Posted October 12, 2017 Author Share Posted October 12, 2017 How do I do that? what should my busratio= if my cpu is running at 3603mhz Use clover boot screen menu, use cursor arrows to navigate to “options” then go to boot arg. Set busratio=36, then hit enter and scroll to audio and set afterglowpowerstates. If it’s works you can set it permanently using clover configurator app. Google Clover Configurator app by Mackie software?Oh really? I may need to look around and start testing to see.

neil43 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 I am fairly happy with High Sierra on my Ryzen 7 1700X - GA AB350N - GTX 960 ITX. GPU performance is still low, HWMonitor is still mostly non-op and I do not have Bluetooth working (yet). Built this clone using the kernel found in the AMD developer's section: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/325514-amd-high-sierra-kernel-release-and-testing/ The system is stable and very useable. neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you run DPCIManager it will tell you what driver is recommended. Humm.. well the DPCIManager while usually helpful, in this case not so much; The Gigabyte user's manual says that the AB350N GAMING WiFi has Realtek ALC1220 codec, you can see that it is not identified by DPCIManger. And I do agree at times it does take trying every version of VoodooHDA to identify the best one for a system. And at times you might even have to resort to USB audio if you are on a very new tech motherboard. Also, on many systems, you need to disable the Apple HDA kext for VoodooHDA to load correctly. With your audio problem, do you have the issue on both front and rear ports? Is it the same with head pones? Is your system mounted in a case? Does USB audio work well? neil 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gigamaxx Posted October 13, 2017 Author Share Posted October 13, 2017 For my Gigabyte AX370 gaming 5k he Audio is the same ALC1220, but the fixes are for Intel and their boards. I’ve tried the AppleALC fix, the CloverHDMIAudio commands etc, and the voodoo is the only one that seems to work. Unfortunately vCard HDMI does not work it shows up as 4-6 options but does not function. Most of these other fixes are for z200, z170 boards and they don’t align with the x370, 350 boards. The Sabrient USB dongle (Silver) works OOB and is relatively inexpensive for an audio fix. @Neil43. Try PCI tab and search out the main board audio code.

Using the DPCIManager.app I did not find any leads to an audio solution in the PCI List or in the Misc section. I am happy with the VoodooHDA as I have audio out to my sound system and also have HDMI audio for my video playback. Again, I would like to learn of a solution for Bluetooth from my Apple BCM94360CS2 WiFi/BT module. The WiFi section of the module works well. This would be nice to have but not needed for workstation use. And the thing that would really make my day would be to luck on a solution to get full function on the HWMonitor.app or an equivalent app. The Intel Power Gadget is useless on the AMD CPU.

fizzicola Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Hello everyone, First post in this thread. I have tried to read through and determine what the GPU issues are with current-gen Nvidia cards. I am still uncertain where the issue is, and would love more clarity so I can understand what areas still need to catch up for optimum performance. Is it because OSX does not have native drivers for the 10X0 line yet? Is it because there are issues with the Ryzen kernel that need more programming? Or is it another issue? Is there any potential timeline or idea of when issues will be resolved, or is it a wait-and-see? I would love to make the jump, and keep debating whether I stick with Ryzen (which I would absolutely love for audio/video work and rendering) or just buy a 7700k and be done with it. There are a few Mac-only programs that I can't keep missing out on, and I would prefer to skip virtualization within Windows. I also love Apple's audio API which runs circles around Windows' options.

Do you have CPU temps working on your High Sierra Ryzen system? If yes, can you provide some guidance to install? Thank you, neil This is AMD FX. They are all the same. Once you figure out the sensor chip. See the installation picture in the middle https://sourceforge.net/projects/hwsensors3.hwsensors.p/. ACPI is checked. If it does not work, you need to pick the correct LPC chip type. All sensors connect to it via i2c bus. When you install HWSensor3, you need to pick AMD CPU and the sensor chip. The the app shows you the info. What is your mother board? This one https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-AB350N-Gaming-WIFI-rev-10#sp ? See the I/O controller, iTE, we have the same chip. Pick ite for the LPC chip and AMD CPU/GPU. That should work. OK so there is no USB to connect? My pcie adapter needs a usb connection for bluetooth. Super IO ? Is this the serial port "super IO" in bios? It could be the same chip. Edited October 14, 2017 by ydeng 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
