pure.wisdom Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 @pure.wisdom With your help, I got Apple Hardware Video Acceleration working on aw13r3. As for aw15, it did not work despite passing VDADecoderChecker test, I think is because the Intel IGPU was not turn on properly (G-SYNC feature most likely ). I will try manual IGPU injection later when I know how. I am grateful to you for your help, never learned so much before in such a short time. Thanks You ! install shiki and add boot flag shikigva=60 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rongu Posted December 22, 2017 Author Share Posted December 22, 2017 install shiki and add boot flag shikigva=60 Hmm I did that, aw15r3 will show Hardware Video Acceleration = Supported, but it will not work when decoding video at least in iTunes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pure.wisdom Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Is your HDMI audio working (via intel or nvidia)? I don't have external monitor, I will try it next time. I see your laptop still depend on Intel igpu in VDADecoderChecker's report. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrw0380 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 You should disable NVDA due your laptop uses optimus Unfortunately, our laptop HDMI port is connected to the Nvidia card so disabling it cuts us off to use that feature. As @igeeek mentioned, is there anything we can do to fix since we can't disable iGPU in BIOS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foskvs Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 You can disable it through Acpi. If you see "Nvidia Chip Model" in System Profiler, it means that you have an Optimus card (as mentioned above). With such gpus, VBIOS is located into the bios => problems with the initializing of the card (like: gioscreenlockstate, no vram detected,...). OT: To @xela and @pure.wisdom: i'm a big fan of this thread. Thank you for sharing you experience with this Alienware. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rongu Posted January 10, 2018 Author Share Posted January 10, 2018 remove FakePCIID_XHCIMux.kext and rename B0D4 to HDAU I think B0D4 to HDAU is not going to help with HDMI audio. As I understand in my case (Alienware 2017 Kaby Lake series), HDMI audio is tie to Nvidia GPU, verified in windows 10 and HDMI/Mini Display port are direct physical port of Nvidia GPU . Please correct me if I am wrong. Thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foskvs Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 To have the definitive answer, you can download DPCIManager and take a screenshot at Status and PCI List pages.

rongu Posted January 10, 2018 Author Share Posted January 10, 2018 HDMI auido is managed by Intel Thanks ! one question, for Alienware 15 R3 G-Sync model where the video output (LCD Panel/HDMI/Mini Display Ports) are physically connected to the output of the discrete Nvidia GPU, bypassing the Intel GPU totally will have no hope using HDMI audio, correct ? To have the definitive answer, you can download DPCIManager and take a screenshot at Status and PCI List pages. You can find DPCIManager by clicking the link in my signature (or on the web). Attached are the snapshots of DPCIManager output from aw15GS. I will upload aw13 series when is offline. Thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foskvs Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 On that laptop, there's no Nvidia HDMI Audio device => HDAU is managed by IGPU. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
