Here is a roughly comprehensive summary of the three trials I have tested on Optiplex 755:

 

Trial 1: From your Sierra guide front page around March of 2018, based on AppleALC 1.0.18 from December 28, 2016:

Audio output worked, but I am unsure if the automatic headphone switching worked. Inputs may have worked, but after the 2018 security updates, the computer kernel panicked at boot, so I am unable to go back and test again easily.

Trial 2: From your High Sierra guide front page around April of 2018, based on AppleALC 1.2.3 from February 9, 2018:

Audio output worked perfectly, and headphones auto switched correctly. Input had one line-in option, which did not work using the front microphone port. This worked fine through at least security update 2018-002 on 10.12.6.

Trial 3: From your post on this thread on July 18, 2018, based on AppleALC 1.3.0 from July 18, 2018:

Audio output worked perfectly with headphones auto switching correctly. The input now had two line-in options, neither of which worked with a microphone. This works fine at least through security update 2018-004 on 10.12.6.

 

Let me know if you want checksums or plist excerpts. As far as I know, this latest trial is the best so far. I don't know if I tested the input on the first trial, or if it worked. I could always go back and test it on a fresh older installation, if that is really necessary.

 

Thanks!

Hey guys I'm new to hackintosh and I need some help...

My setup:

Dell Optiplex 790

i5 2500 not 2005k

Radeon RX 560 4gb

20gb of RAM

I followed every step from this guide but I cant seem to get to the installation screen.

I boot clover just fine and I get the apple logo and loading bar but I only get to half and then my computer reboots...

I see this installation guide is for the beta versions of high sierra the installer version i have is 10.13.6, is that what could be causing the installation to fail?

Any suggestions?

Try 

<key>Inject</key>
        <dict>
            <key>ATI</key>
            <true/>

You need also in kext/Other/WhateverGreen.kext

and Lilu.kext

But not sure I think this card need PSU minimum 400 Watt

This version was about changes in the external inputs.
Can you give a report on the 755?


LineOut works on both, LineIn doesn't but they never seemed to work for me

Hi pepto nice to see you

You have all of the latest Installer Update with the installinstallmacos.py script

 

You only hate to open terminal

 sudo /path to/installinstallmacos.py

or sudo press space bar and drop the script to the terminal window

follow by ENTER

Thank you for this awesome guide! :)

 

Sleep and sound seem to be the only things not working. I have AppleALC.kext and injected Audio 11 but still no sound.

 

Can someone take a look at my attached RunMe (IOreg) files below and let me know what I missed?

 

Send me iMac.at.net.zip
 

SPECS:

Dell 780 Mini Tower

Nvidia FX580 Video Card

Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400 CPU
