Dear Wern Apfel, thank you again for the new answer. I did what you said: The result is in the screenshot as attachment. This time the Switcher worked to the point, where I could switch between "Headphones", "Loudspeakers" and "Fake Surround". But whatever I clicked, I only got blurred and faint music from 2 of the 5 loudspeakers. No sound via headphones neither front nor back. The menu showed two further items: "Microphone front" and "Microphone back". But a click did not make a selection of one of the two despite a connected microphone. So for the meantime I had a new intermediate possibility: I got my new LG monitor yesterday with Bluetooth and a quite good sound. See the picture... But nevertheless I am eager to get that internal sound working. So appreciate more of your input... Thank you so much! Gichin Update: After a reboot it changed a lot: Now I got clear sound from 2 of 5 speakers (+"ump!" from the subwoofer) but with some background noise like jingle bells. I have the speakers with the Switcher switched to "headphones". All other options are switching off the sound of the speakers, but no sound from the headphones in the front-plug in. The option "loudspeakers" switches to the headphones in the back (but very faint sound) Edited August 29, 2018 by madicineman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don´t know if this is important: My super-old previous monitor was connected with HDMI, but HDMI-audio never worked. The new monitor has all kinds of connectivity, but due to shortness of the inclosed cables (USB-C, HDMI) I have chosen the Display-port to connect the monitor to the "iHac". Music is transferred to the monitor via Bluetooth. Because I am a newbe in Hackintosh I am still reluctant to use another dsdt, because I still do not know, how to replace the current one and to switch back in case the new one freezes the system... I hope you can understand this. It would be some sort of last resort for me to try a dsdt. Can you teach me to change the Layout-id´s instead? Thank you so much again!

Gichin Gichin.ioreg.txt HDMI/DP probably will not work because you're using a modified AppleHDA.kext, so restore it. The layout-id can also be changed via the config.plist. Use CloverConfigurator and change the value as in the following picture. If nothing happens, you also use an SSDT that sets the layout-id. Regarding the DSDT, use an updated EFI mounter or CloverConfigurator to mount the EFI partition and add the provided DSDT you have previously renamed to the patched folder, restart and select the renamed DSDT via clover menu if the provided DSDT does not work do a restart and clover will use the old DSDT again. For 5.1 you have to make an aggregate device with the Audio-MIDI-Setup tool, see picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I got rid of a lot of messed up stuff I installed with the postinstallation tool which must not be named. Thanks for that hint! I some sort of fixed the AppleHDA.kext by deleting old ALC.kexts who somehow were installed by me in former trials at the beginning of my hackintosh journey. With that the sound was crystal clear. Than I did extensive testing. Before I use the MIDI Setup tool I want to share my findings. It might of help for others: Edited September 1, 2018 by madicineman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For 5.1 you have to make an aggregate device with the Audio-MIDI-Setup tool, see picture. Well my Audio-MIDI Setup tool looked a lot different from yours. It might be, that the old analoge DTT 2200 5.1 Surround is not detected as your system. But I finally succeeded with some kind of "Fake 5.1-Surround". Here is what I did: From my chart I looked for a clover configuration for "Audio inject", where all channels are optional without the CA0132Switcher, because I looked for a solution which is there automatically after starting the system. This layout-id (=inject) is "4". After reboot I opened "Audio-Midi". There I created a "Device with several outputs" and clicked all "Lines out". In "Configure speakers" I have chosen "Surround 2.0" (this is the maximum of my choices). After that all 6 speakers of the old 5.1 system are getting sound. The rest is finetuning with the DTT 2200 itself. I am pretty sure, it is Fake-Surround only, but I am happy. Big thanks to you, Wern Apfel. Without you I would not be able to get where I am now.

Thanks! Gichin Thanks for testing. After a quick look there is something wrong, but I'll take a closer look later. The switcher is designed to work with layout-id 4 while Line-Out I is selected. Fake Surround works the same way as the Multi-Output device, but you can also switch to the headphones. Unfortunately, I've lost the source code but rebuild it again and both versions have some issues. If you want to do more testing, you can try the CA0132Tool from thee first post where you have settings for different layout-ids. There are no resources for layout-id 7 and 8. The AppleALC ressources also need some updates. I will give you an update later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that does not work, drag the app to the login items. I don't have 5.1 speakers and I'm not sure how it behaves when all jacks are connected. I tested the outputs with two headphones while sitting on the floor, that's the reason why I build the CA0132tool with that big buttons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First time fiddeling with Clover Shell for me today... Just installed your kext. No distorted music so far in any of the MacOSX-setting within layout id 4. Can you do that for layout id 9 for me? Because only in "9" I got all 6 speakers working with your Switcher (but only after unplugging headphones from the rear). Should experiment with that? At the other hand I am quite happy with my setting with Audio-MIDI to a "Device with several outputs"... Thank you again for your help! I wish you a nice new week!

You're probably use the switcher from the first post, but there's a newer version I'll attach it. The attached switcher is from January but should work with layout-id 4. Finally I rebuild the deleted code and will be uploading an new version soon. You can also try the appended AppleALC with newly added layout-id 7, where you have discrete 6 channels, unfortunately without volume control ATM. Use the Audio-MIDI tool for 6 channel format.

madicineman Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 And I tried with the new AppleALC.kext ID 9: "FakeSurround" of the Switcher was shown as an option, but when I clicked it, it switched to "Speakers". I was able to switch to "Headphones", but if plugged in the front there was unbearable loud music with now possibility to tune it down. If I plugged the headphones in the back, there was a continous peep. The reset tool did not change trhat. But I was able to switch with the Apple Audio control to "Device with several outputs" and got Surround 5.1 (without Software Volume control). Fortunately the DTT 2200 has a hardware volume control. So I am back to "normal" in ID 9 instead of ID 4. Just tell me if I can try something... Thanks again for your effort! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said that you copied the AppleALC.kext to "EFI=>Clover=>kexts=>10.13" do not you already have a kext in the EFI=>Clover=>kexts=>Other folder? If not, your codec works differently or you do something else. With layout 4 you see Internal Speakers and the first device is selected, as in the screenshot?
