hannele2 Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 I can't get the audio to work on this new install. There is a built in sound card on this motherboard. Also - I have HDMI monitor that has audio. However - I'm using headphones straight from the headphone jack from the computer. Will I need special drivers to get sound? Or do I just need to adjust something? I've opened the sound settings in Preferences but I can't see anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwarfy Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 As far as I know, your motherboard got ALC1150 codec. You can use CloverALC, RealtekALC or AppleALC. I suggest CloverALC or AppleALC, as they can be installed the vanilla way. Also one more thing, i'm not sure if this applies to your system configuration or not, but you might have to patch DSDT or change config.plist for HDAS to HDEF patch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hannele2 Posted July 27, 2016 Author Share Posted July 27, 2016 Thank you! I think I'll choose Realtek because I am used to that. So I just find it on the net download and install? I'll do it a bit later tonight... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hannele2 Posted July 27, 2016 Author Share Posted July 27, 2016 Oh ok - following Dwarfy's advice I should of course use simplest way! Trying now... For AppleALC. But I can't find anything to download and install. Only some complex videos, using expressions I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwarfy Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 https://github.com/vit9696/AppleALC/releases use the release version Place the kext in EFI/Clover/Kexts/10.10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hannele2 Posted July 31, 2016 Author Share Posted July 31, 2016 https://github.com/vit9696/AppleALC/releases use the release version Place the kext in EFI/Clover/Kexts/10.10 Thank you ! I'll try that as soon as I solved the issue of how to boot from the hard drive instead of from the USB stick.... Thank for trying to help me the other day. I really appreciate that you had a go - this seems really tricky..... Also I am not quite sure what the actual kext is. Is it the whole folder, or just one on the files?

hannele2 Posted August 4, 2016 Author Share Posted August 4, 2016 Ok I put the Kext in the folder. I can't figure out how to do it in Mac so just did it in Windows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwarfy Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Now you just need to inject audio in clover config.plist. You got ALC 1150 as far as I know, and that needs audio inject 1. But somehow when I helped you it said no audio codec found. Might want to double check with DPCIManager. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hannele2 Posted August 4, 2016 Author Share Posted August 4, 2016 Thanks! I am in config plist configuration, but I can't figure out how to edit it to add it. I don't know what DPCI manager is..... I put audio to Detect in Clover Config Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am still not successful with this! There has been an improvement though. The Realtek drivers are installed. I got help from somebody. Can't remember the nick but I remember the actual name - N. I can now see various audio outputs, but there is no sound from any of them. I think I need to open the Internal Speakers option and indicate that I'm using headphones. But I can't do that - no option. I'm wondering if I'm better off trying Clover's audio or Apple ALC. Where would I be able to find some instructions about how to install it?

He's a good person. Anyhow, I think I told you this on the chat before, you got the "No codec found" issue. You need to research more about it and see what you can do.

Nice to see you too Yes that's right, it was stealsyourpizza who helped me. I actually got past the "No codec found". I now get Input and Output devices. The problem now is that I'm still not getting any sound. I will try to research a bit more on my own. I'll try to learn how to install codecs (i.e. kexts). I know people with my motherboard got it working, so it should be possible.... I think I just figured out how to solve my other issue with screen resolution of my second monitor - old generic. So it's progressing, but a bit slow! I'm getting so much help around here! It's really nice. I love this community. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For CloverALC, you need to install Clover on the Mac drive, in a specific way, then you can just paste over and replace the EFI you got in the EFI partition made by clover on your Mac drive. (You might have done this already). Then modify your config.plist with kext to patch for appleHDA and realtek codec 1150. And add the realtekALC.kext in EFI/Clover/Kexts/10.10.Thereafter, you need to restart your computer and then run the terminal command patch for cloverALC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hannele2 Posted August 13, 2016 Author Share Posted August 13, 2016 Really good explanation, thank you... At the moment my Clover installation is on the leftmost dpartition on this picture. So I need to copy it over straight onto the Mac partitioni? Should I do that while in Mac or is it better to do it from another OS to avoid the files being locked.... ? This is what it looks like on the EFI drive: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I need to copy it over straight onto the Mac Drive? Should I do that while in Mac or is it better to do it from another OS to avoid the files being locked.... ? You need to do this on your Mac side. Install clover on the Mac drive in a specific way, then EFI will be mounted with an EFI folder. Copy your old EFI folder from the USB and replace it with the EFI folder in the EFI partition. ***Update*** Wait, I think I might know why you don't have any audio. Maybe cuz your AppleHDA is not an "untouched" version. You would need to replace your AppleHDA kext with a new one in that case, and install it with kext wizard or something similar, then you would need to rebuild cache.

hannele2 Posted August 13, 2016 Author Share Posted August 13, 2016 Ok! I'll try both but I want to start with your later suggestion because I'm worried about breaking my multiboot setup which is a piece of art.... but breaks easily. Also - I am worried about having to re-do all the settings in Clover. It took ages and I got lots of help. Don't want to start from scratch with that..... Yeah I think I have the default AppleHDA but I am not completely sure - I still have no idea what I'm doing in Mac.... Which AppleHDA version should I replace it with and how do I do it?

Don't worry on that part, I'll give you a clean AppleHDA.kext. Just wait for 20 min. You would have to get kext wizard or something similar to install it though. and then you would need to rebuild cache. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hannele2 Posted August 13, 2016 Author Share Posted August 13, 2016 Great! I'm mucking around with something else while I'm pondering this.... I'll check back in 10..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwarfy Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Here you go. If you're using Kext Wizard to install it, go to the installation section of kext wizard, drag appleHDA.kext to the installation section then Install to S/L/E. Thereafter, go to maintenance section and rebuild cache. Native AppleHDA 10.10.5.zip 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
