  • Integrated Intel HD4600 GPU (PCI ven id 0x8086, dev id 0x0416)
  • Killer NIC 1202 802.11n WiFi, Bluetooth 4.0

  • Sound: Codec ALC 3661 - 1 x Audio microphone port; 1 x headphones/microphone combo port; 1 x headphone/speaker port
  • Slots One half mini-card slot; 2 x full mini-card slots

I managed to get Sierra 10.12 Installed successfully with Clover (Dual Boot with Windows 10 on the same SSD 240GB) and the following hardware is working:

 

  • Nvidia GTX765 working with webDrivers. Initially i was able to use only Intel HD Graphics with no issue... but after disabling Intel HD Card on Windows... Sierra started to recognize the dedicated card GTX765... so i needed to install webDrivers and modify boot flags to get it working (Replacing nv_disable=1 for nvda_drv=1).
  • Ethernet is working well with Killer E2200 Kext available on internet.
  • Wifi integrated card is not supported, so i get a D-link USB wireless and installed "RT2870USBWirelessDriver.kext".

Not Working:

  • SOUND... everything is almost perfect for me... but not having sound is really boring...
  • Bluetooth is recognized, but i can't find any device =/... 

I've searched ALL web but no luck... i didn't found any success on this codec =(...

 

Anyone can help me to find a way of getting Sound!? 

 

I will attach some screenshoots and more information... in a couple hours...

 

Thanks!!!
