José A. Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Hi. With God's help, using the Pandora's Box tool, I was able to install a decently working El Capitan system on my existing hardware. The system works just fine. The only thing not working is the audio and I'm wondering if someone out there can help. My hardware uses the Realtek ALC269Q High Definition Audio Codec. Would someone have some idea how I can make the audio work in this El Capitan system? I'm using the Enoch bootloader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nawcom Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 It seems people use VoodooHDA for ALC269Q as no one has patched AppleHDA for it. Give it a try: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/314406-voodoohda-289/ Also install AppleHDADisabler.kext - it will prevent vanilla AppleHDA.kext from loading and causing a kp: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/216750-applehda-disabler-kext/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
José A. Posted December 29, 2016 Author Share Posted December 29, 2016 Thanks for replying. I tried installing both kexts using Pandora's Box. First I installed the AppleHDADisabler.kext in /System/Library/Extensions and then in /Extra/Extensions. I also installed the VoodooHDA.kext in /System/Library/Extensions and then in /Library/Extensions. When I installed the kexts, I got errors such as the one in the included screenshot. I don't know if these errors are the cause, but after installing the kexts and rebooting, audio still does not work. This is not very important for what I do on this system; I just wanted everything to work so if I can't get it to work it's okay. My boot options (in the /Extra/org.chameleon.Boot.plist file) are: -v -f darkwake=0 nv_disable=1 dart=0 kext-dev-mode=1 Maybe the system is not recognizing the kexts?

José A. Posted January 5, 2017 Author Share Posted January 5, 2017 So I used a kext utility called "Kext Utility" to install both kexts to /System/Library/Extensions/ and the audio is working just fine on this system. Thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
