@Max.1974 Great job, confirmed also by @Alpha22 In Sonoma and newer works fine too. It's difficult for me to check the differences, can you show me the changes made by you to the project? I want to understand the code, learning new things. Thanks.

Thanks my friend, im send two project modes for you (with and without) glass, I hope you enjoy it Nice Congrats!! All done

@Max.1974 it works

@Max.1974 Thank you! Sure I’ll review it. I don’t have Ventura. Not being glass is not important, only a few commented / uncommented lines.

Now with Glass working smooth https://www.mediafire.com/file/7am2yqvzman67vc/About+This+Hack-Glass-Ventura.dmg/file App Project with Glass + Notes on MD file "Claude" https://www.mediafire.com/file/nf5cxxtpjtw9h6b/About-This-Hack-Glass-Ventura-Project-Notes.zip/file

Hi my friends, thanks for link. tested the app from the link above, but it didn't work on Ventura. I made a few changes using Copilot Pro with VS Code, and it worked. Here's the project link. I hope it helps. It's not Glass, but you can ask VS Code to make the changes for you. I used Claude 4.6. 😉 https://www.mediafire.com/file/ttk0v30loo8o7c5/About-This-Hack-teste-hd-ventura-Project.zip/file With Changes:

Thanks.

Making VoodooHDA with AI. Prehistory. First version was made by Fassl on the base of FreeBSD sources. It was last version 0.2.2. Than we, Slice and AutumnRain, began own project based on Fassl's project and made repository on sourceforge.net. We begin from version 0.2.3 and than exclude zero => 2.3.1. Many users on forums made his contributions into the project. Zenith432 made the most important contribution. Version 2.8. I was left alone and moved the project on GitHub. After some improvements the version became 3.0.5 Traditional. New era with AI. New developer, rdmitry0911 with a help of Claude AI decided to remake VoodooHDA so that it works with tuning like AppleALC. Users should choose codec-id and ths is the whole tuning. Remind that traditional version make autotuning with a user possibility to change something. It was a complex method what to do to make all outputs and all inputs working as you want. Version 3.1.2. Some new updates 3.1.x-3.2.x expose a bug: Headphone was not working... Tens questions to AI and no result. We decided to revert to 3.1.2. There was a AI fault #1. Than I ask him to make AMD HDMI audio working as never before. Version begins from 3.3.0 and success! 3.3.4 works for many users. But not for all. In my case AMD RX570 + TV Samsung I have bad sound. Two months asking Claude and than Qwen and Deepseek didn't lead to result. This is a fault #2. In the version 3.3.5 we found new bug. In Russian ДНД. It means after switching LineOut->HeadPhone->LineOut sound was escaped at all. This is a fault #3. AI can't explain why version 3.3.5 has this bug while 3.0.5 no. I resolved this bug by rolling back again and begin new version based on version 3.3.3 which has no such bug. I wanted to make autodetect of connected TV. The work is not finished yet because the AI can't do this. This is the fault #4. But I hope to make it by myself. I will not discuss MaLdOn's version 4.x because it is not my work.

@miliuco Hello, my dear friend. I couldn’t download it from this site or WeTransfer. If you could upload it somewhere more accessible that doesn’t require a login, such as MediaFire, I’d appreciate it, brother. I will check your project too my friend, thanks!!

@Alpha22 Try this: https://we.tl/t-uSzLCze6nuSPviM9

@MakAsrock I don't know anything about the T2 project - just pointing out its existence to add to the body of work on the subject. I'm sure the T2 project will have its growing pains. Hopefully you submitted an Issue to the author first. Asking him to remove the statement sounds like a reasonable approach before escalating to Github admin.

Nice man, thanks

I can’t download it

@Cyberdevs https://github.com/perez987/Xattr-remove/releases/tag/1.6.5 Updater system not implemented yet.

@Alpha22 @Max.1974 Users having macOS Ventura. Please test this release, startup disk info collection has been changed, tell me if this info is well displayed in Ventura. Thanks! https://github.com/perez987/About-This-Hack-glass/tree/main/Test-startup-disk

@Cyberdevs Good idea. I’ll implement it.

I didn't read the read me but since there was no crash log i figured it should be by design. IMHO you can add the option in settings but adding and extra line after the task is done should suffice like the: "the success message and the app will close automatically in 5 seconds" because even if I didn't click ok on the success message it closed the app which can be confusing.

@Cyberdevs Yes, it's by design. I thought that once the app has finished its task, closing it automatically saves the user from having to close it manually. For convenience. If the alert shows errors, the app keeps the window opened. Let me know if you find the option to keep it open more useful, perhaps by adding a setting to choose between the two modes. It's said in the README: "The app automatically quits 5 seconds after displaying a success alert"

@miliuco nice app man, thanks. I noticed the quits once its done is that by design or is it crashing silently?

@Alpha22 @Max Sonoma works fine. System disk tab is well displayed in Ventura?

I have seen and try this but it doesn't work. In addition, the readme contains an unfounded lie about my OCLP-Plus, which allegedly leaves snapshots and broken SIP after reverting the root patches. 🤬 I don't like it when my work is unfairly criticized. 😡 A complaint against user Albert Müller was sent to the GitHub administration. I hope they figure out what to do about it! 🙏 Starting Patch Process Determining Required Patch set for Darwin 25 Verifying whether Root Patching possible Patcher is capable of patching Mounted Universal-Binaries.dmg Running sanity checks before patching Running patches for MacPro7,1 Running Preflight Checks before patching An internal error occurred while running the Root Patcher: Traceback (most recent call last): File "opencore_legacy_patcher/wx_gui/gui_sys_patch_start.py", line 339, in _start_root_patching File "opencore_legacy_patcher/sys_patch/sys_patch.py", line 583, in start_patch File "opencore_legacy_patcher/sys_patch/sys_patch.py", line 346, in _patch_root_vol File "opencore_legacy_patcher/sys_patch/sys_patch.py", line 374, in _execute_patchset File "opencore_legacy_patcher/sys_patch/sys_patch.py", line 520, in _preflight_checks Exception: Failed to find /var/folders/s1/mlqq1gqs01qgx9qq8nwvjzkr0000gn/T/tmpglq4invh/payloads/Universal-Binaries/26.0 Beta 1/System/Library/Extensions/AppleHDA.kext

@Alpha22 Thanks, the issue seems to be focused on Ventura. I'll wait for @Max.1974 testing the Xcode project in Ventura, currently I don't have Ventura but in the meantime I can try Sonoma.
