I don't use voodoohda, only AppleALC.

 

Also, I disabled AppleALC and use Voodoohda for dump. Files attached

VoodooHDAGetdump.txt.zip

AudioCodecID.txt.zip

 

Mat, I don't think using VoodooHDA has anything to do with it. :)) I think Slice only wanted something he's familiar with, for debugging.

 

Point is, I'm also using AppleALC, and I've got no issues playing that sound. Also, I don't know if you've noticed, but we're actually using the same codec (ALC892). So...if it doesn't work for you, it has to be something specific to your setup.

 

Let's try something.

 

1. Download and install the attached version of Clover. It's the latest one.

 

2. Go into Options -> Startup Sound and make sure you set your volume first (60% I found to be the perfect volume for the sound to be audible and also non-intrusive). For 60% volume, the UI should say 0060. For 70% 0070 and so on so forth.

 

3. Make sure you've got the speakers connected to the Green port on the back of your computer (the one on the motherboard, not the one on the front panel).

 

4. Just for testing, select the first Realtek ALC892_LineOut

5. Select Return

6. When you're back at Clover's boot drive selection screen, navigate until you see Restart Computer, select it, and let it restart.

 

If you configured everything right, you should have sound.

 

My guess is that, in your case, you simply forgot to set the volume (your screenshot shows 0000).  So, even if the output device is correct, the volume is too low to hear anything.

Thanks for your help :)

 

Clover don't keep all startup sound output settings on my system: only volume is valide after restart, not the first Realtek ALC892_LineOut selected (See image before and below restart). There is always a issue with F7 key?

Yep, as you can see in my previous post, there seems to be an issue reading that setting once set. But it shouldn’t affect its functionality. And also, F7 doesn’t do anything for me either.

But is the sound playing if you select volume and Realtek option, then Return, then Restart? Cause that’s the most important part.

Both possible.

Well, your Realtek codec is not different from many others and configs are good.

You have

First group

 nid 20 0x01014010 as  1 seq  0 Line-out      Jack  1/8     Rear    External Green   misc 0
 nid 21 0x01011012 as  1 seq  2 Line-out      Jack  1/8     Rear    External Black   misc 0
 nid 22 0x01016011 as  1 seq  1 Line-out      Jack  1/8     Rear    External Orange  misc 0
 nid 23 0x01012014 as  1 seq  4 Line-out      Jack  1/8     Rear    External Grey    misc 0
There is first output Rear Green

 

Second group

 nid 27 0x02214c20 as  2 seq  0 Headphones    Jack  1/8     Front   External Green   misc 6

It is headphone jack at Front Green

 

Third group

nid 30 0x01456130 as  3 seq  0 SPDIF-out     Jack  Optic   Rear    External Orange  misc 0 NoPresenceDetect

 also you have HDMI output from Nvidia card.

 

Which one are you expected to use for startup sound?

 

I use this one: nid 20 0x01014010 as  1 seq  0 Line-out      Jack  1/8     Rear    External Green   misc 0. After restart, Clover don't keep startup sound output settings on my system, except volume level.

I select volume and Realtek option, then I restart: there is no sound because Realtek is deselected!!! Startup option sound selects automatically Nvidia HDMI :cry:

Mat, the selection issue is a different issue. default_smile.png believe me. It shows HDMI as selected (first option in the list) for me, too, even after selecting Realtek. Still, the sound itself works properly. And it’s NOT coming from HDMI. 

So, the selection problem is just a visual issue. It shouldn’t affect the actual functionality.

 

What if you select the other options from the Realtek list? Does any of them work?

 

Again, not talking about being showed as selected in that menu. Most likely, they won’t be. Just if the actual sound is heard after selecting them and restarting.

I believe you my friend :) the actual sound is not heard after selecting them and restarting. Strange.

I can only test sound correctly with bootchimecfg.efi.

Awesome, Audio via r4857 is working fine on my mach with ALC269-VB through Output Speaker or Headphone.

It seems a good time for updating all my uploaded Themes on repo with sound*.wav included #LoL (if only it supports *.ogg with smaller size, good quality but.. #NVM, 44100Hz with 1 Channel (Mono) is small enough for WAV, I think.

 

#Question: Any simpler way knowing Native NVRAM is functional? Yeah, on my case CloverThemeManager gives me info about it; not sure though.. NVRAM vars are also saved & loaded upon booting.

I choose 5. Line out. But after restart, no sound again.

 

Hmm... Mat, your sound.wav seems to be 22.3 kHz instead of 44.1 kHz. Not sure that would make a difference....but I'm trying to take them one by one and see where does it fail. Also, make sure you have the latest Clover installed. And update AudioDxe upon installation, just in case there could be something in that that could create issues.

Also, I'd say...try to clear NVRAM (F11 on Clover boot selection screen), then try to set everything once again.

 

Could you, please, try the attached sound.wav instead?

 

Your setup looks ok... And if it works from Shell with option 5, that should also be the choice for Clover Startup Sound UI.

Could be.. On my tests; 8000, 44100 (Hz) are working.. while 11025, 22050 are not.

(Not really sure with 48000Hz, my issue with this freq is damn big *.wav size #LoL)

Well, both 44100 and 8000 are set to work. They're supposed to work. Other values...not sure. I honestly haven't tried that. But better try to work with files that are supposed to work, to minimise the points of failure. But if you did try them, then, as you said, that could be why it doesn't work for him... Only one way to find out. :D

me too. but 8000hz sound is not good. similar electronic sound. f7 test sound with bootcamp theme, same too(electronic).

in my case i can listen good quality with only 44100hz.

so, clovy theme sound is not good for me. because it has 8000hz

 

EDIT1.

when play clovy theme sound.wav in itunes, sound quality is not bad. it doesn't have electronic sound.

i think clover force to change frequency? 8000 hz to 44100hz? in this process, generate electronic sound?

i don't know exactly. i didn't see it in detail.

@Sherlocks Thanks for accepting my proposition with r4858 commit.

MX Linux, Parrot OS (+Ghost BSD) icons are ready to be pushed to Clover Theme Repository, for all my 60+ themes.

I've got the sound, now. Thanks a lot. I did not check my downloaded file on the forum on a previous post

 

The sound come on Clover "scan entries" instead of Clover GUI. Is this normal?

Haha! The sound should be played before the UI shows up. I don't have "scan entries" activated, but yeah, I think that's probably intended.

 

Also, you're welcome. :)

Same. 

 

Awesome!

 

Is there a way to get rid of the metallic sound of the wav? It played clearly testing with BootChimeCfg but when hitting F7 in the Clover options and when it plays automatically it is buzzy.  My desktop it plays fine. Stupid laptop. 

The sound by F7 is not Chime sound it is guitar sound by Roger Glover.

If 8000 works then 48000 works too.

EDIT:

Yes but the sound.wav from Clovy theme was metallic and buzzy when played at boot.

 

"If 8000 works then 48000 works too."

 

Thanks for this.

 

Updating from 4858 to 4859 and converting the wav to 48000 32 bit float fixed it. This is crazy awesome!

 

But here is what it was like before

Do you know how to disable 'scan entries' at startup. Thanks.
