No audio with z77x-ud5h

[film_guy01]

Hi! I'm new here. I've been a hackintosher for a about 1 year but am still VERY new and don't know much.

 

I HAD a fully functional 10.8 hackintosh as of four days ago. Then I needed to upgrade to something newer and it seems to have broken my sound.

 

I have:

A Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD5H Motherboard 
An Nvidia 660Ti Graphics card 
An Intel i5 3570K CPU

640GB hard drive (not SSD)

 

I'm doing the bare minimum of installation. I am installing on 10.8 again (I figure I should try to get back to where I was before before moving on to the 10.8.4 update). I have successfully installed 10.8 then used [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] to install the User non-DSDT option, the GraphicsEnabler=No option and then the ALC898 kext. For some reason even though I believe this worked once (I got it working over a year ago and don't exactly remember what I did then) it isn't working now. 

 

I've tried the green audio jack, the orange audio jack, and the black audio jack. I have something plugged into all three of them to make sure I don't miss anything. But my system preferences...sound settings are telling me to don't have any output devices installed. 

 

Any suggestions? Thanks so much!

Hi and welcome. AppleHDA.kext, which is reposonsible for onboard sound, will most likely be replaced with each update you install and you will need to replace it with a patched version.

Have a look at the download section, you should find one for your audio chipset. Make sure you use a layout-id that matches the patched AppleHDA.

Thanks K3nny! Ok this is what I have read. In this case though, there has been no update. Just a fresh install of 10.8 and then an install of Realtek ALC898 AppleHDA Audio v2.4.7 using [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] 5.5.1 (I think maybe the one in the downloads section might be outdated as it is v 2.3.7)

Ok. When I read about layout-id's it starts getting a little beyond me. From what I read though about my mobo it should take the ALC898. Which is what I have installed. It's a very clean install at the moment I might add. There haven't been any other HDA kexts installed so hopefully there shouldn't be any conflicts. But audio still isn't working.

OK. So just for kicks I went and manually installed with kext utility the injector and the older 2.3.7 version of the ALC898 and that worked! K3nny...I have been working on this for THREE days and I have been out of my mind with frustration but this worked and now I have sound running. THANK YOU. You're the best. Now let's see if I can update 10.8.4 without problems. Wish me luck!
