b0fh Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Just in case someone cares or considers this laptop 10.11.5 currently, updated from 10.11.4 using appstore without a hitch; "Everything" works except the radeon switched card, expected. Onboard audio is not working on mine but it could work, I just don't care and disabled it in BIOS. When I need audio I use BT or USB headphones. Had to swap the wifi card (intel) for a dell dw1560 (same as bcm94352). What works : sleep / wake all usb ports (no patch was needed) battery (manually patched DSDT) HD5500 video (patched drivers in clover .plist). VGA out works, DisplayPort not tested yet. wireless (fakepciid) bluetooth (brcmpatchram2 + brcmfirmwarerepo) keyboard and trackpad (vodoops2controller), even 3-finger gestures work, its almost like a mac (except it is not haha) backlight (ACPIBacklight + DSDT patch) ethernet (AppleIntelE1000e) handoff (patch driver using wireless_bcm94352_110-v4.0c.command) very stable, no KPs yet (well, I had two but it was my fault as I was messing with bluetooth using BT explorer) - none on normal usage. laptop details: Broadwell Core i7 - 5600u @ 2.60GHz 16GB RAM (DDR3 1600) 256GB pciE SSD (sandisk) 1TB SATA HDD (added myself, there's a drive bay) Graphics intel HD5500, full HD 1920x1080 display 4 usb ports, ethernet, DisplayPort out, vga out, sd card reader (never tried, maybe it works maybe not) all things considered, a very capable machine. using it for 'production'. only minor annoyance currently is that the partitions on the SSD (which is the boot disk) show as external/removable. cheers 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/312320-hp-zbook-15u-g2-broadwell/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Post your audio codec, maybe we can try inject it If you want of course 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/312320-hp-zbook-15u-g2-broadwell/#findComment-2240146 Share on other sites More sharing options...
b0fh Posted May 25, 2016 Author Share Posted May 25, 2016 you mean this file from linux/alsa, right? (attached). I read about this audio injection thing but I must confess it kind of eludes me forgot to mention something probably important about the hack itself, the SMBIOS is for 13" macbook air mid-2013, as weird as it seems it was the one that worked best, and I think that MBA is haswell not broadwell. codec#0.txt Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/312320-hp-zbook-15u-g2-broadwell/#findComment-2240203 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Yeah, i'm searching if exists a patch for this codec, but i didn't found anything. Neither VoodooHDA works?

b0fh Posted May 30, 2016 Author Share Posted May 30, 2016 never tried vodooHDA. actually I keep the audio device(s) disabled in BIOS because having them enabled prevent sleep, hangs and needs a 'shutoff'. making it work properly will likely require more DSDT patching as well.
