VoodooHDA 3.1.2

deeveedee · November 4, 2025

I just performed a clean installation of macOS Tahoe 26.1 on my HackBookPro16,2 after botching the volume with too much experimentation

During the clean installation, I discovered that VoodooHDA.kext 3.0.3 can be installed in Tahoe 26.1 with csr-active-config = <03000000>. After installing VoodooHDA.kext and confirming working audio, SIP can be further restricted with csr-active-config = <01000000>. Once VoodooHDA.kext is installed in Tahoe's /Library/Extensions, audio persists through macOS Tahoe upgrades (e.g., from 26.0 -> 26.1) without the need to change SIP settings and without the need to re-install VoodooHDA.kext.

Hey,

Im still toying with getting VoodooHDA to work. I have finally got it installed to the extension folder and have installed the prefs pane but it is still not recognized. Do I need to add csr-active-config = <01000000> to the boot args?

Cheers, Howard

But... did you follow the instructions in the first line in the first post?

What is "extension folder"? /S/L/E or /L/E?

And yes, csr-active-config must be not zero.

What do I need to do so that VoodooHDA automatically switches between built-in speakers and the headphone once the headphone jack is plugged in (and later unplugged again)?

From Hackintool, with AppleHDA loaded in macOS Monterey (because with VoodooHDA in Tahoe there is hardly any output):

/L/E. I installed using L. E. kext tool. Inserted csr excetera into boot args rebooted cleared NVRAM tried again. Same thing. It lists optical out which I don't have and doesn't work.

Automatically switch occurs when speaker and headphone lie in one group with different position and the speaker is "fixed" like that:
nid 20 0x90170110 as 1 seq 0 Speaker

nid 33 0x04211020 as 2 seq 0 Headphones

They are in different groups. We must change as

nid 33 0x0421101F as 1 seq F Headphone

they will be switchable.

The second condition is the socket will be HDA compatible, not AC97.

VoodooHDA 3.0.3 in Tahoe works fine.

Make the whole procedure again from initial point. Don't forget to reboot after some steps as written in the guide.

Sooo. I tried Chris1111 Voodoo install from GitHub. Downloaded and followed instructions to a "T". Install was fine. Rebooted and saw Kext was in Library\Extensions. Saw that Voodoo Prefs was present in System Settings. Clicked on the prefs and got the message "no VooDoo devices present". I'm starting to think it's the PC I'm using to host Tahoe that's the problem. The audio on the Optiplex is not a separate card but built in.

deeveedee · November 8, 2025

@Zevgoli In your boot-args, you have 'csr-active-config = <01000000>'

I've never seen csr-active-config in boot-args before, but if it works like other boot-args, it may be overriding your other definition of csr-active-config (FF0F0000).

Remove 'csr-active-config = <01000000>' from boot-args, delete VoodooHDA.kext from /Library/Extensions, delete VoodooHDA.prefPane from /Library/PreferencePanes and try installing VoodooHDA again.

EDIT: After you remove csr-active-config=<0100000>' from boot-args and delete the VoodooHDA files, reboot before attempting to install VoodooHDA again.

Did exactly as you suggested and nothing worked. Tried several times with different configurations. Removed my USB sound stick and tried again thinking this might be the issue. It's not. Cleared NVRAM then didn't clear NVRAM. Same thing. Sometimes I don't even get the Pref pane installed even though I approve the install under Privacy. Tried Chris1111 suggestion to add the csr-active-config ➣ 03080000 to config list. Didn't work. So I think I will give up and settle for the Sabrent sound stick which does work.

Are you try compile the Kext?

Its not so difficult...

And a Clean install? Check if you have AppleALC on your EFI, or delete hidden files inside EFI

And them run this command and will restart cleaning your Nvram

sudo nvram ResetNVRam=1 && sudo reboot

Max.1974 · November 9, 2025

After that tun this:

sudo chmod -Rf 755 /L*/E*
sudo chown -Rf 0:0 /L*/E*
sudo touch -f /L*/E*
sudo chmod -Rf 755 /S*/L*/E*
sudo chown -Rf 0:0 /S*/L*/E*
sudo touch -f /S*/L*/E*
sudo kextcache -Boot -U /
sudo kextutil -v /Library/Extensions/VoodooHDA.kext
sudo kextload /Library/Extensions/VoodooHDA.kext
log show --last boot | grep -i voodoo

Need check your all SSDTs files one by one to see if its one of them causing issue

Remove the kext in /Library/Extensions/VoodooHDA.kext

Remove /Users/Zevgoli/VoodooHDA-Tahoe

Empty the trash

Make sure AppleALC.kext is not activate in config.plist

reboot macOS

Then use this branch Test on Dell Optiplex It work on my HP Prodesk

Did this and I get the same error message opening Voodoo prefs. No Voodoo devices found. Check Sound and the only thing listed is my USB sound adapter.

Good idea Chris1111. Thanks.

Hi everyone,

I may have found the reason why VoodooHDA (without AppleALC) sometimes fails to detect audio devices (including in my case).

At least in my case, AppleGFXHDA was preventing VoodooHDA from initializing. After blocking AppleGFXHDA in the kernel section with this:

...which didn't work on its own; AppleGFXHDA continued to load, so I additionally activated a code-less kext, renamed it to AppleGFXHDA.kext, and changed its bundle identifier to com.apple.driver.AppleGFXHDA.

With that, AppleGFXHDA was no longer loaded, and VoodooHDA recognized my audio device.

Initially I thought Voodoo doesn't detect my Audio Device because of Realtek ALC255 is missing in it's code, but it turned out, that was wrong.

See here: https://github.com/CloverHackyColor/VoodooHDA/issues/6

Unfortunately, this didn't solve my original problem. I still have the same issue as before when I used VoodooHDA together with AppleALC: My microphone is detected, but it doesn't work.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Can you attach the code-less.kext please

schrup21 · December 22, 2025

there's nothing special about it 😉

Honestly I only renamed USBMap.kext, renamed CFBundleIdentifier and -Name in it's info.plist and deleted all the IOKit stuff, so it absolutely does nothing 😂

Except of blocking AppleGFXHDA

@schrup21 I use AppleALC.kext to block AppleGFXHDA as I reported here and here. it's convenient, since I multi-boot multiple versions of macOS, so AppleALC.kext is already in my EFI. And AppleACL.kext can't interfere with VoodooHDA.kext in Tahoe, because Tahoe does not have AppleHDA, so loading AppleALC.kext and VoodooHDA.kext simultaneously in Tahoe works fine.

Are you creating the new kext because you don't use AppleALC.kext?

I'm not sure that I understand your issue. Is this what you mean:

In my case, my HP EliteBook 850 G7 drives the internal Mic with an Intel CODEC that has never worked in macOS (even with AppleALC.kext in versions of macOS before Tahoe). The internal Mic is detected and appears in IOReg/System Report, but is not enabled. VoodooHDA does not activate the Mic in Tahoe. I assumed that I needed to add the correct properties to VoodooHDA.kext Info.plist, but I haven't researched this yet. In summary, my internal Mic is detected by macOS, but it is not enabled with AppleALC.kext in macOS versions prior to Tahoe and it is not enabled with VoodooHDA in Tahoe.

I tried to use VoodooHDA's "get dump" but it did not produce an output for me.
