@Max.1974 @Slice @MaLd0n  Should we all be building a custom VoodooHDA for our hacks?  I have always used the kexts provided by Slice and MaLd0n (modifying only Info.plist as needed), but I'm open to your advice if you think that re-building the kext makes any difference.

@Max.1974 No offense, but that doesn't make any sense to me. Do you have a reference about this that I can learn from.  I personally don't think anyone needs to be custom-building VoodooHDA, but I'm open to having my mind changed.  If anyone else believes that they need to custom-build VoodooHDA, I'd like to learn why you think so.

 

Thanks for your patience with my learning.

I think no one needs custom building. You have nothing to change except info.plist

Thank you, @Slice.  I am currently testing VoodooHDA.kext 3.6.4 with analog InhibitCache=false on my HP EliteBook 850 G7 laptop.  Is that the only difference between 364 and 365?  Analog HDA Audio quality is outstanding.

 

364 and 365 have a big difference in 192kHz rate.

I do custom building to support my unlisted Yosemite

@LockDown That makes sense.  The VoodooHDA.kext 3.6.4 Info.plist includes attribute LSMinimumSystemVersion = 10.13 (macOS High Sierra).  If that is accurate and VoodooHDA targets 10.13 and later, then custom builds may be required for macOS versions earlier than High Sierra.

Somehow VoodooHDA may work even in 10.9. In my old computer it works with ATI HD5570 in 10.11.6. So the MinimalSystemVersion is under question.
