Random restart & audio issue

[Aaron3]

Thanks in advance for any help. This is my 3rd hack, and by far the biggest pain in the butt of the 3. 

 

ASUS Z170i Pro Gaming ITX

i5-6600k (water cooled)

16GB G. Skill DDR4 3000 (no XMP enabled yet)

256GB OCZ RD400 M.2 SSD

MSI GTX 760 2GB

 

I still can't get the audio to work, even after following the advice on the forums I've found for the same board and similar audio on others. 

 

I'm also having random shut restarts and get the Apple error saying it shut down due to a problem and generates a report...I'll attach at the end. The problem seems to happen when I'm using it....if it just idles it runs fine. Last night was the first night I had it finished and as I was downloading and setting things up it restarted 3 times. Once I finished and let it idle it was fine and ran all night. If it matters it is also used as my Plex server and I streamed movies without it shutting down. I'll list what I did to get the Hack up and running incase someone sees a red flag that might cause it, also will attach the error report, system profile, and config.plist.

 

- Made [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] (from tonymacx86) drive edited with Rehab's patch for NVMe 

- Installed OSX 10.2.2 with no issues

- Ran Mulibeast (from tonymacx86) and got it to boot on it's on with no problems except no audio and no wifi (which was expected)

- Got my USB WiFi working, continued to try audio, no luck on the latter

- Tried to change profile to iMac 17,1 per a forum post (closest match to the 6600k), black screened

- Booted using USB, replaced config.plist with one off USB, back up to normal

- Used Migration Assistant to tranfer Applications & such from old Hackintosh SSD (everything but USER), was running 10.12.1

- My user file (of course with settings and all) stays on a hard drive not the SSD, so I pointed my User on new Hack to the old user folder on the hard drive (don't know if it matters that the old Hack was a Z97 system running 10.12.1 not 10.12.2)

- Rebooted and all my settings and such was there, easy peasy

- Shut down, put computer all the way together and took it home. Hooked up, booted up perfect. Started setting up and then issues started.

 

I know this is long, but figured I'd put it all out there incase anyone has any ideas. I don't know if it has anything to do using the User settings from my old one, even though it didn't replace the config.plist or aanything (or I wouldn't think so).

 

Only other thing since I got ya'll thinking I hope....lol My other hack runs fine, and has for a while. But after updating to 10.12.1 (or so I believe, might just have been timing) certain sites in Safari lock the whole computer up. But doesn't do it on my real iMac. No other browser does. I completely reloaded it and it still does it on certain sites. Anybody else having similar issues? Is it a Hack issue or a Safari/Flash issue or something?

Thanks for the reply.  My bad that I didn't look at the forum rules or stickies first before I posted.

 

I honestly didn't know there was another way to do a Hackintosh, but since I've having trouble with this particular Hack I have no problem trying another method.  I will search the forum and see if I can find a guide for my board and some help on the way you all do Hacks over here, I'm not loyal to the "other guys" or anything.  I just want another working Hack.

Hi. Merry Christmas!

 

1. You got black screen while setting SMBios to iMac17,1 is due to AGDP(AppleGraphicsDevicePolicy). You can run AGDPFix (http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/files/file/424-agdpfix) to simply fix this. You should turn SIP off firstly. Or try to use Pike's patch to do so. (* But may NOT work) [https://pikeralpha.wordpress.com/2015/11/23/patching-applegraphicsdevicepolicy-kext]

2. The random reboot could be caused by NVidia drivers. Try to enable 'Inject NVidia'. Or install NVidia WEB Drivers and you should enable NVidiaWeb.

3. I saw your patch code for audio is wrong... Make sure that you have installed the patched AppleHDA properly by toleda's script. And then try the new fixed config.plist. You can check what I did by yourself.

4. You are currently using a NVMe SSD. Right? If so and then you should use a set of patches on this.

 

Here is the new config.plist with fixes above. Please try, and feedback.

I've been looking around, and have a couple questions before I go for a wipe and do over.

 

- I see the Apple Terminal command to make a USB with Sierra, no problem there.  Then I download Clover (or is Enoch better) and install it on the USB.  All that is easy enough.  What I'm wondering is, my M.2 NVMe drive....will it be natively discovered with that method?  Before I had to use a pain in the butt patch and add a custom kext to the USB clover folder and a custom edited config.plist to get it to recognize.  

 

- Once installed I assume I install the bootloader to the main drive?  Then what's the best way to get everything else working correctly and testing it?  

 

 

Sorry if I sound ignorant, I'm a computer tech myself and have done 3 Hacks, but all the "other" way....now I have had minor issues with all, so I'm all for doing it the InsanelyMac way if it'll all be smoother when said and done.  I just am new to the more manual way.

1.  I will try that fix, but would changing the SMBios make a difference or leaving it at 14,2 like currently be fine?  It there's no advantage I won't worry a bout it.

2.  I did install the NVidia webdrivers even though they aren't necessary as my GPU is natively supported.  There was no uninstall I could find, I can try the inject Nvidia and see if that helps.

3.  I will search for toleda's script and see if it helps.  Is the config.plist you uploaded yours or mine modified?

4.  Yes I'm currently using a NVMe SSD....and boy was it a pain to get to be recognized.  I have a patched kext and .aml file in the clover folder for it.  That was all thanks to RehabMan (hope he's not off limits to mention, not sure if he part of your community or not).  Is there something else I need to do for it?  The tested speed seems to be close to what it should be.

 

 

Thanks for the help, and I'm headed home from work and will try those couple things, please be patient with me as I'm new to InsanelyMac's way of hacking.  But if I get everything going smoothly then this will be my new Hackintosh home!

1. I don't know any advantages. But you can try to use iMac17,1. I think CPU matches the SMBios is better.

2. Yup. But sometimes WEB Driver could be a better solution. Although it's so inconvenient that when system got updated. And in some cases the native drivers could be problematic. (Like yours.)

    And also. Typically for Kepler ones. Turing on 'Inject NVidia' could help.

3. It's yours with my modifications like I mentioned above.

4. Yes. The M.2 NVMe SSD needs patching. But I don't think using a legacy kext to implement this is right like @RehabMan did. Just use the patches from Pike R. Alpha via Clover's KextToPatch. And the new config.plist has contained them.

 

LOL. Hope it will be so.

Thanks again.

 

1. I will run the fix and change the SMBios anyways then, if it works it can't hurt.

2. I will turn on the webdrivers and try that, as I did have it selected to use OSX ones.  If that doens't help I'll try the inject.

3. I'll try the plist and see what it does.

4. So I need to remove the SSDT-NVMe-Pcc (in the ACPI/Patched folder) & HackrNCMeFamily-10.12.2.kext from the clover file and just use the edited plist you you provided?

1. Firstly try using Pike's patch on AppleGraphicsDevicePolicy. If not work then run AGDPFix.

2. Firstly try enabling 'Inject NVidia'. If not work then install WEB Drivers.

3. Alright. 

4. Yes. With the new config.plist you don't need any new ACPI tables and patched legacy kexts.

[Aaron3]

Couple issues.

 

1. I ran the fix

2. Your plist seemed to have 'Inject Nvidia' already in it

3. I replaced my plist with yours (made backup of course)

4. Did what you said.....had success on that one.  

 

I'm not booting with your plist.  I tried as it was, I get the Apple and then get the pic I've attached.  I booted off my USB and changed the definition to the 17,1 like I wanted, same thing.  Currently the plist is 'Inject NVidia' and running OS X native drivers.....I need to re download the web drivers (which are always a pain to find).  lol

 

Any ideas?

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0fdpF_qS2S3R3FWUnBUQmJubTg

Nevermind on the last post.  I got it, installed new web drivers and took off 'Inject Nvidia'.  Changed SMBios, rebooted, and BAM....up and showing as it should.

 

Now I'll try and download the App update that kept resetting the computer and see if all that fixed it.....then audio time!

 

 

Lastly....I still don't quite understand what to do about the audio?

 

While I'm thinking about it, what's the most accurate temp monitoring program for the hacks?

Okay. And now no problem with graphics. Right? Congratulations!

Now turning to audio.

Ah? You don't get it? Alright.

Your audio card is ALC1150, right?

I found a really easy way to make your audio work. No modifications on vanilla AppleHDA.kext, which just patch AppleHDA on the fly. Like I did previously on my ALC887.

 

Firstly. Make sure the config.plist contains two patches about AppleHDA. One is '8b19d411 -> 0009ec10', and the other is '8a19d411 -> 00000000'. Don't care about lowercase/uppercase. Not necessary.

And then download this dummy kext. Then install it to /L*/E*.

AppleHDA1150.kext.zip

Make sure that your 'layout-id' is '1'. I've made it in the last config.plist. Don't touch them.

And keep /S*/L*/E*/AppleHDA.kext untouched/vanilla.

Have a try.

[Aaron3]

I will try that.  But I'm not really sure what my audio is....ASUS says it's a SupremeFX, no idea.  haha

 

Give me a few to try and reboot and see what it does.

Whoops. Check your PCI ID about Audio. May do this under Windows？

[Aaron3]

Now I'm having video issues again.  When I said it was working it had booted on it's on.  I hadn't restarted since that time.  But I messes around and didn't everything that I did last night that got it to randomly restart and everything was perfect.  I thought everything but the audio was good to go.

 

I installed that kext you sent went to restart, Apple logo, 25% loading bar, then black screen and {censored}.  Rebooted off USB, removed the audio kext, same thing.  Again off USB, ran the AGDP fix again and double checked 'inject nvidia', it said it was already patched, but I did it again, no go.

 

Should I just change SMBios back and say screw it?  If I do that though, I don't know if that is what helped me from restarting or something else.

Oops. In this case, yes. Just change to iMac14,2.

And sorry. Now here (in China) it's 4:19 A.M. Too late. I have to sleep... Goodbye.

[Aaron3]

I will do that.  I'm running 14,2 off the USB right now and haven't restarted yet.  I think the restart might have had to do with the NVMe patches I was using.

I don't think so. According to your panic log. It is related to NVDA drivers.

Time to say goodbye... Have a nice day and merry Christmas!

[Aaron3]

PMheart,

 

I wanted to thank you for all the help on my issue.  Funny enough it ended up being a really weird issue.  It would restart when static electricity discharged from me to the front of the case, which on my ITX case is where my GPU is.  I think it's my power supply not grounding correctly as I moved it from another case that use to shock me when I touched it, but it no longer does it and it has a different PSU in it.  After enough times discharging into it and it restarting it corrupted the plist or something, had to replace it again.  But I got my SMBios to 17,1 like I wanted, and ordered another PSU and case to be on the safe side.  I'll update when I make sure that's the issue.

 

Thanks again.

 

NOW....I have a little issue with my other hack, might be simple.

 

MSI Z97i AC mini-ITX

i5-4690k

16GB G.Skill

250GB Kingston SSD

1TB WD Black HD

DW1520/BCM4322 WiFi card (not using)

TP Link USB WiFi stick (using)

 

The DW1520 card quit working after I upgraded to 10.12.1....it worked with I upgraded to 10.12 though.  I've tried and can't get it to work, so went with the USB.  I want to use the DW1520 as it's internal, and I believe that might be the reason I can't share my internet connect through my ethernet like I'm supposed to be able to.  Any ideas?

 

Also, iMessage doesn't work.  I can receive messages sometimes but never send.  I really would like it working.  

 

Other than those little things the hack runs perfectly.
