Speaker grayed out on my 4530s laptop

I purchased this pre-configured with Sierra pre-installed.

I've not had any problems per se until now.

The speaker icon at the top is grayed out & when I go into system preferences, I can't change the volume as the mute button is ticked and grayed out.

The system has clover as a boot loader but I know nothing about going anywhere inside the machine & changing anything.  

Can anyone help?

I know you'll probably tell me to google this, but am I suppose to enter this info into Clover, & if so, where should I save it?  If not where does the info go?
I'm sorry for the newb questions, but this was already set up as a hackintosh & I know nothing about it & don't want to screw anything up.

OK...i got this:

 

#Automatically adjusted by AppleHDA Patcher.app
# original by RehabMan
 
 
#   Inject Audio info
into method label _DSM parent_label HDEF remove_entry;
into device label HDEF insert
begin
Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized)\n
{\n
    If (LEqual (Arg2, Zero)) { Return (Buffer() { 0x03 } ) }\n
    Return (Package()\n
    {\n
        "AAPL,slot-name", Buffer() { "Built in" },\n
        "layout-id", Buffer() { 0x03, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 },\n
        "device_type", Buffer() { "Audio Controller" },\n
        "built-in", Buffer() { 0x00 },\n
        "PinConfigurations", Buffer() { },\n
        "hda-gfx", Buffer() { "onboard-1" }\n
    })\n
}\n

 

end
 
Where does it go?

Check in ur DSDT have a native device HDEF, if yes just use Inject 3 in device tab in ur config.plist


if dont have HDEF u need to rename to

e.g

HDAS to HDEF, ALZA to HDEF, AZAL to HDEF

-Post Ioreg, extract with Ioreg Explorer

Use clover configurator to mount the EFI partition on your macOS drive. Select Mount EFI from the left side and then click "Mount Partition"

http://mackie100projects.altervista.org

 

Open EFI partition and copy the files into the following path:

/EFI/Clover/kexts/10.12 or "Other" folder.

 

It's better use 10.12 folder though.

Thanks for that.  Made it a lot easier for me to understand.

My speakers' still grayed out as well as the checked mute box in system preferences.

 

No problem :)

 

Your laptop uses IDT 92HD87 audio codec which according to : http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/283754-patched-applehdakext-for-codecs-idt-92hd81b1x5-92hd91bxx-92hd87b13-92hd87b24-92hd87xx-etc/is supported check it out and post your EFI folder if you can to see what's wrong.

 

You can also use VoodooHDA which is way simpler to install if you don't want to go the extra mile to get the Audio working.
