sbhas2k Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 (edited) Hello All Glad to be a part of this community. I have recently installed Catalina using OpenCore 0.6.9 on Lenovo B40-70 (seems like an unpopular laptop, as not many installation). I got everything to be working fine, however Audio was an issue since beginning. I tried voodoo which worked partially as my mic was not picking the sound. As per the IOregistry explorer I got the below details IOService:/AppleACPIPlatformExpert/PCI0@0/AppleACPIPCI/HDAU@3 Hashwall ULT HD Audion Controller IOService:/AppleACPIPlatformExpert/PCI0@0/AppleACPIPCI/HDEF@1B RealTek ALC 235 (8 series HD Audio Controller) For ALC235, I tried all the layout id as instructed, but I was unable to get the audio working. It would be great if someone throw some light on this. Attaching config.plist & efi folder for reference. Thanks in advance config.plist EFI.zip Edited May 30, 2021 by sbhas2k attached efi folder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirone Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Hello, none of the Layout-Id's contained in AppleALC work for you? not even the Speakers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you are correct. Only voodoo kext works Even I have installed windows in a different hdd just to check the ALC codec details and confirmed it was indeed 235 Edited May 30, 2021 by sbhas2k Added windows hardware details Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirone Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Could you send me a dump of your codec extracting with the latest version of linux? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbhas2k Posted May 30, 2021 Author Share Posted May 30, 2021 (edited) Please find attached codec dump (used this command cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#0 ) from linux and also dump from Mac. codecdump_linux.txt codecdump_mac.txt Edited May 30, 2021 by sbhas2k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the issue is not AppleALC. An IOReg-dump could be useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please find attached screenshots from IORegistry explorer (dunno the way to take dump) and dpci manager. You can see 2 entries for audio, one for intel hdmi and another alc235 Hope this helps.

wern apfel Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 It was very close, see screenshot. You already had that HPET-SSDT, but somehow it does not work. Can you upload your DSDT? Use MaciASL to save it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just tried the HPET off with layout as 3 and all are working as expected. Mic & Speakers Thanks a lot for your help. I will try the same with bigsur on another HD tmw. Let me know what we did for my knowledge. Also, it would be great if you direct me to any tutorials that will enable me to arrive to a similar solution Also, my laptop doesn't go to sleep and restarts. Is there any kext that I can use? I can research for possible solution though Edited May 31, 2021 by sbhas2k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any kext I can use to enable sleep/hiberation? Let me know. Just an update - Sleep is working fine on BigSur. Only difference is BigSur is on HD, Catalina is on SSD (Sata3). Would that be a cause fo sleep issue? Edited June 1, 2021 by sbhas2k update Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
