Ventura beta 13.3 killed "enable-backlight-registers-fix" on DeviceProperties (same -igfxblr on Boot argument).
My Dell Vostro 5490 (i5-10210u) after update, is acting like without this Whatevergreen proprieties. Very dim light screen on boot and after some time backlight restore to normal.
Anybody else? Solutions?

 

Ventura 13.3 RC fix it.

Tested. Working! Thanks!

Seems like the OC ExternalDiskIcons quirk/AppleAHCIPort patch no longer works in 13.3 on my system.  Despite booting with latest OC 0.9.1 that includes @PMheart's commit edb0419, my internal SATA HDD appeared as orange external drives in 13.3 vs OK in 13.2.1...

I also noticed that the boot & shutdown processes were spammed with AHCI errors owing to the presence of my DVD-RW drive (described in this post and @J Lamp's post).  These went away if I disconnected the drive.  Hopefully someone smarter than me can devise an OC patch to prevent these AHCI error messages appearing in 13.3+.

Sorry to know you're having some niggles on your system, I am not having any internal/External identity problem (Orange Icon) as all disks are identified correctly albeit our two systems are of different chipset.

The External disk on my system is connected via a USB adapter that I plug and unplug as needed. This holds all my bought programs plus a few handy bits and pieces.

But to test the DVD-RW glitch, I have a unit lying around so decided to hook it up and see if I could induce the glitches you described. No ACHI errors at boot up or shutdown and boot times are as normal approx 15 to 20 seconds.

I wish I could offer a clear explanation, unfortunately I am lost as to why this is happening on your rig hope you find a solution though. Good luck.

Orange disk icon appeared due to a bug in SATA controller firmware. It can't be corrected.

But we can patch the driver "External" -> "Internal" string inside  or just replace orange icon by metallic one.

@fusion71au

I don't have the orange disk icons issue, all is working as before. Now on OpenCore 0.9.1. But the hardware is very different.

[Ellybz]

@fusion71au

Same story here. No such odd behaviors are reported on X299.

Everything works as intended. And yes I know, I use lots  of drives .

@fusion71au Hi I've had think about your orange Icon (Internal/External Disk) glitch. It may be a bit far fetch and clutching at straws but did you at any time alter or made an entry into the Info.plist of the NVMe.kext?

The reason I came up with this assumption, I was trying to solve the 'Unknown Connection' in 'Disk Utility' for my M.2 drives and made a few alterations to the NVMe.kext Info.plist to correct it and got the result you described (see attached) with some of my disks reading as External which is wrong.

[fusion71au]

Thanks guys, for all your inputs.  

 

The orange disk icons issue is merely cosmetic and TBH I am not too fussed about it.  The main annoyance is the boot slowdown and AHCI error spamming due, I assume, to some incompatibility of my old DVD-RW drive with the new AHCI drivers in 13.3+.  This probably won't affect all DVD drives or SATA controllers, but I am hoping that maybe an OC patch can suppress error logging (funnily enough, I can still play movies in 13.3 on my DVD drive).

I have read that there is a bug in Gigabyte's BIOS for my ancient P55A motherboard that is the main cause of the orange icons.  Nevertheless, enabling the External Icons patch for AppleAHCIPort.kext in Clover or OC quirk worked (changing the "External" string to "Internal". string) in older macOS up to 13.2.1 but not 13.3 for my system.

 

The manual custom disk icon method still works (copy/pasting the Internal.icns file from IOStorageFamily.kext/Contents/Resources in Finder-->creates hidden ".VolumeIcon.icns" file on root of volume) -

Besides root patching with OCLP 0.6.2 for non-metal AMD Terascale 2 graphics, I have not modified any kexts (including NVMe.kext) manually.

Hope this is the right place for this.

I am working on the "cosmetic" side on my Dell Latitude 3410, GUI & Boot Chime.

I cannot for the life of me get the boot chime to work.

I have the resources folder and the sounds in the audio folder.

I believe config is correct, just get no startup chime.

Hi - I had a look at your config.plist and found a few errors (see attached including my working examples).

You need to find the correct Codec Value for your system and insert this into the config.plist (Dortania has an extensive list of Codec examples that you can try until you find the correct one for your system) again, see my examples attached. Good luck.

It might be helpful to look at your debug log. If OC finds your audio device, perhaps, this may help you to troubleshoot.

you could also add your Layout-ID in your audio section and remove the boot argument

@SavageAUS

Did you follow the guide? I’ll check your config when I’ll come back to home.

[SavageAUS]

Yeah I followed the guide. I have boot chime working on my AMD hack and my other laptop the one in my signature but not this one.
The problem is the guide doesn’t match up to what is in OC anymore. It needs updating but I’ll continue to read and use OC debug.

I’m pretty sure that the guide is not outdated. It was updated by myself a few months ago. No changes in that OpenCore section after that. 

 Audio chipset model of the motherboard?

Now you just have to find the Lay-out ID relevant for that Codec. You'll be be presented with a potential list of numbers i.e 1,2,3,4,5,7,9,10,11 and probably upwards, unfortunately you'll have to try each one until your speakers are working and Headphones are also working and recognised when plugged in.

Good luck and keep us posted on progress.

 

PS - This is what I found:

With the layout I am using (15) and have audio working fine. No mic but that’s intel sst or something and will never work.
I have tested different layout ids and they all produce sound in the os but not the startup chime.

Don't mix sound in macOS (AppleHDA.kext with several layouts) with startup chime produces by AudioDxe.efi working before the system starts.
