I agree it is better to root patch Tahoe B6 using the matching the B6 KDK (with B1 AppleHDA) now that it is available.  This already has the updated IOStorageFamily.kext with the new disk icons so don't have to do extra steps if you want the new icons...

@fusion71au from where you have KDK_26.0_25A5338b.kdk? I can't find it.

@Stefanalmare,

 

Weird, maybe they pulled the download?  It was available a few hours ago when @matxpa posted....

Actually my monitor is connected to the RX580.

As the RX 4xx and 5xx were not supported in Beta 1, I was forced to use the Intel CPU Graphics to get video signal which then allowed audio via the Display Port

 

At the moment the machine is in Headless Mode which is suppose to utilise both Graphic capability which I have yet to see an advantage of this setup.

The attached pics would possibly give you an idea or confuse the query even more.

Yeah, I'm more confused.

The Beta 1 still included AppleHDA.kext, so you could easily have Intel HDMI audio at that point.

Well, I don’t know exactly what the status of AMD cards is right now on Tahoe but they also have audio chip.

Does anyone have working audio on Intel (UHD 630) HDMI/DP without having to restore the AppleHDA.kext?

AppleHDA Vs AppleGFXHDA?

I dare say when the machine was connected via the integrated Intel Graphics, the Audio was also available via HDMI.

I only had a display port cable which worked as there was a choice of either HDMI or D/P and I chose what was readily available which was audio via DP.

 

From what I've read, you did a clean install. Could you try connecting the monitor to the motherboard again before you restore AppleHDA?

Can we set up Intel HDMI audio using AppleGFXHDA too somehow?

Update To Beta 6, Got Wifi Going, Strange It Didn't Work In 5, Sound With VoodooHDA, No Bluetooth YET

Only Thing Wrong Is When I Restart It Doesn't Show Clover Menu, Just Sits At The Dell Screen,

Have To Power Down Then Up For Clover Menu To Show

Tks. @fantomas
@miliuco I'll install Beta 6 and try—again—using Migration Assistant. But I believe only those with superpowers can do it!

 

EDIT:
@Anto65 and @eSaF :  I'm counting on your support!  

 

I couldn't do it!
Migration Assistant keeps looping!
I don't have any of @miliuco's powers.

HDMI audio works fine without AppleHDA. 
 

EDIT: talking about AMD, iGPU not tried.

26.0 25A5338b, i5-4590, RX 460, VoodooHDA, everything works fine.

I replaced Launchpad on Beta 6 and it works well. However, it should be noted that, like B3, the old version of the launcher still cannot coexist with spotlight.

 

I think it's time to learn how to adapt to SpotlightPlus.

What the hell did I miss? :)) anyway… while I understand Alfredo’s frustration, and while I didn’t get to read those posts before they got deleted, I think I can safely say this: unlike other forums, the mods on this forum are really cool people. And they’re only doing their job. Believe me. I did have my posts deleted on other forums (only one actually), with no notification (I was only asking for help and my post got deleted cause “they doesn’t provide value”.) so I know how it is. Well, we’re not all “specialists”. We’re a community. What I don’t know, you might, and vice-versa. We’re not perfect. Also, this is not a “help desk”. So don’t come wearing demands. You might be disappointed. :)) Be nice, be humble, and be ready to learn. 
So in my experience over the years with this forum, believe me when I say this is one of the coolest, most welcoming forums you could be on. 
I’ve seen the other side. It’s not like this. 
 

Anyway, back on topic. Did you guys test WakeOnLan feature? I tested something like this many years ago but I can’t remember how it works. :))

Anyway. Does WoL work for you? I’m not sure how to enable it and test it on my hack. Is there an app that can trigger it from another Mac/hack? Does it work (is it supposed to) from shut down as well? Or only sleep? I’m trying to use my hack as a NAS, so while I don’t need it to run 24/7, I want to be able to wake it and work on it from remote. What would you guys advise on this?

Ho sostituito Launchpad sulla Beta 6 e funziona bene. Tuttavia, va notato che, come la B3, la vecchia versione del launcher non può ancora coesistere con Spotlight.

 

Penso che sia giunto il momento di imparare ad adattarsi a SpotlightPlus.

Hi, I was starting to worry. 😅 Everything OK ?

 

It doesn't work with Sip 01000000
OK with 03080000

 

I had to run the command:
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/FeatureFlags/Domain/SpotlightUI.plist SpotlightPlus -dict Enabled -bool false
Anyway, why are the icons so small? You can make them bigger... thanks

https://github.com/laobamac/SimpleLoader/blob/main/README-EN.md

is very easy to use more so if you have a z390 chipset for me restoring audio with simple loader works but the other methods failed, i have not got all the sound channels working at the moment only four audio outs twe audio inputs 

video here simple to follow steps

Ah? What a strange question. I did not make any modifications to the original Launchpad.app, these contents should have been automatically adjusted by the system

Hi

Your reaction isn't funny!!

Before posting this kind of answer, it would be better to go to the "Apple Dev" site and check.

 

DL it, 

install it to obtain KDK_26.0_25A5338b.kdk in /Library/Developer/KDKs,

Open it with FastDMG, copy KernelDebugKit.pkg

to /Library/Developer/KDKs and rename it if you want to

 

Regards

Hi

And where do you think the guy found all those KDKs, he created them himself ?

And Kernel_Debug_Kit_26_build_25A5338b_.dmg was published at 2025-08-08 on Apple Dev not at 2025-08-10

Finally, 24 USB ports are enabled with SSDT.aml without any USB kexts. 

0xFF in _UPC means enabled. Change to 0x00 to disable a port.

 

28 ports 14 HS + 14 SS.txt

Have they really been tested with USB2 and USB3 devices and do they work? 😀

And I, naive, thought that there was a limit of 15 ports per physical controller...

Hi

Thanks 

Obviously Apple removed the link

And thank you for confirming and reassuring me that I am not an imposter, which to some it seems obvious that I am.

Well, it could be that he uploaded it to his server/app two days later.

 

It's not on Apple Dev. site 

( But nobody is saying it's your fault if they removed it. )

Have a great weekend!
 

Note: The Dynamic Wallpaper is attached.

EDIT:
Since I'm an apprentice... {laughs}.

Tahoe_Dynamic_Wallpaper.heic.zip 9.04 MB · 56 downloads

@Anto65, @miliuco and @eSaF (My Young Consultants!):

Have you tested this Dynamic Wallpaper (.heic) on Tahoe Beta 6?
I'm asking because it was working fine until Beta 5. Not so on Beta 6!
Even if you open it with the Preview app, it doesn't display as shown in the image (heic) below; it looks like a single image like PNG, JPG, etc.

Sorry man, I am slightly confused.

Are you saying the image is blurred? I can't really tell too much from the pic.

Please, download this .heic and open with Preview app:
