macOS version? OCLP root patch?

No OCLP root patch. macOS 26.4 version.

In my case I don’t have to block AppleGFXHDA like @deeveedee.

I don't need to block AppleGFXHDA on my HP Elitebook 850 G7 laptop (MacBookPro16,2).  On my HP Elitebook, I use VoodooHDA.kext 3.1.2 to restore audio in macOS Tahoe 26.5 Beta and audio quality is outstanding.  Since I don't need to block AppleGFXHDA on my HP Elitebook, I set AppleALC's MaxKernel = 24.99.99 (macOS Sequoia), so that I can boot earlier versions of macOS with the same EFI.

I've made some changes to the project, issues and comments are welcome.

• Applies only to Hackintosh; original Macs do not have an audio tab
• Detect which audio kext is in use (AppleALC vs VoodooHDA)
• Detection of layout-id was improved to handle alc-layout-id over layout-id
• Treat OpenCore+OCLP as a Hackintosh (only when audio injection drivers are detected).

This is the data with AppleALC:

This is with VoodooHDA:

Codec and vendor are not easy to discover when using VoodooHDA.

 

Thanks for all your comments.

Tell me if you have audio tab. When you have time. Thanks.

@miliucoThis is what I see right now.

I checked my Old2 system: before and after patching AppleHDA.kext (see photos). I've found there might be an error in the assignment; ideally, it should be unpatched or something similar. In this case, it shows VoodooHDA. See the two photos before and after.

@kaoskinkae

 

Tell me if I understand well. Voodoo HDA was the former driver, now the system is patched and uses AppleHDA + AppleALC. Is this right? If this is correct, I see the screenshots as expected. Explain more to me if I haven't understand your comment.

 

@jlrycm

 

I guess that the audio tab is more complicated than I expected. I see in your screenshot that IOReg doesn't have layout-id and the audio info is poor.

There are issues to be fixed:

• AppleALC + AppleHD usually works fine, this es easier to complete since IOReg has all the required info
• VoodooHDA sometimes work, never showing all the info that AppleALC shows but driver, device-id and layout-id are displayed
• VoodooHDA sometimes has different IOREG without layout-id, and device-id has to be parsed by other method.

I see that this is a work in progress. Still not mature. Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for the feedback.

You may find codec and vendor with voodoohda using getdump utility

 

getdump.zip

[miliuco]

@Slice

I see codec and vendor in the first block of text, it's easy parse this data from this place. I don't know if getdump is installed by default when using VodooHDA pkg installers but pretty sure it's not when VoodooHDA is manually installed, without installer.

 

@chris1111

I think that your Tahoe installer doesn't contain getdump by default, maybe you can add it to the package to install it in /usr/local/bin. What do you say?

@miliuco It might be a good idea to copy the codec/vendor code from getdump to "About This Hack"

Dime si lo entiendo bien. Voodoo HDA era el controlador anterior, ahora el sistema está parcheado y usa AppleHDA + AppleALC. ¿Es correcto? Si es así, veo las capturas de pantalla como esperaba. Explícame con más detalle si no he entendido bien tu comentario.

 

@jlrycm

 

Supongo que la pestaña de audio es más complicada de lo que esperaba. Veo en tu captura de pantalla que IOReg no tiene layout-id y la información de audio es deficiente.

Hay problemas que deben solucionarse:

• AppleALC + AppleHD normalmente funciona bien, esto es más fácil de completar ya que IOReg tiene toda la información necesaria.
• VoodooHDA a veces funciona, pero nunca muestra toda la información que muestra AppleALC, aunque sí se muestran el controlador, el ID del dispositivo y el ID del diseño.
• En ocasiones, VoodooHDA tiene un IOREG diferente sin layout-id, y el device-id debe analizarse mediante otro método.

Veo que esto es un trabajo en progreso. Aún no está terminado. Disculpen las molestias y gracias por sus comentarios.

I've never used Voodoo! before. It appeared with the new version before I applied the patch with MykeInstaller and enabled AppleHDA.

[miliuco]

@kaoskinkae

Understood. This was an issue, if there was no AppleALC active the app displayed audio as Voodoo. I have replaced the latest release without this issue.

Perfect with the new version, it only activates if it's patched. OLD1:

I'm working on a way to use getdump (thanks @Slice) to get codec ID and vendor. This, added to the information that could be obtained from IOReg (driver, device-id, and layout-id), would be sufficient to be equivalent to what is obtained when AppleALC is active.

Is still is a work in progress. I'm goint to be out of home for a week, I'll come back to this when I come back.

 

My purpose is:

• Add VoodooHDA back as a different option to AppleALC
• The code must understand that if AppleALC is not active, this does not automatically mean that VoodooHDA is
• getdump can be installed in /usr/local/bin or /opt/local/bin; we need to check if getdump exists on the system. If it doesn't exist, it acts as if VoodooHDA doesn't exist either.
• The audio tab is only displayed if AppleALC is active or if VoodooHDA is active with getdump running on the system.
• If AppleALC is active, the check ends and the audio tab is displayed.
• If AppleALC is not active -> check if VoodooHDA exists -> if VoodooHDA is active -> check if getdump exists and if the output contains the information we're looking for -> the audio tab is displayed.
• If AppleALC and VoodooHDA are not active (or if VoodooHDA is active but getdump is not running) -> the audio tab is not displayed.
• Real Macs also don't display the audio tab (as before).

 

The download link of getdump is usually included in the assets of each VoodooHDA release. The latest version is available at this link.

 

When all is working fine, I'll add a reference in the README about getdump.

A beta version to test audio functionality. Any feedback is very welcome. For AppleALC / VoodoHDA users.

 

Audio info is displayed when using AppleALC.kext + AppleHDA.kext or VoodooHDA.kext + getdump.

getdump is a tool available in the VoodooHDA repository. The download link is usually found in the resources section of each VoodooHDA release. The latest version is available at this link. VoodooHDA users must have getdump installed to get the audio tab. Simply copy the tool to /usr/local/bin and that's all.

Some notes:

1. You see one monitor while the system sees two

2. Same about audio vendor

AMD is HDMI audio but I also have Realtek ALC897 analog audio. See my dump

@miliuco I reverted to the first version where you added the audio tab and changed how I defined the layout-out  in the config file device properties to read as "layout-id" instead of "voodoo-layout-id". After I made this change the audio tab shows the layout id which was not showing up if I used voodoo-layout-id.

Thanks my friend for this awesome work. Just downloaded glass version 4.1.0 👍

Not that I would need it but just for completeness: I don't have any Audio button at all: OCLP + AppleALC + Realtek ALCS1220A 7.1

 

 

 

Hola @miliuco, my friend! 

 

After:

 

xattr -cr ./About\ This\ Hack.app

 

v4.2.0 of your App starts without issues and now also shows the Audio tab 👍

 

I noticed that the Codec is reported as Realtek ALC1168, while my board (ASUS X299 Sage 10G) uses a Realtek S1220A.

 

However, Hackintool also reports the codec as ALC1168 (0x10EC1168), so this is most likely due to AppleALC mapping (S1220A → ALC1168), not an issue with your app or my SSDT.

 

I just wanted to mention it in case a more user-friendly naming (e.g. showing S1220A) would be desirable.

 

Device ID is shown as Intel 200 Series PCH HD Audio (A2F0), which seems correct for X299.

 

 

 

Your great audio feature made me revisit my audio setup, even though everything has been working perfectly for years.. 😉

 

un abrazo,

 

KGP 👍

It appears that macOS is incorrectly reporting metal support for Radeon Polaris dGPUs (reporting as Metal 3 instead of Metal 2).  Maybe "About This Hack" could maintain its own table instead of reading from macOS:

 

Metal 3 GPUs
