A successful audio installation is required for working Mavericks audio. Of all the audio choices available, only one choice enables Realtek ALC audio for a specific system. The wrong choice, any other choice but the correct choice, will result in audio failure. This Guide applies to Mavericks 10.9 and newer and the Realtek ALC AppleHDA.kext_v2.5.2 and newer.

Audio success questions (1 correct answer for each question)

  1. What Codec? ALC885, 887, 888, 889, 892, 898 or 1150
  2. Which Audio ID? 1, 2 or 3
  3. What Injection? kext, dsdt, ssdt, Clover, Chameleon, Chimera

Sorry Toleda after wrote the message I realised. I changed my Bios 2 weeks ago. I have 2 bios one is original other for back up and others v.2302. Probably I replace the wrong one. Sorry again probably after replace right one your new kext will work as usual.

Edit: After changing original bios with my custom bios all sounds come back. ALC892 working perfectly thank you Toleda...
 
Mavericks: No Audio - Realtek ALC AppleHDA

Description of audio problem, including the following information:

I don't see any audio devices in system preferences. I can use Voodoo, but this requires me to force reload all Kexts at boot. The problem appears to be the layout ID - does not match anything on the list - IOReg has <0c 00 00 00>. Do I just go in and change this? I don't want to do anything that causes my system to not boot.


OS X version/motherboard model/BIOS version/processor/graphics: 10.9; GA-Z78M-D3H; version 5 bios; Intel i5 4670K; EVGA GeForce GTX 650

Procedure/Guide Used/AppleHDA.kext version: No DSDT; HDEnabler1, ALC892. I also tried HDEnabler2

Extra/dsdt.aml: Not installed
Copy of IOReg - IOReg/File/Save a Copy As…, verify file (not ioreg.txt), see Tools/2: Attached.
Console/All Messages/kernel Sound assertions selected/Save Selection As…..: Attached
Screenshot of System Information/Hardware/Audio/Intel High Definition Audio (not Devices): Attached

I also included a screen shot from DCPI Manager. I shows two audio devices. The ALC892 and Codec ID do match.

Thanks for any help

If you are using a dsdt, check HDEF/layout-id. Otherwise, there is another enabler somewhere in your system. Edit the dsdt or remove the enabler. For dsdt see ML: How to Add or Edit dsdt/HDEF

There was another enabler in my system. I found it in the /Extra folder. Fixed and everything is working fine.

Hello Toleda,

I have acer 5935G laptop. I installed Mavericks and multi beast 6.0 with ALC 899 without DSDT.

I can see in Sound section my sound list. But but I cannot hear the sound. Could you please help me about what I have to do ?

thanks a lot for now.
 
New to Hackintosh and been struggling A LOT with sound. Read every blog I could find on this but it is all greek to me (not very IT Literate...). So can anyone PLEASE assist me in fixing this. I REALY need to get the sound working. I tried the MultiBeast but it doesn't seems to work. The sound icon is greyed out on my menu bar and it keeps telling me that there is no input nor any output devices. I have a additional build in soundcard which I can't find a driver for. Please help! It's urgent!
