No Audio Devices - Realtek ALC AppleHDA [Guide]

Status
Not open for further replies.
Hi, I have no i/o devices found on my new build:
• 10.11.6
• Gigabyte Z170X Gaming 5 (1150)
• BIOS version F3
• i7 6700K
• Gigabyte 980 Ti

I installed the MacOS following the Installation Guide, doing the Multibeast post install (checking 1150).
Then to get my 980 Ti working I downloaded alternate Nvidia drivers, and Clover EFI v2 with "EmuVariableUefi-64", "Install RC scripts on target volume" and then I added "nvda_drv=1" in clover's config.plist.
"nvda_drv=1" is now gone (don't know why) but the 980 Ti works fine.

Audio codec detect 1.7 returns:
No audio codec detected
Verify BIOS, hardware, etc.

Following the III NO Codec advice, I have:
verified that I have no -x in config.plist (step 1.1)
reset codec (step 1.4)
I don't know how to check "Boot Installer USB" or "BIOS/Peripherals/HD Audio/disabled" (steps 1.2 and 1.3)
I do have sound on Windows

Attached you will find:
• ioreg
• appleHDA.kext
• DPCIManager/Status
• audio_realtekALC-110...command print
• EFI/CLOVER/config.plist
• DPCIManager/Misc/Boot Log

Thank you!

No Audio Devices - Realtek ALC AppleHDA [Guide]
Realtek ALC/Desktop: 269*, 283*, 885, 887, 888, 892, 898 and 1150 on board audio (* BRIX/NUC only)
Supports OS X: 10.11, 10.10, 10.9 and 10.8

Change Log
v1.1 - 12/5/2015: El Captain, MultiBeast 8, 100 Series/Skylake and X99
(100 Series and X99, see Note: Unsupported/Non-working Realtek ALC AppleHDA, below)​

Posts to this thread must include the information requested in II. Problem Reporting. Any post without attachments may be removed without warning.

A successful audio installation is required for working OS X/AppleHDA.kext audio. Most "No audio output (input) devices" errors are caused by an incorrect installation; usually, the wrong choice is selected. Of all the audio choices available, only one choice enables Realtek ALC audio for a specific system. The correct choice results in working audio devices.

If System Preferences/Sound/Output shows audio output devices, see No Sound - Realtek ALC AppleHDA

Note: OS X/AppleHDA.kext does not support specific hardware, see Unsupported/Non working Realtek ALC AppleHA, Post #1, Audio - Realtek ALC AppleHDA for workarounds.

Hello, finally I could install OSX version 10.11.6 on my gigabyte-z170x gaming 7, since I only waited out a new version of OSX to be compatible.
The only thing I need and can not run is the onboard Creative plate SoundRecon3Di I think brings the CA-0132 chip.
Not that kext should use the EFI partition on the SSD, or change in the system, if I have to generate the DSDT file using DPCIManager do not know how to recognize it modify the system.
Someone could guide me? I tried methods such as Andres ZeroCross which was to modify a .zlib in AppleHDA.kext kext files (if not then go on duty EFI \ CLOVER \ kext \ 10.11 or elsewhere. Then load the kext said of Creative-CA0132. kext in EFI \ CLOVER \ kext \ 10.11 but does not recognize it. no whether to modificarle the Layout ID in clover. I did many tests without success.
I read the post and download the file AppleALC. From what I could see is the version 1.0.14 which is published for the CA-0132 chip according gitHub.com page saw on this page where well explained. I also downloaded the newest version, which is 1.0.15. Anyway not continue exactly as it is, by kextutily I returned to install the original copy of AppleHDA and erased from that directory S / L / E AppleHDADisabler the VoodooHDA and files. But that argument or not patch should be placed in the clover, if it must be done. Not if I have to put inject, or if any of the options you have now loaded in clover wrong. The AppleALC file should be placed in EFI / CLOVER / kext / 10.11 not? No need to install it on the system by kextutility?
Do not understand why my mother and integrated accessories like Creative SoundBlaster sound Recon3Di is not directly supported by this version of OSX 10.11.6, still you have to patching?
You can check the link back to my dropbox which went up images of DPCIManager info and ioreg program (not if I do some change there).
Attached is my PC configuration to see if someone can help me.

Thank you very much

Hi, before the bad news i would like to thank everybody in this community for their support. I have learned lots of new things and feels nice. It’s important to know that this is my first built, so if i’m lost in the obviousness i excuse myself.

1. Now, i installed El Capitan 10.11.6 without any terrible situation except for the No Audio Devices issue. As far as i know the Gigabyte z170x-UD5 TH is not a supported motherboard. So i’ve been trying to figure out what the hell is going on. I can’t change the Audio ID which is 0 and i can’t find the AppleHDA.kext on S/L/E (extracted with Pacifist from the UniBeast USB since i couldn’t run the installer over the current installation)

2. OS X = El Capitan 10.11.6
Motherboard = Gigabyte z170x-UD5 TH
BIOS = F2
Processor = Intel i7 6700k
Graphics = EVGA GTX 980 Ti Hybrid

3. I tried the 3 methods (hoping to have uninstalled properly one before the other) of the Unsupported/Non-Working guide. Already tried modifying the config.plist, and also tried to use the MaciASL method, which threw some errors. IOJones keeps saying layout-id=00 00 00 00. The MultiBeast selections were ALC1150 and 100 Series Audio.

4. attached.
5. attached.
6. Can’t find it there, but this is the extracted file with Pacifist from the UniBeast USB.
7. Non-existant or i can’t find it even in the hidden files.
8. attached.
9. attached.
10. attached.
11. -
12. attached.

Hope this is just a noob mistake and nothing else.

Thank you for this great stuff you’re doing, big fan of yours.

@toleda. Thank you, I will do that tonight when I get home. I will run the installer then i guess post the files again, because i don't think it will fix it, as the audio didn't work in the beginning after updating from EC, before i messed with it in any way. Is there anything else you think i should do, after re-installing? Or i guess you don't know until you see the files right? Thank you again. Not to be a "suck-up", but i admire people with your knowledge / experience that are willing to help others learn. I try to be the same (don't know enough about Hackintosh's haha). cheers.
