Hi, setting up El Capitan as a fresh install via UEFI/Clover, I am unable to get audio up.

Specs:

Intel i7 920
Intel DX58SO motherboard with latest BIOS
Nvidia GTX 760

I used the tolled ALC-110 script, which shows 4 audio devices, Headphone, Line Out, Line Out, and Digital Out.
Front panel audio works with Line Out #2, but none to the motherboard ports are working.

Attached are the appropriate files.

Any help would be appreciated.

If you mean physically remove headphones, it causes no change, I discovered the from panel jacks worked by plugging them in. If you refer to removing them from sound devices, I am not sure how to accomplish that. Thank you for the reply
 
Hi, could you please tell me the process that you use to install the El Capitan in DX58SO? I managed to successfully install to the HD, but after install I can only boot from the USB, with the HD it does not boot.

Thank you,
 
can you fully define ... 'working like a charm'?

any features of the board not working

have you customized the clover boot loader... what changes did you make

what settings did you use for the post install

thanks

Ok, I mean that everything is running smoothly: video, audio, ethernet, USB ports etc.

Summarized steps that I used in the installation:

1. Update BIOS with the latest update (year 2013, ver. 5600) from Intel web site (use Windows to run Express Bios Update);
2. Create a Bootable USB stick with UniBeast but partition USB stick with MBR instead GUID, set Legacy Boot Mode and copy DSDT file to EFI folder in USB stick after creation;
3. Boot from USB stick, format HD with DiskUtility as GUID, HFS journaled and install El Capitan;
4. Reboot, complete El Capitan setup and when reach desktop, download Nvidia Web Drivers and install;
5. Run MultiBeast, select Clover with UEFI Boot Mode, ALC 889, machine as MacPro 5,1;
6. Copy DSDT to EFI partition and run Clover Configurator with nv_drv=1, graphics enabler = no, boot in hires, quick boot, FixHPET, AddDTGP, AddMCHC, FixDarwin, FixIPIC and FixUSB;
7. Reboot and done.

My hardware:
MoBo Intel DX58SO (ALC 889, USB ports, FireWire and ethernet working), 3 x 4Gb Tripple Channel DDR3 RAM (12Gb), Intel i7 920 processor, 3 x 1Tb HDD, Nvidia GTX 970 graphics card, 2 x 23" LCD monitors (both working in OS X), DLink DWA-125 wireless USB (working with Bear Extender Driver), a cheap USB Bluetooth stick (working with native OS support), LG BluRay recorder (working with native OS support), USB 3 PCI Ex board (with native OS support), USB Microsoft wireless mouse and a wired USB keyboard. Running Mac OS X El Capitan ver. 10.11.3.
 
thanks for the update...

did you customize your own DSDT or did you download it?

I have my DX58SO still running USL on 10.6.x and USL is so good it looks like a real mac even to apple but that project is all but dead.

This is my goto machine for photoshop and well everything so I am hesitant to upgrade.. it uses an older bios and not sure if it will work with 5600 or not.. I guess I could downgrade back to the original bios but if I remember the USL method actually injeced serial numbers into the bios .. not sure if I still have that backup file..

keep us posted..

The performance is great with El Capitan. This is my first time with Clover but I'm enjoying it a lot. Much better than Chimera.

I am using a DSDT downloaded a long time ago when I installed Snow Leopard and I have been using it until now in all my upgrades of Mac OS X.

Cheers,
