wildwillow's Dual Boot Skylake Build : Asus Z170 Deluxe - i5-6600K - GTX970 SSC - 32GB RAM

[wildwillow]

Thank you for prompt reply. I didn't know what was wrong, I just updated my bios to 1702, and did the whole installation all over again. Everything is ok. No sound though, and waiting for wifi/bt guide.
Btw, IOAPIC 24-119 Entries are still present under Advanced > PCH Configuration > IOAPIC 24-119 entries.

Glad you've managed to install ok. No sound, could you be more specific. No devices shown? no audio coming from your speakers? IOAPIC 24-119 is no longer required in 10.11.4, Yes I noticed this too as I updated my BIOS for testing a couple of days ago.

While we are waiting for wifi/bt guide, I want to buy apple keyboard and trackpad. Would you suggest to but wireless or wired keyboard? I assume that wired keyboard would be more realible. How realible is wireless keyboard with this setup?

About audio, when I plug my usb dell soundbar and reboot, sound start to works(even without soundbar).

I could only recommend an Apple wired keyboard as that is what I own, I've not used/tested the wireless keyboard. Wireless keyboards work well for many users and I'd see no reason for one not to work with our Bluetooth. My trackpad is working perfectly, but I also have an Apple wired Mouse, That being said with wireless I'd like to note here that wireless keyboards do not work in the BIOS. It has been documented to work using a GMYLE USB bluetooth adapter but again, I've not tested this.

How are you connected to your soundbar? 3.5mm jack, optical?

No output/input drvice is shown.

1. How are you connected to your soundbar? 3.5mm jack, optical?

It's USB Dell AC511 Soundbar, and the strange thing is that I can control volume level via soundbar but no sound coming from it.

Thats because its getting the power from the USB, I've not got this device so I can offer some basic support to try and get it going, if this fails I'd check Mac compatibility and search/post in the Audio support forum.

Which USB port are you using, Have you installed the USB methods documented in Post#1? Open Applications/Utilities/Audio Midi Setup and see if you can create an aggregate output device. One more question did you install Audio from MultiBeast. I'm not sure if this relevant to USB audio, but for MultiBeast audio/CloverALC to work we need to rename HDAS to HDEF via Clover/ACPI/DSDT patches.

I've got another problem. I tried to shutdown my hackintosh, but I didn't work, screen went black, but I still could hear that it was running. I waited for 5 minutes, and mutually turn my system off. On the reboot I got this message.

I didn't do any overclocking. I used SSDT-i7-6700K.aml from here [Guide] El Capitan on the Skylake H170N-WIFI.
What could this be?
I really need this machine to work, my MacBook Pro is going to apple for servicing.

This is probably caused by you forcing your system to shut down. The key thing here is to boot back into OS X, take a look in Applications/Utilities/console to see if there is a log report, cause of preventing shutdown at the time of the switch off. You can safely remove any USB peripherals, disconnect connected Optical drives to see if its hardware preventing shutdown in the OS X environment.

I don't understand much about it, but I don't see anything out of ordinary.

I did everything from Post#1 up until HDMI audio.

My Monitor has USB hub, and it was connected to USB 3.1. I connect hub->Soundbar to USB 3.0, now i can see soundbar in output devices.

What I don't understand why audio doesn't work without soundbar.

Nothing stands out as to why your system crashed, suggest to keep using it to gather more information if it happens again. The log above just looks like its going through the routine of normal shutdown.

I did everything from Post#1 up until HDMI audio.

What I don't understand why audio doesn't work without soundbar.

What do you mean audio doesn't work without USB soundbar? Have you got speakers plugged into the Black line out port on the back of the motherboard? Optical connection?

Or do mean there are no Devices to choose from in System Preferences after running MultiBeast?
