I have a Gigabyte UD7 w/ dual thunderbolts running Intel HD4600 integrated graphics. I recently upgraded the machine to macOS Sierra which is booting normally and for the most part working well. I am in a spot of trouble trying to install the kext for the ALC898 6 port integrated sound card. Steps I took were as follows:
1. Manually copy the HDAEnabler1.kext from Toledo to /System/Library/Extensions
2. Use the kextcache command to rebuild the caches. I don't remember the exact two commands I supplied. I googled it.
Upon rebooting into macOS and finding that the integrated sound card is still not recognized by macOS Sierra I decided to copy the kext to the kexts/other folder of my EFI partition and also modify my config.plist to force load the HDAEnabler1.kext.
Upon booting again into macOS Sierra I found that the ALC898 integrated sound card is still not recognized by macOS Sierra.
Has anyone successfully installed said ALC898 audio on macOS Sierra? Is there a known set of instructions available for this card? Does anyone know where I've gone wrong? I read the sticky for Realtek Audio in this macOS Sierra forum however they are talking about an ALC120 not an ALC898.
Thank you.
