ALC898 Audio Installation on macOS Sierra.

[VioletDragon]

Because without HDAEnabler in macOS Sierra the onboard sound card (Realtek ALC898) is not detected by system.

Are you following this guide? https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/sierra-desktop-realtek-applehda-audio.197923/

I followed this guide but "audio_cloverALC-120" says "No Audio Codec detected.", if there is no HDAEnabler.

For me audio_realtekALC-120.sh detects my ALC898 without any problem. Simply run the command and reboot, all analog input/output shows and works with volume control.
Audio was at default 1, didn't change anything in config.plist.

The only thing that does not work is digital optical.

This in on EVGA Z97 WiFi Stinger. 4790k+GTX980 installed with Web driver.

If analog audio devices show, optical/digital audio is working.

For no codec/no audio devices, see II. Problem Reporting, Post #1, No Audio Devices - Realtek ALC AppleHDA. Post to thread linked.
For no sound, See II. Problem Reporting, Post #1, No Sound - Realtek ALC AppleHDA. Post to thread linked.

I know this is a older thread but i just had to say THANK YOU! spent 2 hours trying to get audio on this Dell 8700 (free i7.. who am i to complain) and followed your steps.. perfect.. thanks a ton This was on alc898

After a lot of trial and error this is how it worked for me permanently.

• Copy „HDAEnabler1.kext“ to /System/Library/Extensions/ (https://github.com/toleda/audio_kext_enabler)
• Repair kext files with Kext Wizard, file permissions have to be changed
• Reboot
• Check with DPCI Manager if „Realtek ALC898“ is detected
• Open „audio_cloverALC-120_v1.0b0.command“ (https://github.com/toleda/audio_CloverALC)
• Confirm Realtek ALC898: y
• Clover Audio ID injection: y
• Use Audio ID: 1
• Reboot

Hope this may help you!

Best!
