Clover HDMI audio for NVIDIA & AMD cards. Easy way.

Hello,

Just wanted to check up on this to be absolutely clear. And I know that this is a discussion forum for those who have Hackintoshes, generally speaking. But I'm running into an issue with DP/HDMI audio output. Heretofore, I had a PC graphics card installed on my Mac Pro 4,1 (flashed to a 5,1), a Nvidia Geforce 650 Ti Boost. I got audio output over HDMI by installing HDMIAudio-1.1.kext and it worked splendidly. I moved up to an AMD RX480 recently, and I can no longer select the HDMI device for audio output. It is connected a DP to HDMI 2.0 converter (only so I can have 2160p60 output on my 4K TV). But I have also connected it directly to the card's HDMI port as well. Additionally, I see that that there's no driver installed for this in System Profiler.

pci1002,aaf0:

Type: Audio Controller
Driver Installed: No
MSI: No
Bus: PCI
Slot: Slot-1
Vendor ID: 0x1002
Device ID: 0xaaf0
Subsystem Vendor ID: 0x1682
Subsystem ID: 0xaaf0
Revision ID: 0x0000
Link Width: x16
Link Speed: 2.5 GT/s​

I was speculating that the RX480's PCI ID numbers aren't included in the HDMIAudio.kext package. My thought was to rip apart the HDMIAudio.kext and put in vendor and device IDs that are mentioned in the above printout. (I am not a device driver developer!) Does anybody have any ideas about how to tackle this?
 
Hi all - I've tried using this to get HDMI Audio out, but no dice. I originally was using the HDMI Audio from the intel 530 GPU on my i5-6600k CPU, but just picked up an Nvidia GTX 970. I had to add a section to the config.plist for AppleGraphicsDevicePolicy because my monitor was going to sleep mode during the boot, and that allowed me to get functioning video output. But I can't seem to get HDMI Audio output from my GTX 970, even installing this HDMIAudio 1.1 kext to s/l/e or EFI. Any ideas? I've attached my current config.plist to see if anyone can point something out that I missed. Thanks!!!

Works with my GTX970 via displayport into a 34" ultrawide Samsung. Running 10.10.5; I opened the .dmg file then installed HDMIAudio.kext via Ketx Wizard before rebuilding cache and repairing disk permissions. Oh yeah, still running Chimera on the rig as well.

Hi, no way to make it work with sierra... it was ok with 10.11 but since I've updated to sierra it doesn't work (GTX 750), on EFI folder I've created a 10.12 folder and put the keyxt in that folder and in "other" folder, any idea ?
Hey, I also upgraded from El Capitan to Sierra and found that I had lost hdmi audio having used this kext solution successfully on el cap.

I finally got this working again on Sierra though. After having put the kext in "Other" and nothing happening I cleared the Clover config.plist from any AppleHDA related kext patches. I had some stuff in there related to previous os x releases, and clearing that up made the hdmi output appear again after reboot!
