I understand. RehabMan could have a look at the config sound should work but doesn't work and kext is a patch to Frammebufer does't work with Sierra and I can not understand why; /

Off-topic.

Q. Audio is not working. How to fix?

Best result with patched AppleHDA. Google 'patch AppleHDA guide'. Search for suitable AppleHDA or patch it yourself. Apply appropriate DSDT patches.

Mirone has a guide for patching AppleHDA as well as a collection of already patched AppleHDA:

DSDT patches for patched AppleHDA are covered in the DSDT/SSDT patching guide: http://www.tonymacx86.com/el-capitan-laptop-support/152573-guide-patching-laptop-dsdt-ssdts.html

Note: Many laptops use audio chips that have EAPD. If yours does (check your codec dump from Linux), you'll need CodecCommander: https://github.com/RehabMan/EAPD-Codec-Commander

Note: When using AppleHDA injectors (so-called "dummy HDA"), you must rebuild cache in a very specific way when audio is lost.

- boot without caches (press spacebar for Clover menu, choose from resulting menu)
- rebuild cache:
- boot normally

You can also try VoodooHDA.kext (available in Multibeast)

Hi, I recently bought Apple's EarPods and once connected to my Hackintosh I noticed that volume and play/pause controls on it don't work while in a real Mac they work nice (what a surprise!). Why this happens and how can I workaround? Thanks in advance

No idea.
 
I'm going to replace my HDD with a SSD, and I already have the bootable USB that I created when I was installing macOS on my HDD. Can I install the OS on the SSD using the same USB or do I need to create another one?

Also, when I try to download El Capitan from the App Store, I get "This version of OS X 10.11 cannot be installed on this computer." message.

EDIT: I'm running 10.11.6 (don't want to move to Sierra due to issues)

The USB installer can be reused.

On what computer are you doing the download on?

My hackintosh (the one specified on my profile). My friend has a real Mac (late 2016) and he can't also get El Capitan, but I suspect that's because his computer came with a Sierra.
