[TheItalianJob]

I did what you suggest, nothing changes!. No Bluetooth.

Hi, news! Now Bluetooth si ok! I got it! But, I think It has some problem, it si unusable!. Air drop don't works with my iPhone, iPad, MacBook, Apple TV. I did try to connect a Bluetooth keyboard, no way!

Hi, in a hack like this but using only one 8Gb RAM Dimm, how should RAM settings on config.plist through clover configurator be? Slot 0, single channel and SlotCount 1?
Thanks!

It won't do audio over HDMI with the motherboard. Need a video card. What case do you have?

I see. Ok. I guess i'll have to get a gpu and new case if i want hdmi audio. I got a very small case from a local pc shop.

Audio via HDMI with Intel HD530 is working for me after running cloverHDMI. I'm on 10.12.2 but chances are high it's working on El Capitan as well.

Actually i saw this and i tried. Basically i downloaded the file and ran it. Selected Y and rebooted. But still no sound.

Maybe i didnt get it and skipped 1 and 2 (went straight to 3?)

UPDATE: i went straight to step 3. This would be good news really for those not having a GPU but only using the onboard graphics.

i still got no sound until i tried the below solution. now HDMI Audio is working for me,

specs:
GA H170N wifi
Intel HD 530 Graphics

Thought I did everything to get HDMI working but no luck! Any help is appreciated! I have a GA-Z170N-Gaming 5 motherboard.
update: fixed by disabling HDAS to HDEF in ACPI config.plist

now i got dual monitor! thanks for this!

i used the below method.

Alternatively use shilohh's app at the bottom of Post#1 here: Black Screen with MacPro 6,1 or iMac 15 or iMac 17 System Definition Restart required.

1. Disabled SIP
2. Applied the Patch
3. Reboot
4. plug in 2nd monitor

I'm using 2 HDMI monitors

GIGABYTE H170N-WIFI / BIOS version: F20

I just upgraded my BIOS to version F20. It seems to work now. Hier is what I needed to do in the BIOS to get the hackintosh to boot and work properly.

After the BIOS upgrade I did reset the BIOS (on the motherboard with a jumper on the BIOS reset pins for a second by disconnected power cable).

After reboot I opened the BIOS settings and did the following changes:

Save & Exit
--> Load Optimized Defaults

BIOS
Full Screen LOGO Show -- Enabled
Fast Boot -- Disabled
Window 8/10 Features -- Other OS
LAN PXE Boot Option ROM -- Disabled
Storage Boot Option Control -- UEFI

Peripherals

XHCI Hand-Off -- Enabled

Chipset

Internal Graphics -- Enabled
DVMT Pre-Allocated -- 64M
DVMT Total Gfx Mem -- 256M

Hello everyone, I would like to know if is possible use this chip (Mini Pci Wireless Original Broadcom 4324a-brcm1045 Wireless) instead of BCM94352Z chip, because I can not find it in my country (Brasil) and it's a pain to buy from amazon for example. Thank you.

Oh my god! This saved my life!

Thanks man!

great guide

 

[neilryan]

so my DW1560 (BCM94352Z chip) just arrived today and i installed in on the machine. it both wifi and bluetooth works. I prefer on using the bluetooth mouse but the only problem is during clover boot screen and login screen, it doesn't seem to work. the mouse only gets connected after i enter my password.

is there a way to fix this? coz i'm thinking of getting a bluetooth keyboard as well but if this doesn't work, might as well stick to the USB keyboard and mouse.
