Realtek ALC1220 (S1220A) Owner Thread

Status
Not open for further replies.
Hi I've made my first Hackbuild and it's my fist MacOs experience.
Build based on Kalby Lake and Gigabyte GA-Z270X-UD5
Audio:

  1. Realtek® ALC1220 codec (So Asus uses ALC S1220A and other manufacturers ALC1220)
  2. Support for Sound Blaster X-Fi MB5
  3. TI NE5532 operational amplifier
  4. High Definition Audio
  5. 2/4/5.1/7.1-channel
  6. Support for S/PDIF Out
What is the best solution for audio?
I have Edifier e25HD Luna speakers with S/PDIF Out support . How can I enable S/PDIF?
AppleHDA for Realtek ALC1220
VoodooHDA.kext2.8.9

AppleALC 1.1.0 with Lilu

 
So Asus uses ALC S1220A and other manufacturers ALC1220
No. Asus/Maximus/S1220 and all other manufacturers use the ALC1220 (id: 0x1220). Asus/Strix/S1220A uses the ALC1220 (id: 0x1168).

See Post #23 for link to cloverALC/BETA script; supports both codecs.

Thank you! I'll try to figure out.

I'm using AppleALC, works flawlessly. I had weird sudden HDMI reboots with AppleHDA.
 
The following mathod worked for me. All is working but still have to check the SPDIF

Move Lilu.kext and AppleALC.kext to /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/10.12
Add patches in Clover Configurator
Add patches in DSDT
ACPI –> DSDT–> Patches –> +
  • Comment: change HDAS to HDEF
    Find: 48444153
    Replace: 48444546
  • Comment: change HECI to IMEI
    Find: 48454349
    Replace: 494d4549


Change Audio ID 1 to 11

Devices–>Audio–> Change 1 To 11

 
VoodooHDA.kext2.8.9 worked for me for line out, but I couldn't get it to output to the rear speakers as well (I have 4 speakers although technically my sound card supports 7.1). With the method suggested by @RomanoSoprano here (see section on audio) I was able to get both the rear and front speakers working! Now I just need to figure out how to use the outputs to play surround sound...

Edit: Looks like you can get surround working using "Audio MIDI Setup" which is a built in app!

hi guys. for those looking for a quick and simply solution, I have this:
applealc.kext + lilu.kext with original and unmodified applehda.kext and then use the correct layout from clover config.plist.
obviously follow the applealc guide.
in my case I have the alc1220 and to have sound both from internal audio card from Nvidia pascal (only from display port) I have to use audio layout 7
 
layout id changed to 7

Hello RomanoSoprano,

I finally got around to making the change on the audio setting, 1 to 11. And it worked! I can plug headphones in and presto the audio works and the setting changes from Internal Speakers to Headphones. It works in complete reverse when headphones are disconnected. Thank you for the info. After this weekend I'll post the system details.

Hi there, just wanna know how do you made it on Sierra 10.12.4. I've a Gigabyte H270N-Wifi mobo (Kaby Lake chipset) , nVidia Geforce GTX 1050 graphics card, and using DisplayPort to HDMI cable to connect the machine to a 32" LED TV, everything works except sound. With AppleALC+Lilu kext, line out/ear phone/SPDIF all shown in System Preference-->Sound, but when I plug in a speaker, it indeed has no sound, getta plug in an USB speaker to play music.......
I've already run audio_cloverHDMI-120_v1.0d script and change the audio layout to 7 in Clover's config.plist, still couldn't get HDMI/DP audio, any hint you can give me? Thanks in advance :)
