There is no Problem with HDMI/DP Audio...

Just for those who dont know what to inject in dsdt... or clover...
And Voodoohda is absolutely old crap... do it proper with applehda...

Just an Example how i do it with Clover (Arbitary)
Code:

I have 2 Displays connected, but here a small howto:

1. disconnect your second monitor if you have a second monitor
2. open ioreg, check where your display0 is located (under NVDA,Display-A@0 or NVDA,Display-B@1 etc...)
3. you need to change in the code above @2,connector-type to @1,connector-type or @0,connector-type (depends where your display0 is located in ioreg) but you can do it easy and make multiple connector-type's, just inject all @0,connector-type, @1,connector-type, @2,connector-type, @3,connector-type etc... this doesnt really matter, im injecting only one, because i dont need dp/hdmi audio in the other ports... but it doesnt matter, you wont break anything, if you inject it on every connector...

4. Optional @2,AAPL,boot-display : you dont need this if you use only one monitor, but you need if you use multiple monitors... like me... My Hack doesnt boot without it with multiple monitors connected.
Just check where your main display is connected at, same as above and change @2,AAPL,boot-display to @0 @1 @2 @3,AAPL,boot-display etc... this entry cant be multiple.



Next, you need to inject via SSDT your HDAU device,

1. Open ioregistryeditor, goto your Nvidia Device and check the name...
For Example:
My GTX 1060 is located in Ioregistryeditor under PCI0 -> PEG0 -> GFX0
but your device can be under PCI0 -> PEG2 -> PEGP (or anything else...)

2. Check the Code below there are 3 lines:
Line 1: External (_SB_.PCI0.PEG0.GFX0, DeviceObj)
Line 2: Scope (_SB.PCI0.PEG0.GFX0)
Line 3: Device (_SB.PCI0.PEG0.HDAU)

Change that lines to your matching, for example, if you have under ioreg: PCI0 -> PEG2 -> PEGP
the lines should look this:
Line 1: External (_SB_.PCI0.PEG2.PEGP, DeviceObj)
Line 2: Scope (_SB.PCI0.PEG2.PEGP)
Line 3: Device (_SB.PCI0.PEG2.HDAU)

Code:
DefinitionBlock ("", "SSDT", 1, "APPLE ", "gfxhdau", 0x00000000)
{
    External (_SB_.PCI0.PEG0.GFX0, DeviceObj)

    Scope (_SB.PCI0.PEG0.GFX0)
    {
        Name (_SUN, One)  // _SUN: Slot Number
    }

    Device (_SB.PCI0.PEG0.HDAU)
    {
        Name (_ADR, One)
        Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized)
        {
            If (LEqual (Arg2, Zero))
            {
                Return (Buffer (One)
                {
                     0x03                                         
                })
            }

            Return (Package (0x04)
            {
                "layout-id",
                Buffer (0x04)
                {
                     0x01, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00                       
                },

                "hda-gfx",
                Buffer (0x0A)
                {
                    "onboard-2"
                }
            })
        }
    }
}

If you still didn't get it, dont ask, google and search... its simple... nvidia released drivers and everything works, if its not working for you, go and search.

@TeK9Samurai
I meant not you exactly, i write this to every noob here

Cheers :)

So I have tried your suggestion but cannot seem to get audio working over DP.
Display is @4 which I changed and port is PEGP, which I changed as well.
Cannot get this to work.

Thoughts.
 
It might indeed be PCIe 1 rather than 2
View attachment 249266

Interesting! I can't see what my 1060 is running at because the PCI section of System Information won't populate: "There was an error while gathering PCI device information."

CUDA-Z shows Host-to-Device performance at ~5.7 GiB/s and Device-to-Host at ~6.3 GiB/s, which is PCIe 2, correct?

Hey, I was running Witcher 2 on my hack using the newly released Pascal Web drivers and during the opening cut scene where the guy throws the freezing tube, as soon as the glass breaks my hack restarted. Anybody else have that problem?

Which graphics card are you using ?

State your motherboard, graphics, cpu specs here.
 
Cannot get my GTX 1080 to work. After installing the web drivers the preference pane doesn't even show the GPU. It's an MSI Gaming Pro AC Mobo Z170I, i7 6700K, running a monitor through the display port (this monitor only supports DP). Edited the config file for loading NVIDIA web drivers as suggested by this site, but with no luck. Not sure what to do at this point.

You should see if EmuVariableUefi-64 if installed. Run latest Clover installer and check the box for this under customize.

Then it should work.

The brand of nVidia GPU doesn't really matter...
 
Ok- after months of waiting (like most here), I was able to get my 1070/Mac running with the Pascal Beta drivers and Sierra- Yay! (Hats off to tonymacx86... this has to be the easiest rebuild ever). The only odd thing, and this might be because of the beta status of the drivers, is that "About This Mac" doesn't identify my 1070 card or it's memory correctly. It only says, "Graphics Unknown 256 MB" (Gah!). Otherwise, all is great.

I did install an update that came in tonight on the Pascal drivers; it didn't fix the stuff above, but my screen colors inverted on install! (Whoops!) Sure enough, I hit that setting last night by accident (under System Preferences-Accessibiliy) and it did nothing then, so I forgot about it. Tonight's update apparently took care of that! Lol. (I undid the now working Invert colors setting)

Anyway, let me know if any of you are getting a correct GPU ID in the About This Mac Graphics header...

My system:

i5 - 44xx (I truly can't remember) 3.2GHz
ASRock z97 Extreme 6
32 GB RAM
Gigabyte G1 GeForce 1070 GPU (8GB RAM)
 
Hi, I am using same graphic card as your, but when I open "about this mac" dialog, only show Intel HD630 in Graphics lines

both graphics work fine.
