Right now using a patch made by Mirone with unknown changes to AppleHDA. But has been this way with many patches I've tried, including AppleALC+Lilu and another solution with a patch found on this board, using vanilla AppleHDA and 6 Clover patches (one disabled). Same results..

The problem: Audio is always a little distorted, regardless of volume and external or internal (headphones). There's this glitchy or poppy noise. Of course, higher volume makes it louder, but it doesn't go away when lowering. Bass is terrible.
Every 10 seconds or so, audio will disappear when watching a stream or listening to music, only to come back after a few seconds. If watching a video, it makes it go out of sync. Pausing and playing puts it into sync again, until next time it happens.

I have compared with Win10 on same laptop, where it sounds good.

Any suggestions? Running 11.6.

The problem: Audio is always a little distorted, regardless of volume and external or internal (headphones). There's this glitchy or poppy noise. Of course, higher volume makes it louder, but it doesn't go away when lowering. Bass is terrible.
Every 10 seconds or so, audio will disappear when watching a stream or listening to music, only to come back after a few seconds. If watching a video, it makes it go out of sync. Pausing and playing puts it into sync again, until next time it happens.

I have compared with Win10 on same laptop, where it sounds good.

Any suggestions? Running 11.6.

You will probably need CodeCommander.kext with custom SSDT. See examples in CodecCommander repo. Correlate correct nodes with your codec dump.
 
SSDT*.dsl
I made a new patch myself using Mirones AppleHDAPatcher. Applied ID's for my board. Starting with vanilla AppleHDA and clean (audio-wise it's clean) DSDT. Using Clover Hotpatch HDAS-HDEF. No KextToPatches.

Got my new KextToPatches, and aDummyHDA. Applied the patches in Clover. Got vanilla CodecCommander. Installed all to SLE.

AppleHDA is loaded in IOReg. There are Input and Output variables. Volume keys and mute keys work. Mic work. Audio doesn't work. iTunes won't play.

I suspect this is a CodecCommander issue. I found the DSL/SSDTs now, but I am unsure of what to change or apply. Is there somewhere I can read what commands I need? This one for example:

0x21 SET_UNSOLICITED_ENABLE 0x83

How do I know it should be 0x21? How do I know what SET UNSOLICITED ENABLE does? How do I know it needs to have value 0x83? What other commands do I need?

edit: I figured out some parts.. for example:

// Node 0x1a - Pin Control (In Enable / VRefEn)
"Command", Buffer() { 0x01, 0x1a, 0x07, 0x24 },
"On Init", ">y",
"On Sleep", ">n",
"On Wake", ">y",
The second value here, targets Node 0x1a. Easy. But in this one:


// 0x15 SET_UNSOLICITED_ENABLE 0x83
"Command", Buffer() { 0x01, 0x57, 0x08, 0x83 },
"On Init", ">y",
"On Sleep", ">n",
"On Wake", ">y",

0x57? Doesn't match 0x15? But evidently it has something to do with 0x83. But then, what does the last value 0x24 in the first example above mean?

And one example uses 0x07 to enable, the other one 0x08?

IOREG and /CLOVER/ attached.

Thanks Rehab!!

Your ioreg shows audio working.
How are you testing audio?
Did you enable feedback when you change the volume (SysPrefs->Sound)? That way you at least get an easy/basic way to test audio...

Yes, I know. But nothing comes out. Not from system sounds, not from iTunes. Pressing Play in itunes does nothing, player is stuck at 0:00. This has happened before when I used patches from other people. Means there is still something left to do, but dont know what it is.

Maybe because your ACPI setup is wrong. You forgot to apply "IRQ Fix" to your DSDT.
