do i have to upgrade the bios of dell 7348 to A09 in order to install sierra?

Thanks for this guide! Using it, I was able to get Sierra 10.12.2 working on this laptop. The only hiccup I had was with the Audio card, which didn't work with the attached kexts. VoodooALC did the job.

Gotta go after the Broadcom wifi card now.

Thanks!

I was able to successfully install Sierra 10.12.2 using A08, so no. There's no need to update to A09.

Thanks for the guide, it works fine even with macOS Sierra 10.12.3, except for the audio.

Update 3: New AppleHDADummy.kext

Neither of the two kexts supports macOS Sierra, but the aDummyHDA.kext generated by AppleHDAPatcher v1.6 does. You may want to update again and add this kext:

It really depends on how clean your system is implemented...

Which mic are you referring to? (internal or external?)

External never work for me. i hope it does. for now i am talking about internal. If there is something about how to enable external mic that would be great also.
