No Audio Devices - Realtek ALC AppleHDA [Guide]

Oops, here you go. thx

I've read through the various guides regarding ACL audio numerous times however I'm unfortunately still a little confused regarding how to proceed.

I recently built a machine that uses an ASRock H97m/ITX motherboard and a skylake i5 processor. Everything seems to work apart from the ACL892 audio which I configured using Multibeast by specifying ACL892 audio and the 100 series motherboard fix. I'm not sure why this initial MultiBeast configuration didn't work however I understand that prior to running MB again that I need to first uninstall the ACL892 fixes that MB installed an reinstall the native AppleHDA kext.

states:

Uninstall Realtek ALC AppleHDA

1. MultiBeast 8.0+, remove:
   1. S/L/E/AppleHDA.kext and install the native AppleHDA.kext
      1. or S/L/E/AppleHDA.kext/Contents/Resources/layout1.zml.zlib, layout2.zml.zlib, layout3.zml.zlib, Platforms.ml.zlib
   2. config.plist/.../KextsToPatch/AppleHDA (3x)
   3. L/E/realtekALC.kext
2. cloverALC, remove:
   1. S/L/E/AppleHDA.kext and install the native AppleHDA.kext
      1. or S/L/E/AppleHDA.kext/Contents/Resources/layout1.zml.zlib, layout2.zml.zlib, layout3.zml.zlib, Platforms.zml.zlib
   2. config.plist/.../KextsToPatch/AppleHDA (3x)
   3. EFI/CLOVER/kexts/10.xx or other/realtekALC.kext

I'm assuming that the instructions listed in points 1 through 7 of this list are mutually exclusive, i.e. in my case I only need follow the instruction in 1. covering what to do if MultiBeast 8.0+ was used as the oringinal install method. Is this correct?

I have the following additional queries:

1.1 indicates that the S/L/E/AppleHDA.kext be removed and replaced with the native AppleHDA.kext. Can I simply delete the existing version of this file in S/L/E and copy in the native file?

1.2 indicates that the config.plist be modified to remove the KextsToPatch entry for AppleHDA. Do I do this using Clover Configurator, i.e. remove the entry, save the file and then copy the config file to the EFI partition?

Thanks in advance!

Toleda,

My apologies, I actually used the ASRock H170M/ITX motherboard - sorry for the confusion. Going back to your responses - are you indicating that the only thing that requires to be done prior to reinstalling the the ALC892 drivers with MultiBeast is to remove the KextsToPatch entry in config.plist? Do I simply do this using Clover Configurator?

I'll try to post the requested information/files later today.

Thanks for your continuing assistance with this issue.

 

[toleda]

remove the KextsToPatch entry in config.plist?

No, those properties are fine.
Fix your profile.

No, those properties are fine.
Fix your profile.

I'll take a look at my profile! Currently it refers to the first machine that I built rather than the one that I am working on at the present.

I'm not quite sure what your "No, those properties are fine" response implies in terms of my last query. I've attached various files to this post as requested in the "Problem Reporting" section in the hope that you may be able to identify what is wrong with my current configuration.

1. Description of audio problem

• No sound from machine and no audio devices shown System Preferences > Sound

2. OS X version/motherboard model/BIOS version/processor/graphics

• OS X 10.12.5
• ASRock H170m/ITX
• 3.1 GHz i5 processor (skylake)
• Intel 530 Graphics

Procedure/Guide Used (Realtek ALC AppleHDA, Post #1)

• Multibeast 9 : ALC892 and 100 Series kexts specified (refer to attached MB log file)

Toleda,

Looking at the files that I attached (MBLog & BootLog) I see a couple of references to ALC889. I was pretty sure that I specified ALC892 when configuring with MB but it is always possible that my fingers didn't act as instructed.

Can you confirm whether the machine is booting with the incorrect driver and, if so, the best way to replace the ALC889 driver(s) with those required for ALC892 audio.

Thanks.

Codec is 892, installed files are 889.
