I'm still a little fuzzy about which kexts go in SLE vs LE.

Does not matter. /S/L/E and /L/E are equivalent.
I install kexts to /L/E because it is what Apple recommends and there is less there to begin with, so it makes it easier to see the kexts related to hackintosh.

I suspect you do not have the latest ACPIBatteryManager.kext.
Current version is 1.81.3.
You can see which version you're running in ioreg (look at AppleSmartBatteryManager node, property RM,Version).
Hint: Had you provided a correct ioreg (eg. from IORegistryExplorer v2.1), I would have checked it for you...

Yes, i had the previous version of kexts, latest fix the problem with low battery indication. Thanks!

Thanks for the testing/confirmation.

Another month... another BIOS update.

v2.2.1 is out, with some pretty major changes, including an EC and USB firmware update. So far so good, am running some further tests but system looks stable.

@jkbuha have you checked to see if the set of variables #'s have changed or have they stayed the same?

 

[jkbuha]

A quick diff shows they've all stayed the same.

Apparently some TB features have been fixed in the latest firmware but I don't really use that port so maybe someone else can confirm.

Tested as well and all working fine. USB-C to HDMI works fine too.

Is anyone else having audio playback issues? My specific problem is that speaker audio output will not work after sleep unless I open the "Sound" System Preferences window to the "Input" section. This only happens sometimes while other times it works flawlessly. Is there something I need to do from the FAQ in order to fix this? I thought sound was working with all of the SSDT patches provided in the included zip.

Never had issues. Are you sure you installed everything correctly, including codecommander?
