No Sound - Realtek ALC AppleHDA [Guide]

[thisguyiknow]

Understood -- but before I provide all that information can I provide you with the codec dumps and info from Windows to see if this codec is even supported?

Supermicro X8dah
Realtek 888 (though OSX sees it as 3a3e [ALC1200/888] Windows see the audio device as 888 but using the 886 codec - same as Linux. So is it even possible to get audio working on this system using the 886 codec?

1- No audio from any jacks – audio devices are seen in system – no sound assertion errors.


*Using patched AppleHDA [attached]

*Using a kext injector for ‘configdata’ [attached]


2- 10.6.8

SuperMicro X8DAH+F+LR, latest and final BIOS Version [X8DAHLR1.624]

(2X) XEON 5680 CPU(S)

NVIDIA GTX 480 [FLASHED FOR MAC]


3- N/A: USING CUSTOM LAYOUT, PLATFORM XML’S, PATCHED HDA, AND CONFIG DATA INJECTOR KEXT


4- IOREG- ATTACHED


5- APPLEHDA- ATTACHED


6- INJECTOR KEXT- ATTACHED


7- N/A- NO SOUND ASSERTIONS PRESENT


8-


a- N/A- DPCIManager not compatible with 10.6.8

b- Attached

c- Attached


9- N/A


10- CLOVER CONFIG LIST- ATTACHED


11- N/A



I have also attached my DSDT and codecgraph dumps – I believe the problem has to do with EAPD though I have patched the pinconfigs for EAPD on the nodes with EAPD. I have two lineouts each with EAPD node 20 and 21. EAPD



PS- I have to use Snow Leopard on this machine because it is a Pro Tools box in a studio. Getting audio to work through AVID devices is no problem so it is functioning as a DAW computer but some of the other engineers don’t like using Ableton Live with anything but onboard sound. This machine is ‘stuck’ in 10.6.8 [though this was best OSX version in my opinion] because the cost of making a new Pro Tools machine with all the software and plugins would set us back about $30,000

No audio from any jacks

This is the work of a different developer, no knowledge of this method.
Suggestions
1. Headphones (front panel green) is connected, mutes motherboard green. If nothing is connected to front panel green, case or connector failure. Disconnect front panel and verify motherboard sound.
2. Install native AppleHDA.kext and remove injector kext. Run Realtek ALC AppleHDA/cloverALC. Reply with new files,

1) Sound options show up with multiple outputs but no audio out of the speakers. Every time I try to open a song or a video, it does not play at all.

2) 10.13 upgrade from 10.12 (sound worked fine on 10.12 / MSI Z270A-Pro / BIOS 7A71v13 / 7700k / 1080Ti

3) Used audio_cloverALC-130_v0.3.command with y/y/y
1. Attached.

4) Attached

5) Attached

6) None

7) What?

8) Attached

9) Not installed.

11) Logitech Z623, green plug into the green port on motherboard

Selections are: Digital Out, Internal Speakers, Line Out, Line Out, Dell Display

None work when switched to.

System is dual booted on separate SSDs, one for Windows 10 Pro and one for Mac OS High Sierra

I was about to reinstall everything and now the sound works on everything except one website that says my media player on the browser is not compatible. Thank you very much Toledo. You have been instrumental in my first build!!!

Hi there,
I finally got my Mac apps working But when I use FaceTime it seems that the audio works so I can hear who I’m speaking to but when I try to reply there seems to be no microphone hearing what I am saying so the person on the other end does not hear my sound. Any ideas of what I should do would be appreciated. Thanks

Logitech Z623, green plug into the green port on motherboard

What selection?

 

[toleda]

there seems to be no microphone

What microphone?

 

[RTek]

What microphone?

'microphone' as in a type of audio input so I can speak to someone over facetime. I can hear them but they can't hear me.
