1. Description of audio problem : Audio OK after boot but only cracking sounds after sleep (inputs and outputs still there in system preferences)
2. OS X version: 10.13.4 /Gigabyte GA-Z97X-UD5H /BIOS version: F10 (last) /processor: Intel Core i7 4790k /graphics: GTX 1050 Ti
3. Procedure/Guide Used : clover install à audio_cloverALC-130_v0.5.command

https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/applehda-realtek-audio-guide.234732/

- Removed all older installs (AppleHDA.kext, realtekALC.kext, config.plist entries, Lilu.kext)

- Installed S/L/E/AppleHDA.kext (extracted original file from High Sierra installer with Pacifist and installed with Kext Utility)

- Disabled SIP

I’ve been using this clover method for a while and, before updating to 10.13.6 some days ago, it worked well…

I also tried removing everything and applied the Multibeast 10.4 or 11.0 methods, but it wasn’t better.
Even gave a try with Reset Apple HDA app, which I used in the past for this kind of problem.

Here is a link to my config.plist
https://www.dropbox.com/s/4i7fex6mfybw04f/config.plist?dl=0


Can you help me please?
