[Guide] Intel NUC7/NUC8 using Clover UEFI (NUC7i7Bxx,NUC8i7Bxx,etc)

[Leesureone]

thanks to @Leesureone for great work! Just installed opencore_nuc8_059 on my nuc8i5, works smooth, except one thing - AirDrop =(
Leesureone, could you help me with it ?

Well unless you have a WiFi / Bluetooth card installed that is recognized by OSX as native it’s not ever going to work. Those are the basic requirements.

Maybe try turning off Thunderbolt in the bios to see if forcing to to run USBc helps? Either that or try changing it to Thunderbolt "Legacy" mode in the security tab?
The other thing you can try is changing the layout ID in the config.plist under the NVRAM/ ADD section where the boot arguments reside to 28.


-v keepsyms=1 debug=0x100 alcid=1. Change 1 to 28

question, if you already set your audio on the config.plist, if you change alcid to a different layout on bootargs, which one takes priority?

The boot argument does. Messing with that right now on the NUC10

Any chance you can look into my situation? Thanks for helping )

Tough to understand what's up with your sound situation. Any reason you have to unplug and plug it back in frequently? You can always use Windows to check which audio codec you need and then add the information to the config.plist under Devices/ Add but I've never had Hackintool report that information incorrectly. Changing the device ID probably not going to solve that behavior, that usually just enables input/output.

[solved] Weird issue with headphone jack (ALC 235)

Hi there, Right now, I'm having an issue with the sound on my Lenovo Y700. Everything initially works fine if I have my headphone jack plugged in. The microphone works fine too, it picks up my voice correctly. When I take out my headphones, my speakers start up correctly, which is also good...

TLDR; I fixed it.
The reason why I am unplugging it constantly is to show you the inconsistency of the connection. The plugin you gave did not work, uninstalling it gave me a nightmare (broke the OS) and had to restore using TimeMachine (all hail TM). Then I tried what you said change to layout 28.
Now, I have consistent aux audio and line in. However I changed it through NVRAM instead of devices, should I made the change to devices in config instead?

Told you it was old (2016) and welcome to the Hackintosh experience......you had a very unusual situation and sometimes you have to break it before you find the fix. Just part of the deal...BTW you said you had already tried changing the device ID so that was a bit inaccurate.

The developers say it's better to change the ID permanently in DeviceProperties/ Add in the config.plist but whatever works. Here's an example of how it looks in Xcode, values are wrong for an NUC but the line items are the same.

Its easier to change the layout-id line to "Number" instead of "Data" (info need to convert to hex then) and enter whatever ID worked for you which was 28.

I changed the config file again, OC said to used data so I used 1C000000 layout-id and everything works fine now, this whole audio issue is very important to me cause I Facetimed 24/7. Yea I changed so many IDs before but never touched 28. Such a fantastic feeling. Once again, thank you so much for your help, suggestions and dedication.

Thanks for that . I also tried a usb audio DAC I had lying around and using the Hdmi output , both of which made the audio stable

Hello all, I'm having a strange issue with getting audio via HDMI, and I'm hoping someone can help.

TL;DR HDMI audio used to work, after Migration Assistant, it stopped working.

I have an Intel NUC7i7BNH (Core i7-7567U, 32GB RAM, 256GB M.2 SATA SSD) that I setup using RehabMan's guide. I didn't dig deep in this post initially, so I had no idea that wasn't the right way anymore. I'll post separately about my issues trying to use Leesureone's EFIs.

I started with a basic install of High Sierra, then directly updated to Catalina. The only issues I had were graphics glitches (fixed by setting ProductName to iMac16,2) and BT/WiFi not working (unresolved). Ethernet, HDMI audio, App Store, iCloud, Time Machine, all the stuff I cared about worked.

Since I was happy with everything on this great little system, I went ahead and used Migration Assistant to transfer all my users/apps/files from my OS X 10.10 Yosemite system. Most of the data copied successfully, whatever didn't I did manually via rsync on the command line. After a reboot, I noticed HDMI audio no longer works. "System Information > Hardware > Audio" shows no devices. No Input or Output devices under "System Preferences > Sound".

I updated to the latest Clover (r5107), that didn't help. I made sure all kexts were up to date, that didn't help. I tried wiping out my EFI partition and starting over, that didn't help. I tried looking up info on troubleshooting AppleALC issues, but it's way over my head. In hindsight, maybe I should have just used rsync rather than Migration Assistant. Or maybe it is just a coincidence and something else I did messed up HDMI audio.

Can anyone offer some guidance? Thanks in advance!
