[Release] Hackintool v3.x.x

@Leesureone
Yes, but that doesn't tell me that much (please don't get me wrong).
What I'm trying to do is to make audio (via AppleALC) to work with all jacks (rear: pink, green, blue; front: microphone, headphones).
I'm using OpenCore with High Sierra
View attachment 538451In the first section I see that device with ```???``` and I know that it's the Nvidia Sound sent via HDMI (have to fix that too) and on the second device it's my mobo
I see that is suggests to se the alc layout to 7, and I have it, but with no luck.
I have installed VoodooHDA with luck (but the mic is so loud and low quality).

How can I "map" the correct jacks?

I've never had to use Hackintool to change the ALC Layout ID which is what determines the input and output options the OS sees. I would instead refer to the OpenCore Install guide correcting audio issues. See the link below, it can be a bit of a trial and error process.

Yes, I've done that. Went to each layout id, restarted PC and to the next one etc. No success (idk why)

Where are you entering the layout ID in your config.plist? There are a few ways to do that, it can be a boot argument like this "Alcid=11" or you can enter in the Device Properties like this:

You may have to reset the NVRAM after each change for it to register.

as a boot argument (as it has the highest priority)

If you search here for Realtek ALC887 there are a bunch of users who had the same problem and most do not seem to have resolved the issue. The most common IDs seem to be 1, 7 or 11 but beyond that I don't know how to help. You can upload your EFI without serial numbers and maybe something will become more obvious.
 
Thank you very much for your help! I have uploaded my EFI folder (without the serial)
please note that I've added under device properties 2 dictionaries (copied from hackintool. Doesn't seem to change anything)

You had two entries for Audio layout ID, I deleted one and changed the ID from hex to number and added the value 7. It may work, it may not but at least it's easier to change values and not have to convert to HEX.

I disabled removed CPUFriendDataProvider.kext because it does nothing unless you also have CPUFriend.kext called first, the two work as a pair but not without the other.

Thank you! Unfortunately doesn't work. I'll like to:
1. Create my own AppleALC patch
2. Fix audio via GeForce 1030 dGPU (HDMI)

For 1. I don't really understand the guide on AppleALC's wiki page
For 2. kinda them same, I can find my gpu setup, but don't know where to put it https://github.com/acidanthera/AppleALC/wiki/Supported-codecs#controllers-patches
There's this more in depth overall guide here using Hackintool but you may feel you have already exhausted that avenue. It's certainly worth a read though.

There is Dortania's Mini Guide Here:

And there is a legacy thread created by the awesome super user Vit9696
https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/311293-applealc-—-dynamic-applehda-patching/

Beyond those guides all I can advise is take your time and read up and then have patience, it may just be a rabbit hole with time spent and no results (speaking from my own personal experience).

There are also a variety of USB Devices that work out of the box adding audio interfaces. Some are inexpensive and some are are not.....


 
Hey @Leesureone ! Thanks for replying!
I think I will consider buying one of these, but it sucks to be honest. I see that there are plenty of users that created patches for ALC887, I want to be one of them.

But I see your point, and I want to thank you for it!
