CustoMac Mini 2013: GA-H87N-WIFI - Core i3-4340 - Intel HD 4600

[Gogogadgetpants]

I can't for the life of me figure this HDMI audio thing out. Steps I've done:

1. Clean install.
2. Multibeast without DSDT including everything in the first step of this build plus TRIM for my SSD and with DropSSDT
3. Reboot
4. delete HDAEnabler1 by doing "sudo rm -r S/L/E/HDAEnabler1.kext"
5. Rebuild cache
6. Reboot
7. Downloaded the SSDT "NVIDIA 1" and renamed it to SSDT.aml and moved it to Extras
8. Ran the AZUL patch for "90" which completed without errors
9. Ran the AppleHDA patch with fails by saying "Can't Open APPLEHDACONTROLLER"
10. Rebuild Cache
11. Reboot
12. Nothing.
13. WTF am i doing wrong?

I have also tried using the DSDT file from the HDMI audio thread by another member who has a H87N-wifi, but it just gets stuck at the gray apple screen when I install that.

At the risk of stating the obvious, that could be your problem. Terminal/Shell/Export Text As.. Attach File and IOReg.

Unfortunately PJalm repos will be offline for a some time....

Toleda has done a lot of work as well...

Toleda is helping me through it now in the Mavericks HDMI audio thread. If I get it working I will post a step by step here as well.

Going crazy trying to get HDMI audio working. The system isn't even booting anymore. It just stays on the mac os loading screen .

Got it to boot again. Phew. Now on to trying to get HDMI audio working... The documentation isn't perfect .

The documentation isn't perfect.

Not all users are perfect.

Not all users are perfect.

Very true.

Anyway, I got it working. Most of my problems had to do with the documentation. Once I figured out there was a branched tree structure in the way you could install HDMI audio I did it correctly.

Everything is working perfectly

Could you list *exactly* what you did to get it all working? Whilst it may not help everyone, it may help some/most.

On a side note, happy with the new intel drivers for ethernet included in the latest multibeast. The original ones (from 6.0.1 perhaps?) wouldn't work at all with the intel lan chip, and so I had to use the other one. This would cause the hackintosh to lock up with sustained high (60mb+, which isn't so high, but there you are) traffic. I could reproduce it every time whilst watching HD videos from youtube, lan file transfers etc. Whether it was overheating, or was just buggy software drivers I don't know. Anyway, after putting in the new wifi/bt half-card, I used that instead, and no more lock-ups, but thought to give the new drivers a try as wifi to wifi lan transfers also max out at around 4 or 5 megs a second.
With the new intel lan drivers, everything seems peachy, and it's also much faster than the alternative, though still maxing out at 100mb, though the card is rated for 1000mb.
Just a heads up for those that are suffering random freezes - might be an idea to try the other lan port.

Cheers to all for their input

How to get HDMI audio working on the H87N wifi Motherboard (according to my memory):

1) Open the Terminal app and type the following linesThis will allow you to see hidden folders.

defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE

2) In Finder go to ~/System/Library/Extensions. Delete "HDAEnabler1.kext".
3) Download, extract and open these two files:

• https://github.com/toleda/audio_hdmi_8series/blob/master/audio_hdmi_hd5K-hda-90_patch.command.zip
• https://github.com/toleda/audio_hdmi_8series/blob/master/audio_hdmi_hd5k-azul-90_patch.command.zip

4) Download this zip and extract it: audio_ssdt-hdmi-ami_hd5k-amd-nvidia-1_v2.zip .
5) Remove the pdf. Rename the remaining file to SSDT.aml.
6) In Finder go to ~/extra. Paste the SSDT.aml file there.
7) In the same folder locate and open "org.chameleon.Boot.plist". Paste the following lines there and save the file.

[COLOR=#000000]<key>DropSSDT</key>
[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]<string>Yes</string>[/COLOR]

8) Download and open "dpciManager": http://sourceforge.net/projects/dpcimanager/
9) In "dpciManager" click on the "rebuild cache" button.
10) Open the Terminal app and type the following line:

defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE

10) Reboot your hackintosh and go to the "System Preference" app. Click on "sound", browse to the "output" tab and hopefully you will see HDMI as an option.

Let me know if this worked for you.
