    Alienware 17 R4 (2016 Skylake) QHD and Nvidia Issues

    I was able to get most everything on my Alienware working without too much difficulty and I would consider myself a novice with Hackintosh. I haven't had time to mess with it for the last month or so, but hope to get the last few issues ironed out soon. I have been unable to get Apple HDA...

    Dell Alienware 15 R3

    I tried installing FakePCIID.kext + FakePCIID_HDMI_Audio.kext and this did not make a difference in making the audio work. I spent several hours trying to get AppleHDA to output sound, but could not get it to work. I tried VoodooHDA and this worked right away for the speakers with good sound...

    Would these kexts also affect audio on a Skylake build? I am having the same exact audio issue with my Alienware 17 R4. I have volume controls and microphone, but no sound whatsoever out of the speakers.

    No. The internal display is connected directly to the NVIDIA card (Gsync displays are all like this). I mis-spoke on the previous post and I guess that the NVIDIA card would be considered to be a dedicated video card since it is not routed through the Intel graphics. Basically the Intel graphics...

    Alienware 17 R4 (2016 Skylake) QHD and Nvidia Issues

    Even though I was able to get the Nvidia Web Drivers to successfully load, I am still experiencing issues with corrupted icons and buttons (especially in Safari). I know that this is typically fixed by disabling the integrated graphics. The BIOS does not have an option to disable integrated...

    Alienware 17 R4 (2016 Skylake) QHD and Nvidia Issues

    I'm a newb to the Hackintosh community and have built a mostly successful desktop build and thought I would try my luck on a Laptop. I followed RehabMan's guide for booting OS X on a laptop using Clover and am able to boot successfully from the internal SSD on the laptop (sata not nvme). I...
