Hello,
I'm also own latest alienware 15R2 skylake, and looking for some guide to run Mac OSX on it, i only need to run os with working sound and final cut pro X that's is all i need.
Is there any way to get it working ?
 
I managed to create my own DSDT (thanks Rehabman)/SSDTs and was able to get most stuff working so far and very stable:
-CPU SpeedStep
-Intel HD530 (still some minor graphic glitches that are well known on Sierra)
-HDMI Video out (on the GTX 980m)
-Audio using AppleHDA ( speakers, mic, volume control and plug detection for the headphones)
-Bluetooth
-Sleep
-Brightness Control

Work in progress:
-HDMI Audio out
-CHange the Wifi chip for something compatible (looking for a Bluetooth 4.1)

I still have a bug that happens when i restart from Mac, the Laptop is stuck on the Alienware logo. But if i turn it off then turn it back on it works properly.

Other than that all is good. I can attach my files if anyone interested.
 
¿Does the NVIDIA card work?

Yes, it works but it is only activated when connected to an HDMI video out, otherwise the Intel HD530 is in charge.
 
Interesting. I have the Radeon M395X model but the HDMI is still connected to the HD530. I have occasionally managed to have HDMI sound in El Capitan, but not consistently and never with the monitor and the laptop display working at the same time.
