No audio on Dell 3471 with Realtek 3820

Tried one more time with alcid=13. No difference. Lilu log 5:08.

Let's try the attached version of AppleALC with alcid=12 only or 14 only. An earlier IOReg shows that macOS is detecting nVidia codec ID 0x10de0ac0, so I'm trying to adapt AppleALC to this ID.

Interesting, and progress.
I installed both. I had other SSDTs originally, but it seemed unnecessary. While my CPU is allegedly CoffeeLake, it is really "KabyLake Refresh". But I appreciate your diligence and clearly moving along in the right direction!
The Sound setting now recognizes my HDMI monitor. It never has before. But this monitor doesn't have internal sound - it has a soundbar that connects via headphones input. So that doesn't work directly, but it means something.

Using alcid=13 (rather then the 14 of the previous cycle) I get this

Lilu log using alcid=13
I'm pretty dog gone flabbergasted. And a little chastened that it took this much time of yours. But whoop de doo! I've been fooling with this for a long time. Obviously I didn't think it was this kind of issue. Sigh. Can I do something for you? A tribute letter to an employer?

Awesome -- and let's actually thank @sammyk77 for these SSDTs!

Now there is one thing we need to do. We need to determine exactly which part of the SSDT fixed the problem.

Let's do the following:
  1. Disable or delete SSDT-RTC_TIMR-fix.aml
  2. Reboot the system (keep SSDT-HPET.aml enabled)
  3. Does audio still work?
  4. If not, then add SSDT-RTC-fix.aml (attached) and reboot
  5. Does audio still work?
  6. If not, then add SSDT-TIMR-fix.aml (attached) and reboot
  7. Does audio still work?

OK. Are the SSDT's personally constructed? Or generic...
I inactivated the 1st SSDT-RTC_TIMR-fix.aml. Sound failed.
I installed SSDT-RTC-fix.
Sound worked!

Do I care to carry this further with the timer question? I don't believe I have a timer issue/
