A few weeks ago I successfully upgraded from Yosemite to El Capitan 10.11.3.
For the longest time I've used Chameleon and have had little to no trouble with it. I had attempted installing Yosemite using Clover when Yosemite was first available, but that threw tons of errors at me and it seems it's back to haunt me again now that everything seems to be moving only in Clover's direction for El Capitan.
- Initially, was able to boot into computer without any issues using Clover
- After a while, after I tried restarting the computer/shutting down and rebooting, my hackintosh started hanging on "Sound assertion in AppleHDADriver at line XXXX" (insert random numbers in "XXXX")
- Error screenshots attached
What I've attempted:
- installed NVIDIA driver for 10.11.3 available at http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/to...river-updates-for-el-capitan-update-03222016/ and restarted, no change
- tried nv_disable=1 bootflag, no change
- turned Virtualization Technology on and off in BIOS, no change
- even tried rebooting using Unibeast bootloader usb for Yosemite into my El Capitan startup disk, no change
What I've gathered:
- The "Sound assertion" reference is a red herring? The true error is that something in the GPU is not working properly
- Most of the time I seem to run into this "Sound assertion" hang after realizing my video input is no longer working (webcam), it won't even charge (checked all the ports with other devices and had no problems connecting/recognizing those devices; it's only an issue with cameras/even changed multiple cameras for test)
The only way I've been able to get back in is by using system restore on my Yosemite bootloader.
Any ideas would be awesome. I've been searching everywhere for any solution to this, and so far I'm surprised I haven't been able to find a single useful clue.
Thanks.
