Alienware 17 R4 (kaby lake) installation problems

[vatsa131]

Yes, I used MacBookPro14,3. In windows 10 HWInfo64 shows my SST disabled.
Is this of any use? http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/to...l-speed-shift-on-skylake-and-up-enabler-kext/

Currently with VoodooTSCSync, I don't need to use cpus=1. Is there any better way?

Also, somehow clover boot entry gets deleted everytime I run windows. Is the solution to rename bootmgfw to bootmgfw-orig?


UPDATE: Just took a Geekbench Test & it scored SC:3850,MC:13300 which quiet less than people get SC:>5000,MC:>16000

Enabler kext not needed, also Clover options for HWP are not needed.
To use HWP, use an HWP enabled SMBIOS.

I've never used VoodooTSCSync.
You might look at the source to see what it does.

Set UEFI boot entry for Clover using efibootmgr in Windows.
It is covered in my Clover laptop guide (post #2).

Compare against result in Windows.

Is there a way that I can check that HWP/SST is working or not in mac?

Use AppleIntelInfo.kext.

When I use appleALC or patched ApllHDA, speakers is detected but then video playback does not work. I haven't patched DSDT yet as all patches needed are already done in clover. Should I patch DSDT instead?

Also, I wanted to try AppleALC again so to restore original AppleHDA I ran 10.12.6. At the moment with AppleALC speakers are detected but videoplayback doesn't work. Even HDMI is not working.

Try with FakePCIID.kext+FakePCIID_Intel_HDMI_Audio.kext.

After using FakePCIID, the system feels very laggy.

I am using insanelydeepak's patched AppleHDA, but headphone are not detected and getting noise in them.Also when sound is closed while it is playing, I get repeated noise on speakers until next sound is played.

I event tried this: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...b-ram-100-adobergb.224486/page-9#post-1539760 . and also this: http://hackintoshlaptop.net/guide-dell-xps-15-9550-skylake-gtx960m-ssd-via-clover-uefi/ with alc298.dsl but getting similar results.


Also HDMI port is not working.

You will need to be more specific.
Nothing wrong seen from ioreg.

Clover does not read *.dsl files.

Also HDMI port is not working.

It is possible your HDMI is dedicated to Nvidia.
You should check in Windows.

I'm sorry about the typo, I meant alc298.aml that http://hackintoshlaptop.net/guide-dell-xps-15-9550-skylake-gtx960m-ssd-via-clover-uefi/ this guide has provided. But it doesn't work.
Cannot find any solution to audio problem. Could layout-id be a problem as headphones are not detected with layoud-id 13. I tried xps's layout-id 72 but it didnt work either. Also other people with Alienware have used layout-id 13 which seems to be working for them.

Also, Yes I forgot about that, HDMI and DP are dedicated to Nvidia.

Your ioreg indicates CodecCommander.kext is not installed.
SSDT-ALC298.aml is configuration data for CodecCommander.kext. No effect without the kext.

Only way to make them work is to get the Nvidia working.
