AppleHDA Realtek Audio_v2 [Guide]

Desktop/Realtek ALC codecs: 885, 887, 888, 889, 892, 898, 1150, 1200 and 1220 on board audio with layouts 1, 2 or 3 and NUC/BRIX codecs: 269/layout 10 and 283/layout 1 only.

Supports all macOS/OS X versions: 10.14, 10.13, 10.12, 10.11, 10.10 and 10.9.

10.14/System Preferences/Sound/Output/Internal Speakers > Motherboard green audio port
360963

Enables macOS Realtek ALC on board audio for Intel desktop/workstation motherboards.

Notes/AppleHDA.kext:
  • macOS does not natively support Intel:
    • B360/H310/H370/Q370/Z390 Coffee Lake audio (no HDEF)
    • Z370/200 Series/X299 Kaby Lake audio (no macOS support, no HDEF)
    • 300/200/100 Series desktop motherboard audio (no HDEF)
    • X299/X99 workstation motherboard audio (no HDEF)
    • X79 workstation motherboard audio (no HDEF)
    • Legacy motherboards (4, 5, X58/no HDEF)
    • Fixes, see IX. Unsupported/Non-working AppleHDA Realtek Audio, below.
  • macOS natively supportsIntel:
    • 9/8/7/6 Series desktop motherboard audio (with HDEF)
Change Log
v2.1: 11/29/2018 - MultiBeast 11/Mojave released

v2.0: 10/27/2018 - Mojave support, cloverALC deprecated

Previous thread: Realtek ALC AppleHDA

New install, see I. Before You Install Audio, below
Installation: see II. AppleHDA Realtek Audio Methods, below
Support: see IV. Problem Reporting, below

I. Before You Install Audio - Verify HDEF, identify codec, set Audio ID, disable SIP, mount EFI
  1. Mojave update from previous macOS; new install, skip
    1. See X. Uninstall AppleHDA Realtek Audio (below)
  2. Native AppleHDA.kext, only available from macOS installer
  3. Verify HDEF, see Notes/AppleHDA.kext (above)
  4. Identify codec (motherboard specs web page, manual, etc.)
  5. Set Audio (new install only, no config.plist edit required for upgrade to Mojave)
    1. Select layout
    2. Set layout
      • Xcode/edit: config.plist/Devices/Audio/Inject/layout
      • Example: Desktop/layout = 1 (recommended)
        368876
      • If 3 port motherboard audio, 2 In/1 Out:
        • 5.1 support, repurpose to 3 Out: Desktop/layout = 2
        • native, 2 In/1 Out: Desktop/layout = 3

@toleda Thank you so much for this guide, I'm not gonna lie I was bit confused at first, but that's because I was impatient. The entire guide is spot on if you take a moment to read it through. Thanks again for all your help. I now have a fully working Hackintosh that I couldn't be more excited for. I bought a pair of Logitech Z200 (3.5mm) speakers that work perfectly now because of your guide. Keep up the good work!:headbang::headbang::headbang:
 
Fantastic Job!!! I had just soundflower in sound output and no sound from speakers but after using the first method CloverALC I have Internal Speaker, Line out, Digital Out and the soundflower in output list. I installed the original AppleHDA.kext with kextbeast and mount EFI then run the magical script. I have my hackmac sound back. Thanks toleda.

IX. Unsupported/Non-working AppleHDA Realtek Audio - 100/200 Series, X299, X99
  1. 100/200 Series/Intel High Definition Audio (Workaround requires 1, 2, 3 and 4)
    1. Rename dsdt/HDAS to HDEF (Select one method)
      1. Clover: Download/config-audio_cloverALC-130.plist.zip
        • Add config.plist/ACPI/DSDT/Patches/Rename HDAS to HDEF
      2. ssdt injection (Any bootloader. Select Audio ID and install)
    2. Restart
    3. Install AppleHDA Realtek Audio (see I. ... Installation Methods)
      1. 200 Series/10.12.x only HD Audio device_id (Select one method)
    4. Restart

Last step (200 Series Audio Controller patch) only works if I patch <3d70a1> with <3df0a2> instead of just <70a1> with <f0a2>
Thanks for the great guide, now everything is working (New Build, MSI Z270 Tomahawk)

Thank you so much for the detailed guide.

I have been using AppleALC for my Realtek 892 (on GA-H270M-D3H board) and it works except the onboard S/PDIF digital out (choice is available on the panel but no sound output).

Do you think the CloverALC or MultiBeast method can fix this digital out issue?

Thanks!
