Hi guys,
I've just finished a Hackintosh build with El Capitan. Everything went relatively smooth, but I'm having an issue with the audio.
I'm new to this, so please excuse my noobness.
I'm using a Dell 34" Ultrawide U3415w which has inbuilt speakers, and connected via display port to an MSI GTX 980 Ti gaming 6G video card.
I'm able to get audio from the headphone jack as well as the line-outs on the rear of the MB. However I'm unable to get sound from the inbuilt speakers of the monitor.
First, I loaded the nVidia web drivers, and discovered that there's no audio through DP.
I've tried plugging my Samsung TV in via HDMI, and there's no audio through that either.
So trawling various forums, and it seems that El Capitan has SIP, which disables unsigned kexts from loading into boot. Could this be my problem?
Following the advice of other forums, I've enabled the flags bootflags rootless=0 and kext-dev-mode=1.
I've also entered the following code into config.plist in clover configurator:
<key>RtVariables</key>
<dict>
<key>CsrActiveConfig</key>
<string>0x67</string>
<key>BooterConfig</key>
<string>0x28</string>
</dict>
The reason I've done this is because I've read that the above things disable SIP, although since I admittedly have no clue what I'm doing, I might be going down the completely wrong rabbit hole.
After doing this, I've tried both kexts HDMIAudio-1.0 and HDMIAudio-1.1.
Right now, I've got 4x "Audio output (HDMI)" sources in my 'outputs' tab in my sound settings, but none of them work.
There are no headphones or anything like that plugged into the system.
So I recently found this thread, and had a read of the procedure on the first page - but I am completely lost. Can someone please help me out with step-by-step instructions that I should follow given my particular build?
