My Mobo model: Gigabyte H61M DS2 rev 2.2. May I know it's series?
Thank you :)
 
Hello! I've successfully installed macOS Sierra on my PC. The sound (output) worked fine since the install but not mic. I tried to fix the problem via AppleALC / cloverALC (of course with cleaning up previous way). No difference.
Audio Device: Realtek 1220
Not sure which Problem Reporting thread to post to.
 
Every hackingtosh i did (Yosemite, El Capitan, Sierra, High Sierra), worked right after installing the alc1150 codec with multibeast.
Is it weird?
Itunes and chrome play audio correctly (as well as all other softwares)
 
What would I do since I am hooked up to a hd tv using HDMI, would I do this method then the HDMI terminal method or just the HDMI method?
 
would I do this method then the HDMI terminal method
100 Series motherboards do not support macOS audio, any flavor.
Fix: see Post #1/Unsupported/Non working Realtek ALC AppleHDA/1.
300/200/100 Series/1. Rename dsdt/HDAS to HDEF/2. ssdt injection/Audio ID: 1

Restart
HDMI audio: AppleHDA HDMI Audio/Post #1/cloverHDMI
887 audio: if interested, proceed with Post #1
 
I have a quick question in step 3 it says...Disable SIP. Is this something that is temporary to install or do you have to Disable SIP permanently?
