Status
Not open for further replies.
Hi!

I know this is not the place for troubleshooting, but maybe you can help me out.
The board is a z87mx-d3h with a i5 4670k.
Everthing worked as like in this tutorial.
DpciManager shows the same like in your pic (intel unknown).
But there is no option in the settings for hdmi audio?
Maybe i missed something to change...

Hello Adamp,

In my own installation it also stopped working at some point (I didn't notice it at first, so I can't say whether it came with the 10.9.3 update or what), so you better ask Toleda in one of his hdmi audio threads!
 
thx for the answer!

I also thought 10.8.3 is maybe the reason...
I will ask toleda in the next few days.
 
In case it helps anyone, here is a step-by-step description of what worked for me, based on Toleda's instructions http://www.tonymacx86.com/hdmi-audio/108302-haswell-hdmi-audio.html , for the simple case of a socket 1150 Gigabyte mainboard with integrated graphics with Gigabyte Z87-HD3 and a Z87MX-D3H, Intel Core i5-4570, Mavericks 10.9.1, HD4600 graphics only, HDMI monitor only attached (I presume it would work for most series 7 and 8 Gigabyte boards, as long as it is for the integrated HD4000 / HD4600 graphics and not a dedicated display card).

Start with an unmodified sound system (no Voodoo or other sound kexts).


1. Download MaciASL: http://maciasl.sourceforge.net/

and DPCIManager http://sourceforge.net/projects/dpcimanager/


2. Run MaciASL, open its preferences, click on "sources" and add: https://raw.github.com/toleda/audio_hdmi_8series/master

3. Close preferences and click on "Patch", wait a few seconds for the patches from Toleda to load, then click on "8series-clean-compile", then click on "apply". Wait a couple of seconds for the patch to complete and when the lower portion of the main panel goes blank, close the Patch dialog.

4. Click on "Compile." The dsdt must compile without errors before proceeding (warnings and optimizations are ok)

5. Click on "Patch" again and this time select "Desktop-HD5K/AMD/Nvidia-A1" or A2 according to the ACL8xx onboard audio:
Audio_ID: 1 supports HD4600/AMD/Nvidia HDMI and 3, 5 and 6 port ALC8xx onboard audio
Audio_ID: 2 supports HD4600/AMD/Nvidia HDMI and 3 port ALC8xx onboard audio
Apply the one that fits your hardware or if in doubt take the first one.

6. Compile again and "Save as..." dsdt.aml (make sure to set the format to "ACPI Machine Language Binary")
for Chimera/Chameleon bootloader, copy the file to Extra/dsdt.aml
for Clover-EFI copy to EFI/Clover/ACPI/Patched/dsdt.aml

7. Launch DPCIManager and click on "Rebuild cache".
8. Restart
9. Launch DPCIManager and look at the Audio Devices list. It should list Intel HD audio.

10. If the codec is listed as NULL, you need to apply two patches :
a. locate /System/Library/Extensions/AppleHDA.kext
and AppleIntelFramebufferAzul.kext

b. Make a backup copy of these two files.

c. Download the two patch scripts: (click on "Raw" to start the download)
https://github.com/toleda/audio_hdmi_8series/blob/master/audio_hdmi_hd5K-hda-90_patch.command.zip

Update: for the Azul patch script, you have to choose according to the main board connectors as described on this page http://www.tonymacx86.com/graphics/125239-hd4600-hd4000-hd3000-framebuffer-edits.html

d. Extract and run the two batch scripts (enter your password when prompted by Terminal)
Output should read something like:
$ .../Downloads/audio_hdmi_hd5K-hda-85_patch.command ; exit; Patch binary ...
Fix permissions ...
Kernel cache...

Finished, restart required.

11. Restart
12. If you go back to DPCIManager, it should now show the audio Codec as "Intel 4000" (for Ivy Bridge boards) or "Intel (Unkown)" for Haswell.

Open Sound Preferences ->Output and check if the monitor attached to the hdmi port is listed as an output device.


For troubleshooting and expert help go to Toleda's instructions:

Hello,

I somehow lost the hdmi audio myself in the course of one of the OS-X updates, so I don't know how to get it to work anymore either!
Best to check on the latest posts in Toledo's threads.

Hi Joncas,

Are you in 10.9.4 already?
I confess that I´ve got lost with Toleda´s instructions.. and now that they are saying that the Multibeast in its new version can handle that only witha choosen option.. (I´ve tried and no lucky). Still lost...

All best,

Sergio

Hello Sergio,

Yes, I'm on 10.9.4 -- for the moment I gave up on hdmi audio and decided it was simpler to use USB speakers!
 
I did the step by step guide, but it didnt work.
I think i have to activate this DSDT or something. I really have no clue :D
If anybody could help me solve this, maybe with teamviewer it would be really appreciated.

Best Regards, Niksda

Hello,

Somewhere between the upgrades from 10.9.3 to the current one the method shown in the first post of this thread stopped working, so please refer back to Toleda's current posts.
 
Hi There,
I am with Z87-HD3
I did everything as I was support to, and it started from the first time, no need to do step 10
but no HDMI output :(
I have audio (if i plug my headphone in the 3,5 mm jack) but no in the TV
Screen Shot 2014-10-17 at 8.50.12 AM.png
This is what i see.
I did also Enable SSDT

  1. Chimera or Chameleon - Extra/org.chameleon.Boot.plist
    1. Code:
      <key>DropSSDT</key>
      <string>Yes</string>
But no luck :(
