[Easy Guide] ML: UEFI HDMI Audio

HD4000 HDMI Audio
Ivy Bridge/7 Series/Socket 1155/UEFI - HD4000/AMD/Nvidia HDMI Audio

[Easy Guide] A simple HDMI Audio dsdt editing tool for OS X HDMI audio on UEFI motherboards. Despite the perception, all Intel based systems (including UEFI), have a DSDT. OS X HDMI audio requires dsdt edit to enable HDMI audio. Based on MaciASL built by SJ_UnderWater, the Apply button automatically makes the HDMI audio dsdt edits to your dsdt in a half dozen steps. No DSDT, no problem.

[mark00445566]

Oh my god i did it, finally ,it works.
All i ended to do is too in MacIASL open patch ,and aplay HD4k HDMI perch.
After reset my LG tv plays sound through HDMI.

I haven't been able to get this to work.

I first got my original DSDT
Patched it with Z77x-ud5h (PJAM)
Then patched the HD 4000 graphics (PJAM)

THen did the UEFI Clean Patch
Then did the uefi2 patch

rebooted and I do not get hdmi audio.

Here's a link to a dropbox folder with the DSDTs
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/e1idwp7c1y8ki11/rNVIuKdFuW

I tried running IOReg but it just crashes
I am using a i7 3770k with the HD4000 graphics ga-z77x-ud5h

I first got my original DSDT

Try it now

The PJALM "Graphics" patches include HDMI audio edits. Do not apply additional HDMI audio patches.

The PJALM steps for the Z77X-UD5H are:
1. Gigabyte repo: Z77X-UD5H
2. Graphics repo: Generic Discrete Graphics (AMD/Nvidia) - Optional
3. Graphics repo: HD4000

 

[Hackmodford]

So start with a clean DSDT

Patch PJALM z77x-ud5h

patch the discrete PJALM patch (optional... but should I do it? yes or no?)

then patch the HD4000 PJALM (and this already includes hd4000 hdmi audio)?

And that's it?

OK I did the steps I outlined above and it works

Interestingly HDMI audio only seems to work via the HDMI port not the DVI port... (not that big of a deal, but believe it or not I did have it working the other way around at one point )

In any case thank you guys

DVI doesn't carry audio, the only way to have the audio working with DVI is use a a separate audio cable between source and screen. Glad you got HDMI audio working anyway

EDIT - Thanks for the update Toleda, #10, I was not aware that was the case

All Nvidia 4xx, 5xx, 6xx graphics cards support HDMI audio on DVI ports with a DVI2HDMI adapter. AMD/DVI and Intel/DVI do not support audio in any configuration.
Enjoy.
