Gigabyte GA-Z77-D3H - VIA VT2021 - Onboard Sound Working

[richbutler]

UPDATED: Sound working on Z77X following these steps:


1. Download the VoodooHDA and AppleHDADisabler files.
2. Install Kext Wizard and Kext Utility and install AppleHDADisabler.kext (can be found online, one from back to file date of 2009 appears to work fine)
3. Install the kexts with Kext Wizard, or other app that installs kexts.
4. Repair system permissions with Kext Utility.
5. Reboot.
6. If you want, install the VoodooHDA Preference Panel ( extract and double click on it )
7. Play a song

Another interesting post on AppleHDA itself modified for 10.9 Mavericks: http://www.osx86.net/topic/16228-guide-via-vt2021-audio-on-os-x-108x109/

I updated the latest driver at http://sourceforge.net/projects/voodoohda/ and everything works fine and no more issues about could not start OS sometimes as previous.

I have z77-d3h 1.0 (best board i ever had), with 10.9.2, and full working sound. With multibeast, make sure to pick voodoohda that says VT 2021 and that's it! I am using chimera.

Your post is off topic for this Lion Desktop Support thread.
Post in the El Capitan section for El Capitan support.

Profiles need to contain at least your primary system to assist others with helping you

Thank you so much!!

I only have stereo 2.0 via analog cable, but I already was counting on optical cable not working on Mac.

I used the guide of first post. Will I have optical output with this updated guide? I fear to touch anything now I finally have sound on Mac OS.
