Are you sure you have the right output selected in System Preferences - Sound?
You may have the wrong output selected, like HDMI instead of Headphone Out.
 
Like an above poster, I am also missing sound after updating to Sierra. I have the NUC5i7. I have a television attached via HDMI, and I did not have an issue with sound before upgrading to Sierra from El Capitan.

There are no audio outputs detected in system preferences. I tried plugging in headphones and I had the same result. I've tried the Midi settings in utilities, but there is nothing to do because no audio outputs are detected.

I did a clean Sierra install on my NUC 5i3RYH. Everything works well, except for WiFi/Bluetooth...
Do you know if there is an USB combo adapter Wifi/Bluetooth that works?

Thanks!
 
Hi guys, I found a way to get bluetooth working without dual-booting with Windows. These are the steps:
- Just create a VM with Ubuntu or Windows (I used VMware Fusion but maybe will works also with VirtualBox)
- connect the Bluetooth device (seen in MacOS as USB) to VM
- enable Bluetooth in VM
- Shutdown the VM

That's all! :mrgreen:

I also tried shutting down the NUC, and it continues to work at next boot

First of all, thank you for the excellent installation manual. Spend time, etc. But to the sound I have one piece of information that will surely please the lovers of music and Apple's sound. Enhanced pleasure, beginners may be disappointed. The disappointment will be that the sound of the ALC283 must go from the beginning through Linux using codecdump. I now warn that my data is valid for NUC 5i5 RYB sold in Slovakia (not RYH), so the Linux codecdump output will be different for each model. Already on the third machine, it occurred to me that Mirone's patch is absolutely irritating because the codec is not identical to its variant. The number of issues, revisions, and OEM changes to sound cards are about normal. When you make an analysis of the ALC283 variants in another excellently crafted AppleALC.kext and Lilu.kext, info.plist, platform.xml and layout.xml, you will find that if it accidentally produces sound - even disastrous, including downtime, it's just a happy match coincidences. The most recent ApleALC.kext in its pinconfig has three versions for ALC283, only the Mirone version is closest to my version.
Here's the detail of the comparison.

But I have had problems with the right channel of the audio. It helped a bit through the midi setup, but it did not last, plus a volume control problem. The second patch - letting the audio settings on input devices - I have a line-in port (no MICs) in Windows 10, has led me to suspect that it is missing in info.plist EAPD for inputs, not just for outputs.
Luckily I was right and finally after 3 days of experiments and restart I found that the ALC283 headphones have a god's sound - I use the Fiio X5 as a headphone amplifier as a DAC, and the difference in quality is unreachable.
Also, the overall sound quality, including HDMI, is identical to the Windows 10 sound, which I consider to be the equivalent of quality.

Did anyone find a fix for the integrated bluetooth draining batteries quickly? I'm losing about 10% a day on the latest Magic Keyboard and Magic Trackpad.

Not a huge issue but curious if anyone has found a solution. I'm on Sierra on the i7 NUC. Thanks!
 
I did a clean Sierra install on my NUC 5i3RYH. Everything works well, except for WiFi/Bluetooth...
Do you know if there is an USB combo adapter Wifi/Bluetooth that works?

Thanks!
Hi,

I am also having NUC 5i3RYH and I want to install clean Sierra installation, pl suggest how to start as installation guide.

thanks.
