[Guide] El Capitan on the Skylake H170N-WIFI

What Doesn't Work At All
With HD 530 integrated graphics only:

• Audio over HDMI

I've had success activating Audio over HDMI with HD 530, following toleda's guides:
http://www.tonymacx86.com/hdmi-audio/143760-audio-hdmi-audio-applehda-guide.html
https://github.com/toleda/audio_hdmi_100series
https://github.com/toleda/audio_CloverHDMI
https://github.com/toleda/audio_CloverHDMI/blob/master/config-hdmi_hd5x0-110.plist.zip
https://github.com/toleda/audio_hdmi_100series/blob/master/ssdt_hdmi_hd5x0/ssdt_hdmi-hd530.zip
https://github.com/toleda/audio_ALCInjection/blob/master/ssdt_hdef/ssdt_hdef-3-100-hdas.zip

Note though this means audio through the audio jacks doesn't really work anymore! - Lots of static


The cloverHDMI script didn't work for me (it said "No HDMI codec detected"), so I followed the guide on ssdts. All I did was:
1. Copy a section of the config-hdmi_hd5x0-110.plist into ammulder's config.plist at the section for Devices.

<key>Arbitrary</key>
		<array>
			<dict>
				<key>Comment</key>
				<string>10.11.4+-Intel-HDA-Desktop</string>
				<key>PciAddr</key>
				<string>00:1F.03</string>
				<key>CustomProperties</key>
				<array>
					<dict>
						<key>Key</key>
						<string>hda-gfx</string>
						<key>Value</key>
						<string>onboard-1</string>
					</dict>
					<dict>
						<key>Key</key>
						<string>layout-id</string>
						<key>Value</key>
						<integer>3</integer>
					</dict>
					<dict>
						<key>Key</key>
						<string>PinConfigurations</string>
						<key>Value</key>
						<data></data>
					</dict>
				</array>
			</dict>
		</array>

2. Copy SSDT-HDMI-HD530.aml and SSDT-HDEF-HDAS-3.aml into EFI\CLOVER\ACPI\patched
3. Restart machine. Then select the HDMI output option in System Preferences\Sound

Clover can't read DDR4 settings correctly. You have to set the RAM settings in the SMBIOS section of the config.plist.

I input the figures like this:



Then on reboot they are empty and it still says 3200MHz in system profile:



Is it something I need to mess with further as I have had no instability?

Will the audio files from the first post in this thread help with my sleep/wake audio issue?

No. Thats not correct. You have 0 for 1st Slot of RAM and 1 for 2nd Slot of RAM. Recommend putting in Vender and Serial Number of the RAM.

Woohoo, thank you, another little issue sorted.

Hard drive and sound now. I just don't know whether to risk activating Trim with everything working so well now.




My SSD speeds have dropped through the floor though, the first picture is just after I first installed EL Cap a couple of days ago and the second is just now with all programs installed etc:

You can try enabling TRIM but if you encounter any freezes etc id recommend disabling TRIM.
