[Guide] HP ProBook/EliteBook/Zbook using Clover UEFI hotpatch

[RehabMan]

In a previous version of this guide, you refer to the beta and ic2 branches of probook.git. When I try to update with git pull I get:

git pull
remote: Enumerating objects: 11, done.
remote: Counting objects: 100% (11/11), done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (1/1), done.

From https://github.com/RehabMan/HP-ProBook-4x30s-DSDT-Patch
650148f..5d90b98 master -> origin/master
Your configuration specifies to merge with the ref 'refs/heads/beta'
from the remote, but no such ref was fetched.

has the beta & ic2 branches been folding into the master or where are they?
FYI I was using the beta branch for a probook 450 G4.

Thanks

All of beta, i2c, and applealc branches are removed.
We are back to master only.
(I have a local i2c here, but it was confusing too many users, so I removed it from the public github).

You should use master:

git checkout master

I'll check if I can reproduce the problem here.

I'll do some experimentation (assuming I can repro the problem) to find the best solution.

Hi , finally i can boot correctly. Now the built-in speaker work correctly but built-in microphone not working and record some noisy sound with real sound

Please attach a sample audio recording file that demonstrates your issue (use QuickTime).

I have done a recording here, and the quality is ok... a bit of background noise (may be the fan or other computer noise), but the audio recording on top of that noise was definitely clear.

You definitely have a lot more noise in your recording than tests I've done here.
Try with attached AppleHDA.kext.
First with normal layout-id=13 (as repo is currently coded).
Then also with layout-id=123 (change it in your model specific SSDT).
Checking "Use ambient noise reduction" in SysPrefs->Sound may also make a difference.

RehabMan, I can't install mac now. I think this may be the reason for using pm961. I will purchase a new hard drive to try to install the Mac system. After the installation is successful, I will provide feedback files based on the FAQ and unsupported laptops. Thank you.

Mojave working flawlessly so far (including audio) on my EliteBook 840 G5. Followed this guide using 4x0_g5_kaby_lake_r acpi and config. Also HP Ultraslim docking station is working. HP Elite x2 Thunderbolt docking station only works (and with all ports) when rebooting from Windows, not after cold boot or sleep.

Had to move RAM into other slot to make installer boot.

@RehabMan Thanks for this great guide!

No "Problem Reporting" files attached.
Read FAQ, "Problem Reporting" again. Carefully. Attach all requested files/output.

Use the gen_debug.sh tool mentioned in the FAQ, that way it is less likely you'll omit something.

where is the layout-id ?

It is in your model specific SSDT. On EFI partition, for your model, EFI/Clover/ACPI/patched/SSDT-4x40.aml.
Open it by double clicking, then search for layout-id.

You will find this:

            "layout-id",
            Buffer (0x04)
            {
                 0x0D, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00                         
            },

That is layout-id set to 13 (0x0d is 13).
To change it to 123:

            "layout-id",
            Buffer (0x04)
            {
                 123, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00                         
            },
