[Guide] Intel IGPU HDMI/DP audio (all Sandy Bridge -> Kaby Lake [and likely later])

[RehabMan]

Thanks @RehabMan .


I am not able to get HDMI audio on my TV.

1. I get HDMI audio sporadically with my current settings and (PR files attached.) only when I boot with the HDMI cable connected to the TV. If I hotplug, there is no HDMI audio.
2. If I lose HDMI audio, even after booting with the cable connected, I make some random changes in the framebuffer-con1* values (enable and disable the keys) and finally restore it exactly back to where I started from. This exercise sometimes restores the HDMI audio, if I boot with the cable connected again, but definitely not if I hotplug.
3. The connector type for AppleIntelFrameBuffer@1 does not change to 00 08 00 00 and it's stuck at 00 04 00 00 regardless of the cable is connected or not. Also, there is no HDMI shown in System Preferences>Sound>Output even though I am able to get the video output on the TV.

One more thing is that there used to be a pink tint on the TV, which I worked around by using the "patch-edid.rb" script. I never faced this in High Sierra.

I have tried other SMBIOS models also, such as the MacBook Pro 14,1 and 14,2.

HDMI audio works in Windows. Also previously it worked using the "0x591b0000, 0105 instead of 0204, HDMI" patch, in "KextsToPatch".

PR files generated after booting with HDMI cable connected, otherwise it wont show in IORegistryExplorer.

It is a typical problem with KBL.
You might experiment with different ig-platform-id values, different framebuffer patching, and FakePCIID_Intel_HDMI_Audio.kext.

Hi.
Have a problem to get HDMI (DP) working on my HP EliteBook 840 G1. Tried to follow the guide but failed. injecting property "hda-gfx" = "onboard-1" on HDAU, IGPU, HDEF objects not working. Any help appreciated.

Hardware:
Mobo: HP EliteBook 840 G1 8 Series
CPU: i5-4300U
Graphics: Intel HD 4400 frame buffer 0x04260000

HDMI is obviously working. Sorry my bad.
I thought that HDMI should show up as an permanent option in: About my Mac -> Audio, but I was wrong. When I connect my display to the display port on my EliteBook 840 HDMI shows up and everything is working perfect.

Thank's Rehabman for all your good work

As you see it and have it selected:
It is to enable internal display after sleep (when laptop wake from sleep) for those specified ig-platform-id's as if you use them, your screen will be black/won't wake. these patches are templates for different laptop models, you should use the ones you need accordingly and remove the unnecessary patches for your setup.

Hi Rehab,

I am on Mojave 10.14.3

Through your guides managed to get

the following working:
- DSDT error free + Patched
- disabled Discrete IGPU native power management
- Sleep/wake/lid closure
- Brightness control
- USB ports limitation
- wifi + BT
- HDMI sound on HDAU

Not Working:
Sound on HDEF with device ID pci8086,8c20, although device is listed in PCI, system report as attached. Tried to patch through AppleHDApatcher, no hope.

Could you help me please.

Thanks

Note: In case you're wondering, Skylake (and Kaby Lake, and Coffee Lake) are similar to HD3000/HD4000 in that the HDMI/DP codec is on HDEF (typically HDAS in PC DSDT, renamed to HDEF for OS X) instead on a separate device HDAU.

Hello. Do I not need to rename B0D4 to HDAU or inject information to it if I have a Kaby Lake R system? More like can anyone tell me what B0D4 does if HDEF has the codec for HDMI on Sky Lake+? No use for it in macOS?

Works excellent with a Toshiba KIRA 102 / Haswell based and 10.14.4 - Thanks RHM!

Didn't work for me. My Lenovo laptop HD5500, hdmi audio sometimes works. When it works, ioregistryexplorer shows connector type 00080000. But when it not works ioregistryexplorer shows connector type 00040000. Have checked all requirement , layout-id in HDEF HDAU, "hda-gfx" = "onboard-1". Can not change connector-type to 00080000
