[Guide] Lenovo Z50-70/Z40-70/G50-70/G40-70 using Clover UEFI

[tatomi92]

You're right. It was the same with me. The problem was in the configuration - which was for AppleALC. Also, every time the entire OC is changed, NVRAM should be deleted - this is what you have to do when boot menu show.

Now i tested.

As seen above OC is 0.5.7 - built from source.

Okay, this one is works for me but this case no HDMI output, actually it is showing but grayed out.

try using hackintool to setup your screens and audio

[Release] Hackintool v3.x.x

you may have to test all the audio layouts as some will work whereas others won't

There is a fix for the VoidooHDA there is a boost level in the plist. I set mine to 3 instead of one so I can hear the volume on the tiny laptop speakers. The key is you need an older Release of Voodoo the latest doesn’t boost even after setting it to 3. Search the Lenovo M93p Tiny thread I have a copy of it in the EFI downloads.

Thanks a lot. It can also be fitted via a mixer. At 99 it's too loud over the headphones. It has a distortion - somewhere at 95-96 is ideal.

 

[Mikorist]

Boost is kind of loudness - at 3 it's too much bass - 2 is perfect.

This is the same as with AppleALC

Boost =2
PCM = 100
Rec =90
iGain = 94
iMix = 96

For my Laptop 3 is best for the tiny speakers, if using headphones I adjust volume on top tool bar to lower it.
Attached is a zip of the workable VoodooHDA.Kext for others who may need it.

I will make my own AppleALC

I'm playing with PinConfigs.kext right now.

I make Apple ALC abouth 100kb size....works !

In order for Voodoo sound the same as the ALC

You can EXTRACT all Codecs and Pins from

with tool from here

this is part of Voodoo Info.plist

If codec does not exist in AppleALC or in Voodoo we can make a dump from linux

with

cd ~/Desktop && mkdir -p CodecDump && for c in /proc/asound/card*/codec#*; do f="${c/\/*card/card}"; cat "$c" > CodecDump/${f//\//-}.txt; done && zip -r CodecDump.zip CodecDump

and then with PinConfigurator same process

the procedure is the same for AppleALC or Voodoo

Here is mine VoodooHDA.kext with Conexant - CX20751/2 Codecs and Pins for Lenovo Z50-70/Z40-70/G50-70/G40-70.

It doesn't need any adjustments - it works instantly. No need for CodecCommander or anything extra ...
