Toleda magic. Thank you.

I did a direct upgrade to 10.13 High Sierra from 10.12 Sierra on my H77n-wifi and converting to APFS. The only thing that didn't work post upgrade was audio. I ran the script: audio_cloverALC-130.command.zip and it worked great. It confirmed ALC892, I answered y, y, y and restart. Viola. Sound.

Just wanted to report my findings with these kexts AppleALC/Lilu

I have the ASUS Z97i-Plus. The GREEN port plays in stereo. The Front panel "headphone" port plays in left side ONLY. Blue Port/Pink Port have no sound. HDMI(Intel GPU) No Sound (FakePCIID_HDMI_Audio.kext loaded)


Have not tested DisplayPort nor Optical Out yet.

Hi Guys,

I upgraded with success to High Sierra my customac with GA-Z77-DS3H.
The mobo got Realtek ALC887 codec, so until now, i installed with success the ALC887 legacy driver from MultiBeast.
Using the MultiBeasta 10.0.0, i`m unable to install the audio driver.
The installation failed message appear when pressing the Build button.

Checked the path ~/Library/Logs but there no MultiBeast.log.

For GA-Z77-DS3H shouldn`t i install Realtek ALC887 codec via MultiBeast?
If yes, where is the MultiBeast.log in High Sierra, to check for more info?
If no, how should i setup the audio?

Thanks,
Robert

Tried all three methods, can see my audio devices in settings, but no sound. Youtube playback does not work ether when audio device selected. Z270n-WiFi from Gigabyte with ALC1220 on board. Anyone knows what I'm doing wrong?
