Hp 8300 multibeast config for audio and network options

[Mccall07]

Hey all, I have a hp 8300 and I don’t know what audio and network options to use for my system
Audio is not working...but the Ethernet line is...I have net access...

I injected Nvidia when I ran unibeast...do I need to Inject Nvidia again in multibeast...considering I am going to upgrade to the gs710
Right now I have a gs8400

Are you following the main guide here:

A Complete Ten Step macOS Sierra Guide for the HP 6300 Pro/8300 Elite ___ 4 ___ z_ 8300 Elite Mini-Tower / 8300 Ultra Slim Desktop / 6300 and 8300 SFF / 6300 Pro Mini-Tower Installing macOS Mojave If you want to begin with a clean install of Mojave instead of Sierra or High Sierra you...

I don't think the GT710 will work with El Capitan. Upgrade that after you install High Sierra. Yes, you'll need to add inject Nvidia to your Clover config.plist on your El Cap boot drive. You can do that through Multibeast or Clover configurator.

If you want to install Mojave you should use the 710 during and after the install. The 8400GS is too old for Mojave.

I’m following the el cap guide
Are the multibeast settings the same for the HS build?..I’m going off that assumption

What about the audio...

I never wrote a guide for installing El Capitan. Only Sierra or newer.

Yes, mostly the same. You can find the HS install guide here: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...the-hp-6300-pro-8300-elite-desktop-pc.243272/

What about the audio...

No need to get audio if you are going to HS right away. There are two options you can look at in the HS guide once you get that installed.

Yessir, thank you for your patience!
I am doing a gradual install from snow leopard from the dvd, to el cap, and then to high Sierra...or Mojave now...
Actually I’ll probably stay at HS for awhile..
The snow leopard install thread linked to the el cap install that I am using..it didn’t have much in guidance for hp 8300...hence all the questions

All that you really need to do with El Cap is sign in to the Mac App Store and download HS. Anything more than that is not necessary. HS is where you'll want to get audio and everything else working.

That is an excellent point!! I will giddy up to the next phase once the Ethernet gets working

One more thing. You can't use a Mac Pro 3,1 system def. and be eligible to download HS. Try using iMac 13,2 instead. That or 14,2 should work with no problems. Find the options for either one in Multibeast.
