@mavavilj, please update your profile (personal details) with your Motherboard or Make/Model, CPU and Graphics Card.

I re-installed Voodoo HDA but I selected "Classic" this time and I now have Headphones front and Line out (green rear). Am I supposed to get "Speaker" too? What about the display ports? Are they supposed to transmit audio?
Thanks

Z600-No audio
After failing to install Mac Sierra on my Z600 several times (using a guide from a different web site), I used this guide and ended up with a working system on my first attempt. Everything is working, except audio. I did install the ALC262_AppleHDA___Code_Dump.zip with no success. I then tried to install Voodoo HDA 2.8.9 but Voodoo returned a "No Voodoo device found".
Any suggestions?
Thanks

May i ask what Quadro are you using? I could get my hands on a basic 1700 or a 9500gt for booting only (if it works)

I'm also interested in this question regarding what graphics card are natively supported.

I have Nvidia Quadro FX 3700 and FX 4800 cards and immediately get black screens after passing the Clover boot screen to install MacOS. This is with all combinations of Nvidia injections and nv_disable=1. Even using -v flag, the screen is completely black with no error message.

I've tried so many different guides to no avail. I'm thinking it's probably the cards are not supported.

I'm waiting for a Nvidia GT 710 card to arrive, which apparently has native support?

Setup 1
HP Z800 - Bios 3.60 A
Xeon X5550 x2
Nvidia Quadro FX 4800

Setup 2
HP Z800 - Bios 3.57
Xeon X5550 x2
Nvidia Quadro FX 3700

Strangely, enough Setup 2 got pass to the MacOS Sierra installer and completed install but on first reboot, the new HDD was missing so I couldn't get any further. I only got through to the MacOs install once, with a near vanilla Clover USB install drive, which I can't re-create.

I've also tried with El Capitan but the same problem (black screen) occurs.

Hi

I have the same computer with a Nvidia FX 1800 working very well with High Sierra.
 
It was definitely the cards - both Quadro FX 3700 and FX 4800 didn't work.

I got an Nvidia GT 710 and it worked straight away with the same USB installer. Got it up and running now.

Once MacOS was installed, and booting on its own without USB, I switched the cards back and again, it doesn't work.

Haven't figured out how to get the Nvidia Web drivers to work yet. They're installed and can be activated with the GT 710 card (which doesn't really need them) but can't get working with the other cards...
 
I'm curious if anyone has had luck getting High Sierra installed on a Z600? I tried last week using the same method as Sierra, but was getting the error "Unsupported CPU for reporter" & "Sound assertion in AppleHDA driver". See image.

I had read that it could be a video card issue, but I tried using my old nvidia quatro which works with Sierra, but I still received the same error.

Can anyone shed any light on why i can't use usb or ps2 at this stage? i tried the VoodooPS2Controller.kext but that wouldn't allow me to even boot to the OSX installer.
 
Hey, can anyone help me with I have a HP z640 workstation. But when I load the macOS Sierra from Clover Boot Manager I get stuck on an apple logo that does not have a loading bar and the screen is also offset slighty.
