Lenovo IdeaPad 330S-15IKB Audio

[muchmore]

Hi - I just purchased the IdeaPad 330S-15IKB and am in the process of getting everything working. The items I have left to fix are the trackpad, internal audio (speakers, audio jack, HDMI out), battery, backlighting, USB, Power (custom DSDT). I am having a really rough time identifying the kind of trackpad (ELAN, I2C, PS@, etc.) and Realtek audio (ALCxxx) that is in this laptop. Is there a way to identify these thing in Windows 10 or in MacOS?

Thanks!

I was able to identify the audio in Linux (Realtec ALC236) but I cannot figure out how to enable audio using AppleALC Per the FAQ. I have placed the AppleALC kext in my kext folder on the EFI partition, and installed it into L/E. I know I need to update my config.plist file now, but I am not sure what to update (Device ID?) and the correct value.

I wonder if I should be fixing something else first (trackpad, battery, backlighting, usb, power (custom DSDT/SSDT))....

Any help will be appreciated.

you can use this:
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/release-hackintool-v1-8-1.254559/post-1764779

to create patches for your config.plist for audio

AppleALC.kext only belongs in /Library/Extensions (including all your kexts)

only essential kexts are placed in clover/kexts/other

Hi - thanks for the info. Unfortunately I could not get the hackintool to work on my system.

maybe then follow the laptop guide, grab a config,plist for your hardware and enable relevant sections for audio

So that is the challenge - there is no config.plist for my hardware (as far as I can tell) other than for hdmi audio.

you are posting in laptop support, yet you have no laptop hardware in your profile

please read the faq for proper hardware profile setup:

I tried that but the options there do not match what I have. Another moderator suggested I put my hardware profile as part of my signature instead. But I will re-add the closest info in the hardware profile, though it will be wrong. My info is:
Build 2: Lenovo IdeaPad 330S-15IKB-81F500NSUS | i5-8250U | Intel® UHD Graphics 620

I have re-added my laptop hardware to my profile.
