Mojave AppleHDA Audio

I am a little desperate and I request your Help!

I upgraded from macOS High Sierra to Mojave and everything works properly except the sound.

I have followed the post #1 procedure but something must be done wrong because I can not get it to work.

  1. I restored from Mojave installation package the AppleHDA.kext file to S/L/E/AppleHDA.kext/
  2. Placed AppleALC.kext and Lilu.kext in EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other
  3. As I have ACL887, I set layout to "1" in config.plist
  4. Rebooted the computer but there is no way it works

Maybe I have omitted tu put some settings in config.plist?

I would really appreciate it if you could help me

If your soundcard is lilu compatible;

Leave your config.plist as it is;
Remove any AppleALC and Lilu kext's - in /S/L/E or /EFI/Clover/kexts/Other
Put appleALC and Lilu Kext on desktop (with no other kexts on your desktop)
Run Kextbeast (from TonyMac downloads) and when it asks you where to install select /Library/Extensions
 
Not sure if this will be of use to anyone but: ALC1150 on a Gigabyte GA-H170N, was working fine with the ALC1150 + 100 Series options checked in Multibeast on High Sierra. Upgraded to Mojave; nothing. All audio options gone from System Preferences no matter what I tried.

Having read the suggestions here - I changed my layout ID to <2> in config.plist. Still nothing. Then I edited my config.plist again and removed the various Multibeat-applied HDA options (sorry, I didn't keep a note, but all I could find) and rebooted. All audio options returned and seem to be working fine. I have no ketxts in Clover/ketxs/10.14 or Clover/kexts/other

Worth noting that the mic input on the rear of my system no longer seems to operate, which I had been using fine on High Sierra but the front-panel mic input does. Perhaps a victim of the layout ID change?

For cabling reasons it would be nice to have the rear mic input operational if anyone has any suggestions, but from where I was an hour or so ago I'm quite happy.

Kexts could also work from /Library/Extensions - the 'right' place or /System/Library/Extensions .

If you do have them, check the versions and generally the newer ones are more likely to be the ones you want (links just above).

The layout id - there are incomplete tables of layout id's which might help give you a set of likely numbers on the appleALC github - or you could guess. Is there an option not to give layout id?

Good afternoon, all.

After I removed VooDooHDA and any audio related kext patches from Clover, I was then able to run
audio_cloverALC-130_v0.6.command for my ALC887 Codec. I had to put the HDAS TO HDEF patch back in prior to running the script.

I am no longer using VoodooHDA for sound. i am able to use my Logitech Z506 5.1 Speaker Set.

The only annoying thing is that I'm not able to control my volume for aggregate sound devices. The only way I know how to change the volume is individually change all 3 sound devices' volume.

Just one general question: If I had the exact same hardware under High Sierra and Audio with AppleALC.kext layout-id 6 worked for me - should it then also work after a *fresh* install of Mojave with the same layout-id or may the layout-id have changed?
The basic question is: Is the layout-id determined by the hardware? By the firmware? Or by the .kext?
