<< Solved >> MSI GP62 2QE no audio devices (AppleALC)

[Van_mac]

Could not set build in profile, no such options in the lists. So this is the hardware:

MSI GP62 2QE

• i5-4210H haswell Rev:06
• mobo MS-16J3 rev:0.B chipset HM86 Rev:C2
• HD Graphics 4600
• GeForce GTX 950M GM107
• HDD 1TB + SSD (boot/system device, Samsung 850 EVO M.2) 500GB

Spoiler: History for system on that device

El Capitan - used the Toleda script, if recall correctly
High Sierra - was able to setup audio (Clover/kexts/Other/VoodooHDA)
Mojave (update on the High Sierra) - want to use the AppleALC

Tried the guide. Hackingtool does not have Codec/Layout_id values.

audio codec dump from Linux gave unexpected (for me) results - two cards

1. card0 - Intel Haswell HDMI (card0 attachment)
2. card1 - Realtek ALC892 (card1 attachment)

I guess that is why layout_id does not work. Need help to understand what to do to make the sound work.
Attempt to manually set layout_id to 3 or 4 in the config (Devices/Audio -> layout_id) - no success/changes

your laptop make and model - MSI GP62 2QE goes in Motherboard section

in your config.plist:

enable these:

<string>The following fixes may be needed for onboard audio/USB/etc</string>
                <key>FixHPET</key>
                <false/>
                <key>FixIPIC</key>
                <false/>
                <key>FixRTC</key>
                <false/>
                <key>FixTMR</key>
                <false/>

also enable:

<key>PciRoot(0)/Pci(0x1b,0)</key>
            <dict>
                <key>#PinConfigurations</key>
                <data>
                </data>
                <key>#layout-id</key> <--remove the #
                <integer>3</integer>
            </dict>

FixHPET - YES
PciRoot(0)/Pci(0x02,0) -> AAPL,ig-platform-id = <0600260a>
PciRoot(0)/Pci(0x1b,0) -> layout-id = 4

Did the trick, audio working (speakers and audio jack)

layout-id = 3 - there were audio output devices but no sound
Without FixHPET system does not boot any more, ignoring for now.
