Anyone have any success with ALC887? I have Multibeast 8.0 and Clover bootloader with El Capitan 10.11.2.
I'm on 10.11.3, but I had to use VooDooHDA 2.6.8 (or is it 2.8.6?). Either way, I got "no audio devices" until I installed VooDoo HDA. This and I changed my profile to iMac14,2 and audio stays after sleep/wake. This mostly does the trick for me. Since I tried installing ALC887/ALC887 legacy (never was sure of the difference, but it only lets you select one at a time) I believe that is what gave me three entries for HDMI audio in my sound settings - In VooDoo I also have those same HDMI entries even though I'm connected to my monitor via DVI. Sometimes when I boot into OS X I get a scratchy/noise sound coming from my speakers and I have to go into VooDoo in System Prefs and turn the gain down to 0. No idea why the gain gets set so high as there is really no reason for it, audio plays loud enough without the gain, plus with the gain all the way up like that makes the sound quality terrible. But it's a small thing to have to do every now and then so I live with it. The reason why I say it mostly works for me is just yesterday I was using my computer as usual, went to play a youtube video and had no sound. Checked my sound preferences and only HDMI audio was showing up. Restarted and everything was back to "normal" I just had to select Internal Speakers again as my audio output device. For some reason I have duplicates of every entry in my audio device pane in System Prefs, but it works so I don't feel the need to mess with it. Hope this helps you.
