No Audio Devices - AppleHDA Realtek Audio

can you tell me if the attached "Kernel and kext patches" window from my config.plist is correct?
Attach config.plist with requested IV. Problem Reporting files.
Note that there are three Apple HDA entries. Are they all supposed to be there? Also, the Coffeelake audio controller kext patch... is that correct?
Yes and yes.
 
1. Description of audio problem
I've been banging my head on this for about 9 hours over the past few days - appreciate any help you can provide!
I've tried to document the problem as best I can.

I have a dual boot Windows 10/OSX 10.13.4 (High Sierra) Laptop -> with Clover v4458.
The installs are on separate m.2 SSDs.
The audio device uses codec ALC892 as reported by Realtek driver in Windows.
Everything so far points to the audio codec not being found and anytime I try to use AppleHDA I get a kextd stall for that kext.

SIP is disabled. Kexts verified with the cache command.

audio_cloverALC Script reports that no codec is detected.
Ioreg reports HDEF@1B, with no properties under IOHDACodecDevice
Ioreg also reports HDAU@3, with no properties under IOHDACodecDevice
I've tried multiple layout IDs in config.plist (1,3,4) but that isn't the issue here if the device isn't detected.

I may be at the point of having to use custom DSDT/SSDT but that'll take me a LONG time to get to grips with, when it might actually be something more simple!
Making my way through this guide in the meantime to try and figure it out -> https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-patching-laptop-dsdt-ssdts.152573/

2. OS X version/motherboard model/BIOS version/processor/graphics
OSX 10.13.4

Intel i7-4720HQ (Haswell Socket 1364 BGA)
Clevo P65_P67SG - BIOS version unknown, assume latest.
Graphics Integrated Intel 4600 Graphics
NvidiaGTX980m (to keep things simple for now. I'm using integrated graphics only)

Windows Geekbench

https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/no-audio-devices-applehda-realtek-audio.234729/
I then tried this guide as it seems simply written, but going through it didn't bring me much joy.

audio codec not being found
Neither Intel or Realtek audio codecs show on IOReg/DCPIManager, disabled?
AppleALC.kext is installed, cloverALC and AppleALC are not compatible.
Desktop/ALC892 is different than Laptop/ALC892, not compatible.
macOS audio not possible without an audio codec.
 
  1. After installing Windows 10 on separate drive and rebooting into Mac the realtek alc1220 on my gigabyte z370 gaming 7 no longer shows up. I see the graphics card audio output but no alc1220.
  2. OS X 10.13.4/Gigabyte z370 Aorus Gaming 7/F5M/8700k/Radeon RX 560
  3. https://old.******.com/r/hackintosh/comments/4sil5p/audio_mechanic_old_patchfix_removal_applealc/
Thank you for offering help with this issue! Audio was working fine until I installed Windows. Now it works fine in Windows and doesn't show up on the Mac side.

Thanks for your reply Toleda.

I have 1x Mic 1x Headphone 1x Speaker out (for high impedance) & a built in mic at the webcam, photos here -> https://imgur.com/a/sO4Pvz9

I'm looking for audio to work from those 3x standard audio jacks, the inbuilt mic would be nice and audio through HDMI or the 2x DP I have would be nice, but not essential.

1. According to clover these are the devices -> https://imgur.com/a/Doz22Ib

I've read this -> https://github.com/toleda/audio_RealtekALC/issues/31

I'm unsure as to why the codec isn't found - where could it be disabled?
Config.plist or elsewhere?

2. Time to find a kext that supports laptop ALC892.
You made a thread on this some time ago (2014) -> https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/laptop-alc892-testers-needed.123284/

However the post only supports 10.9.1
Is there a method for high sierra 10.13.4?

Cheers

macOS requires the 892 codec for standard audio jacks, disabled.
HDMI/DP audio, see HDMI Audio AppleHD/Post #1/II. AppleHDA HDMI Audio Methods
According to clover these are the devices
Those are the audio controllers, not the codecs; macOS sees the controllers
I'm unsure as to why the codec isn't found - where could it be disabled?
Config.plist or elsewhere?
BIOS or macOS AppleHDA disabler

Yes.
Download the linked AppleHDA.kext
Copy AppleHDA.Kext/Contents/Resources/layout1.xml.zlib and Platform.xml.zlib to Desktop/Clevo892
Copy AppleHDA.Kext/Contents/Plugins/AppleHDAHardwareConfigDriver.kext/Contents/Info.plist to Desktop/Clevo892
Attach Clevo892
 
I built the new Coffee Lake system in April/18. OS 10.13.4 (17E202) i7 8700k, Gigabyte Z370 Aorus Gaming 5 (BIOS vF6), Gigabyte GTX 1050 (2gb), AppleHDA.kext v281.51. Everything worked, even sound. Yesterday, I installed a new WD NVMe 500gb drive as a storage device for large image editing. removed 3 SATA SSD's and two HDD, performed some good cable management, booted the system, every works except for sound. I used this method, originally, for sound from @BoomR https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...z370-aorus-ug-i7-8700k-ga-aorus-rx580.245362/

I hope I have all the needed info in the zipped folder.
