Thanks toleda!

Removing that dict didn't work. Will test with a new TonyMacx86 standard config.plist later on.

Thanks! That worked. I used the Tonymacx86 standard config.plist and re-added my SMBIOS and RTvariables and ran ALC command again.

REPOST question: repost 2 to no audio device per Toleda 08-29-2015, 01:38 PM
Hopefully Toleda or someone with more expertise than me can explain this so I can understand.
1. I have no audio on a Asus P7H57D-V EVO running Mavericks 10.9.5 with a Realtek ALC 889 I had it working in 10.9.4 but after the combo update to 10.9.5, no sound, and codec is gone (on the mac side). Sound works perfectly on Windows 8.1 side. I am using a Cmedia USB audio device now which works on both sides. The Toleda kext for ALC has been verified as being installed, but does not seem to load. Before putting the USB Cmedia device into play, you could see the speaker icon in the Apple menu turn black then gray out during boot-up to desktop. Trying to load but failing. I am using a DSDT, DPCI Manager shows the following , no codec ID, so obviously sound will not work. Is it possible my DSDT is causing this? An incorrect Plist, or something else? If the built-in sound chip works in Windows (this is a dual boot machine, with separate drives, why is the Mac side not loading the kext? What do the kext caches have to do with the loading of the kext?) When a codec is referred to it is hardware and software, can the OS not read the codec only if the kext will not load hence it shows no codec in Dpci Manager? Obviously the USB workaround works, and I could try clean installing Yosemite and starting over, hoping my DSDT will still work properly, But I would really like to understand why it is not working on one side but it does on the windows side?
Is it mandatory to use an older version of multibeast to install proper kext vrs current version?
Let me know if there is more info you need posted to help with answering audio problem on this machine.
My signature machine is still running but is not the machine with the audio questions, it is the Asus machine noted above which is may daily work machine. I have 5 other machines all with audio working a Z87, two z77's, and two Z97's. The Z87 running Mavericks all others with Yosemite without Clover, one of the Z97's will be reloaded with my first attempt with
clover..
I will post all the necessary missing attachments as soon as I can gather them for this purpose.

Here is additional info as requested:

I will post the additional attchments in a reply as this post already includes the 5 file attcahment limit.

Put all the files in a folder and compress the folder, no limit.
If your tried Post #1, you would have found the problem weeks ago.
See Post #1
I. No Output Devices Found

2. HDEF Verification/IORegistryExplorer​

3. If no IOReg/HDEF​

No IOReg/HDEF, no codec, no audio.

Additional attachments required for problem solving question for ALC 889 problem:
Latest bios update installed for mobo. 1903

1. Extra/org.chameleon.Boot.plist
2. DPCIManager/Misc/Boot Log
3. Extra/dsdt.aml (if installed)

Toleda,
I did not create the DSDT for this board, Going Bald created it for me after the original install from a clean DSDT, if there are errors I would not even venture to know how to fix them without complete instructions.
I would be great if I could reload using Clover, but I am sure I would have trouble following the procedure using a DSDT assuming it is needed. Bios is not UEFI.

 

[dasboot5]

Ignore comment on HDEF option. I do not have a HDEF when I do a search for it with IOreg. This means I have to edit my DSDT to add this and I am not capable of doing this, so there is no fix. Correct? Since I cannot edit my DSDT the problem will remain.

 

[toleda]

so there is no fix. Correct?

Not correct, consider the other 3 options.

 

[dasboot5]

Assuming SSDT is the option you are refering to, I downloaded the no ioreg version hdef-1 and the file inside is SSDT-3.aml This is not in your instructions:

1. The 1st SSDT is SSDT, 2nd is SSDT-1, 3rd is SSDT-2, etc.; no gaps
   
   Since I do not have a SSDT does the file need to be renamed SSDT.aml as instructed?
   

The file name -3 refers to version number of the SSDT in each download type?

 

[toleda]

Since I do not have a SSDT does the file need to be renamed SSDT.aml as instructed?

Yes.

 

[dasboot5]

If the machine will not boot after adding:
can I use SSDT=null as boot flag to remove and replace with other version options, or will non-booting not be an issue just non-loading of codec, until right version SSDT is chosen?
