Quick Fix: 200 Series/Kaby Lake and X299 Audio
Onboard and/or HD 6x0 HDMI Audio

The 200 Series/Kaby Lake HD Audio Controller is currently not supported in released versions of macOS (developer builds. excepted). Symptoms are audio devices present, iTunes not playing and no sound.

Fix: Patch the Skylake Audio Controller (0xa170) for Kaby Lake and X299 (0xa2fo)
This fix is temporary; required until macOS/AppleHDA.kext natively supports 200 Series/X299 Audio.

Supports 10.12.6, 10.12.5 and 10.12.4.

200 series MB. Upgraded to 10.12.6 and onboard audio does not work. Tried both solution 1 and 3. Also, AppleHDA does not show up under system/library/extensions when I install it using kext wizard.

I've seen post #1 and I've tried every solution, even reinstalling 10.12.6 update. I cannot get any audio working whatsoever.

My audio preference panel lists internal Internal Speakers, 2x Line Out, and Digital Out. I am getting no audio out of any jacks from the front or back panel.

Is there a simple walkthrough that would allow me to delete all audio drivers and codecs and start fresh?

My config.plist is attached in case I am missing something.

Ignored Post #63. Again, see Post #1, at the end of the post is Not Working ...

First post, first build, but I'm getting there.

I want to try Solution 1, using Kextbeast: where should I put the kexts?:

/L/E

/S/L/E

or both?

Thanks.

But... but ... but...

... that was too easy!

I used Solution 1.

I first checked whether FakePCIID.kext was already present (yes), so just installed FakePCIID_Intel_HDMI_Audio.kext with KextBeast and... bingo!!

Great sound from all analog outlets using the 3 options in the sound out prefs. Still no sound from monitor speakers thru HDMI but I don't care because I don't use it anyway.

Makes my build just about complete, methinks.

Thanks to all, especially Toleda, but also to all other posters whose inputs helped expand my understanding.

Are you sure you don't have audio popping/bad quality audio? Listen close..

For #1 it might help to clarify to delete those kexts if they exist because if they use Kextbeast then I believe that will not overwrite existing ones which are likely to be old versions if used latest Multibeast. Should we keep realtekALC.kext or delete that too?

The audio is perfect, no mistake.

I didn't overwrite the existing kext, only added the new one. I didn't do anything with realtekALC.kext at all.
