No codec

Remove the AppleHDA disabler you installed.

Needed HDAEnabler kext

Clover does what the kext does.

 

[toleda]

no sounds

See Post #1, No audio . . . Post to linked thread.

Yes.

another question please. Do I need to patch my DSDT to use the patched AppleHDA.kext? thanks again

Which files did you delete other than the AppleHDA? I can't seem to get the patch to work.

That was from before Toleda updated his patch for Sierra, to get sound working I had to copy AppleHDA and realtekALC from El Capitan, so those were the ones I deleted. Restored AppleHDA and just ran Toledas updated patch. Nothing of this is of any use today really

So I got sound working on my setup (ALC888) using the 120 script. Looking at the 120 script log (see below), is it possible to save:

1. EFI/CLOVER/kexts/others/realtekALC.kext
2. S/L/E/AppleHDA.kext
3. EFI/CLOVER/config.plist (seems the 120 script made 3 changes to AppleHDA via Kernel/Kext patches - see below)
4. Any others files/config I need to save?

so I don't have to run the script all the time I reinstall Sierra?

Another question please: What happens if I got an OSX update? Do I need to rerun the script?

Thank you so much!

Remove the AppleHDA disabler you installed.

I ended up getting the script to work. I went into S/L/E and discovered that there was a disable AppleHDA kext. I deleted it, rebooted, mounted EFI, re-ran patch and answered all questions as Y and audio id =1 (I have ALC 892). I rebooted and got a kernel panic. Now I can't rerun patch in safe mode because I can't mount EFI part.

Any suggestions on what I can try?

I don't have the terminal output anymore because I restarted, sorry, but can you think of a reason the script only enables the orange port on my board? The green port works perfectly on Windows. I ran the audio_cloverALC-120_v1.0b0 and have a Z170 deluxe board. Installed Realtek1150 option and 100 series audio option in Multibeast.

Hi, I just installed sierra and everything works except audio (asus P6T motherboard ) , I ran . multibeast with ALC888 legacy which used to work on El Capitan but I still see no audio devices. I ran Toleda's audio_cloverALC-120_v1.0b0.command script, attaching . output in this post. any help getting audio is greatly appreciated, thanks!!

I got sound to work on my setup by removing any audio tweak/hack (including DSDT/Clover kext patches) and let the script do it work on a stock config/files.
