[solved] ALC1150 - Asus z170 Pro gaming - Sound disappearing and no sound from headphones jack.

[rkjellberg]

Hello hackers! Got my Hackintosh running for some days now without any problems but from today my audio randomly stops working. I can get my audio back for 20-30 seconds if I open sound settings and change device from the first Line Out to another and then back to the first one again.

After a reboot the audio works fine for a couple of hours, then it begins again.

How can i troubleshoot this? Any ideas?

I'm using audio from Asus z170 pro gaming moba with ALC1150. OS X Sierra 10.12.2

Bonus question: Sound quality is good from the audio output on motherboard backplate, but from the headphones output on my chassi it sounds extremely awful (crackling). Any ideas on why?

Thank you!!

I just ran audio_CloverALC again and changed to Audio id 2 instead of 1. I got much better sound quality than before and no problems with the headphones jack now. Maybe it solved my main problem to!! Yippiee!

Not correct for your mobo, use Audio ID: 1.
Post #1 screenshot is not correct; no Internal Speakers, extra Line Out.
Installation error, see II. Problem Reporting, Post #1, No Audio Devices - Realtek ALC AppleHDA. Post to thread linked.

Alright, changed back to Audio ID 1 again and it looks better:

Internal Speakers changes to Headphones when i plug them in, and sound works on both backplate and headphones jack.

Thank you very much for noticing!
