[solved] ALC255 - No audio only UPNP Sound Device

[aeguss]

Hello,

I am not able to get audio working. I've tried voodooHDA, AppleHDA Patcher, and AppleALC and nothing seems to work. I've also patched HDEF, along with IRQ fix. I'm at a lost of what to do as I've been trying to get it done for the past week. Can someone take a look at my files and help me?

Thank you,

Focus on AppleALC.kext.
Your kextcache proves it is not installed, and it shows other problems you need to resolve.

Your kextcache output proves kexts are not installed correctly.
All kexts you need must be installed to the system volume.

I currently have my kexts inject through Clover. Do I need to install them to /L/E or /S/L/E to have them work properly?

Edit: NVM I read it. I will copy everything to /L/E and see if the audio works.

Your question is answered in the guide (post #2) already linked by my previous reply.

Yeah, sorry I read it. I missed that part. I will try that and post back with results.

No dice, I deleted all the kexts out clover on my EFI and put it in L/E then rebuild the cache and permissions. AppleHDA and AppleALC are being loaded. I'm not sure what could be the issue. Do I need to experiment with different layout IDs?

Keep in mind you'll need certain "essential kexts" in EFI/Clover/kexts/Other for installer/recovery.
(must really read carefully)

Your ioreg shows you're injecting layout-id=2. It is not one of the supported layout-id values for your codec.

It looks like in my config.plist may have been commenting it out as #layout-id. I changed it to layout-id, and set it to 3. However, it didn't work. I tried Layout ID 13 as listed in applealc. Should I just go down the line in trying layout-ids?

Edit. Got it working with Layout ID 13. HDAEnabler.kext was somehow in the /L/E so I deleted it and now I have sound.

Thanks for the help!
