[solved] ALC269 VC Mojave - No out Devices Found & Other issues

[Paradoxxx_]

Hello,

I got my new laptop and decided to install Mojave on it.

I followed :

https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-booting-the-os-x-installer-on-laptops-with-clover.148093/
&
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/faq-read-first-laptop-frequent-questions.164990/

For now, the only thing I have working properly is WiFi.

I decided to continue the installation of all the peripherals, starting with Audio. I identified my Audio Codec with "aplay --list-devices" on Linux as ALC269VC.

I found out I need to use AppleHDA.kext + Lilu, I got them in Clover/Kext/Other right now, and use layout-id under Properties, in the Devices tab.

However I am not sure first if the AppleHDA is working. Secondly do I need to input something under inject in the audio part ? Is there a way to determine which layout-id I need to use ?

//=========

Secondly the list of other issues :

My screen looks like there is a lot of dithering, the gradients aren't smooth, such as the shadows under each windows (I noticed the same in Linux if that can be of any indication), also my screen flickers sometimes, happens when I am not using the laptop.
My trackpad isn't being detected in the settings, however I do have the right click (no left click), and two fingers scroll. Keyboard is working fine.

I will follow the rest of the installation (like brightness control etc, with DSDT patching) once I am done with Audio.

Thanks a lot for reading,

Lucas

I need to use AppleHDA.kext

AppleALC.kext.

Hi RehabMan, and thanks for the fast answer.

Sorry I indeed meant AppleALC.kext. I just got confused along the way.

Please find the zip attached.

For audio, you need to inject a valid layout-id. You have commented/disabled (#layout-id) in config.plist/Devices/Properties.

Your graphics issues are probably an EDID issue, but some claim using Skylake spoof is a reasonable work around.
Refer to the guide for the spoof plist:
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-booting-the-os-x-installer-on-laptops-with-clover.148093/

Thanks ! Indeed using "config_HD615_620_630_640_650_spoof.plist" corrected all my graphical issues.

However for the sound, do I have to try all the layout-ids mentionned here "https://github.com/acidanthera/AppleALC/wiki/Supported-codecs" ?

Also the table is a bit confusing :

I can see "0x100004, 0x100100, 0x100202, 0x100203 layout 1-11, 13-16, 18-20, 27-30, 32, 33, 35, 40, 45, 58, 66, 76, 93, 99, 127" in the table.

What "0x100004, 0x100100, 0x100202, 0x100203" are for ?

Layout 1-11 means I have to try from 1 to 11 ? (1,2,3..11?)

Thanks again.

I think I got lucky, cause seeing the list announced a tedious and repetitive task, but layout 6 worked !

However a new graphical issue arose.

Yesterday, my display went to sleep due to inactivity, and upon waking up, the screen was all glitchy with artifacts dots showing, and display going on and off.

Also do you happen to have a clue about my trackpad ? Upon testing and changing scrolling direction, I believe my trackpad is recognized as a mouse for now.

Also About this mac is reporting 4 gigs of RAM when I have 8.

Ill be working on sleep, brightness control etc today.

Thanks !

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

Yep, every-time the display goes off, either if going to sleep or just by power management for battery savings.
