Hello Everybody ;)

Before to start please excuse me for my english. I'm french ^^
I'm a new owner of hackintosh since few days only. It was not easy to reach to my goal and I would thank @tonymacx86 and @Stork for their help !!! :)

After have lost a lot of hours with a lot of solution no working for me... I was never able to get native audio working !
And I finally found this one ! Hope it can help you to have Audio with ACL892 !

My config is : GA-Z170M-D3H / i6700k with El Capitan 10.11.4

I try few solutions but no one was working for me (or maybe does I miss something)

  1. - Multibeast 8.2.2 solution : NOT WORKING !
  2. - Adding AppleHDA.kext / HDAEnabler892.kext with KextBeast or Kext Wizard : NOT WORKING !
  3. - Using Audio_CloverALC-110_V1.command : NOT WORKING ! Have errors below in terminal
File: audio_cloverALC-110.command_v1.0r10
Release Mode
Password:
Print: Entry, ":CFBundleShortVersionString", Does Not Exist
Error occurred, AppleHDA.kext/Contents/Info.plist/BundleShortVersionString not found
No system files were changed

Finally I found this really simple solution : Just install VoodooHDA 2.8.8 pkg file.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/voodoohda/

Install the original pkg file ! For me the Voodoo inside Multibeast was not working.
After have installed the pkg, reboot and go to Pref Panel > Audio > Output and you will see the Audio :)
Digital-Out HDMI is working / Line-Out (Rear) is working / Headphones (Front) is working / Don't test for microphone.

LAST (IMPORTANT) TIPS :

When you plug your headphones on front or rear jack you will probably heard a noisy scratch sound !
  • Go to Pref Panel > VoodooHDA
  • Select the 2nd option (see caption) to have the line settings. The first option concern the HDMI Audio.
  • Select the "Line Out" and just move Input gain to 0 and the bad noise will be removed :)
  • Do the same with "Headphones" and do the same if you use Front jack.

Hope this one will be clear for you and will close your issues with ACL892 Audio / 10.11.4 !!!

Good luck ;)

EDIT : Sometimes when I reboot the Input Gain slider go back to default value... Have to check that !

EDIT 2 : THE PB ABOVE IS SOLVED ! AUDIO FULLY WORKING.

I will show you the fix for the problem with VoodooHDA Pref Panel, where when you change the settings it's not saved when you reboot ! There is two reasons !

- First one : Check the VoodooHdaLoader.app is enabled to launch on startup !
Go to System Pref > Users & Groups : Click on Login items. If the VoodooHdaLoader.app doesn't appear click on the "+" below and go to your Applications folder to add it. (You can check Hide)

- Second one : You need to modify the Info.plist located inside our VoodooHdaLoader.app to force it to have a "0" value for settings.

Launch Terminal :
  • Type 'sudo -s' and your password
  • Type 'cd /System/Library/Extensions/VoodooHDA.kext/Contents'
  • Now type 'ls' to check if the Info.plist is right here
  • If ok type 'nano sudo Info.plist'
  • Scroll down until you see the <key>PCM</key>
  • Modify the four value PCM, Rec, iGain & iMix to '0'
  • Save and restart !

Now the problem must have been fixed :)

Hello Everyone,

No idea about other sound cards. My system is having ALC892.
For this I have been using patched AppleHDA.kext from toleda, present in Multibeast 6.0.2 since Mavericks to El Captian.
I use it two ways,
1) Mutilibeast-> Drivers->Audio->Realtek->No DSDT->ALC892 (install patched AppleHDA.kext and HDAEnabler1.kext)
Run, kext utility to refresh and rebuild kernel caches.
2) Install patched kext AppleHDA.kext and HDAEnabler1.kext from previous working system kept as backup, using Kext Utility 2.6.1​
Both ways after reboot, sound card works perfectly.
Yet there is a issue with this, there is no option for Headphone (front green pin).
Hence I tried various versions of VoodooHDA for Mavericks and Yosemite and ended up using 2.8.5 as the best one(of course HDMI out not tested).

Now from this post I thought of trying 2.8.8 for El Capitan 10.11.4. The installation gives error saying this package is not compatible. The reason for this is SIP in El Capitan.
Best way to disable SIP in hackintosh is using the following in org.chameleon.Boot.plist
<key>CsrActiveConfig</key>
<string>103</string>
or
<key>CsrActiveConfig</key>
<string>0x67</string>​
For Clover, it would be placed in config.plist. Please Google for more details.
Then the installation proceeds smoothly, still I found some issues like either "Preferences Pane" file does not get installed nor
VoodooHDASettingLoader.app gets installed. I had to copy these files from other source (voodoo 2.8.5).
After successful installation and reboot, sound card works fine, but I found a minor issue.
At boot up and load of the voodoo kext, a huge "boop" noise comes from the card to the sound box which is very annoying.

Hence, use the package attached which is source and binaries of 2.8.5, I got from "insanemac.com".
This is not a installation package. Extract the zip file, goto
voodoohda-code->Binaries
Copy "VoodooHdaSettingsLoader.app" to Applications folder.
Copy "VoodooHDA.prefPane" to /Library/PreferencePanes/
Use kext utility 2.6.1 to install voodooHDA.kext (installs the kext, rebuilds the kernel caches)​

After using this my system has a clean driver for sound card, a good preferences pane and a setting loader application.
"VoodooHdaSettingsLoader" needs to be added to your login account startup items list. Please google how to do that.

Do you have realtekALC & VodooHDA together? if you do then remove VodooHDA.kext dont mix both together not a good idea.

Forgot to mention, either remove AppleHDA.kext or use ApplHDADisabler.kext for Voodoo to work properly

You never mix AppleHDA.kext with VoodooHDA.kext not a good idea.

No problem, I mentioned the ways to get ALC892 to get working. I presented 2 scenarios

You shouldn't need to use VoodooHDA you Clover Audio injection will work fine.
