SOLVED : Simple and quick solution for ALC892 Issue / With GA-Z170M and 10.11.4

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

Well Clover is good boot loader I am more of a Chameleon/Enoch user. Clover doesnot work properly for default boot disk. Always I had to choose manually.

Clover works perfectly fine. Its how you set it up.

There are other issues as well.
Clover takes 50 secs for my system to come up, Enoch/Chameleon takes 35 secs.
Clover does not set the value nvda_drv=1 for my NVidia web driver, Enoch/Chameleon does.

You need to learn and understand about Clover. Not got them problems. You need to edit Config.plist correctly.

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

Hey,
I can't seem to get my sound to work properly, at least I get sound now, but your EDIT 2 doesn't fix the issue with the sharp, static noise when booting up, and every time, i have to adjust the Input Gain to 0 in system preferences.

Please, help me figure what can be wrong, or what could i be doing wrong.

Help is very much appreciated!

Thanks!

Quick question...I thought I installed Clover correctly. But I only see the Config.plist in a folder named EFI-Backups. Can you tell me if that is the correct install? If not, what do I need to do? Thank you!

 

[imaj]

Never mind. I saw a previous post where you told someone how to find it.

 

[vanishers]

thank you! worked for my GA-Z77-DS3H

I'm having the same issue. I edited the Info.plist but upon boot the gain level is back up. I opened the Info.plist again, but the value is 0. Advice?
