Sound randomly stops working

[alonstarikov4]

Hi, I have an ASUS X55UA and my sound sometimes just doesn’t work. The command

sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions && sudo kextcache -u /

sometimes fixes it, but most of the time doesn’t. My laptop is using ALC255 and I also use CodecCommander and AppleALC. I have a native AppleHDA in S/L/E.
I attached my CLOVER folder (without 'Themes') for you to check if everything is ok with it.
What should I do? Thanks in advance

something you could try and that is ResetHDA:
https://clover-wiki.zetam.org/Configuration/Devices#devices_audio_audio-resethda

that sorted an issue with my sound

i used mirones audio patcher and not appleALC. it may be worth giving that a go.

it creates patches for your config.plist and irq fix dsdt and audio layout dsdt patches (which you may already have installed not on my mac at the moment so can't check your dsdt)

you can either use a vanilla applehda or use the one mirones audio patcher creates. there is a nice pdf file it creates giving you full details on how to set this up

I tried it once, caused the same problems...

maybe Mr Rehabman may be able to help, he will need the following from you to be able to help, so if you can get this info, that would be a good start:

Attach ioreg as ZIP: http://www.tonymacx86.com/audio/58368-guide-how-make-copy-ioreg.html. Please, use the IORegistryExplorer v2.1 attached to the post! DO NOT reply with an ioreg from any other version of IORegistryExplorer.app.

Provide output (in Terminal):

kextstat|grep -y acpiplat
kextstat|grep -y appleintelcpu
kextstat|grep -y applelpc
kextstat|grep -y applehda

Attach EFI/Clover folder as ZIP (press F4 at main Clover screen before collecting). Please eliminate 'themes' directory. Provide only EFI/Clover, not the entire EFI folder.

Attach output of (in Terminal):

sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions && sudo kextcache -u /

Compress all files as ZIP. Do not use external links. Attach all files using site attachments only.

To fix audio:
- after you're done installing kexts... (kernel cache must be stable)
- boot without caches
- rebuild cache
- boot normally

How do I boot without caches?

 

[RehabMan]

How do I boot without caches?

Use kernel flag -f or Clover option (hit spacebar). Note that recent Clover versions have removed it, so you need -f.
