I'm using 10.12.6 with ASUS PRIME B250M-A motherboard, which has the ALC887 chipset. I have sound working with multibeast realtek audio, but it only provides sound when I use the "Internal Speakers" (actually it's the green port) output option in System Preferences > Sound. I'd really like to get digital output to my receiver like I had on my previous hackintosh. I hooked up a SPDIF Optical and RCA Out Plate Cable Bracket to the motherboard's SPDIF wire connector but I can't get it to output anything in macOS.
I found https://github.com/toleda/audio_ALC_guides/blob/master/Customization.pdf and I *think* procedure 7 describes a mod that does what I want. However I'm not sure if the instructions are up to date for Sierra, and more to the point, I tried modifying my AppleHDA.kext in /S/L/E (just replacing integers 30 and 6 with 17 and 16 everywhere they appeared), and what I do that either the driver doesn't load, or it fails in some other way such that all my output devices disappear from System Preferences > Sound > Output, and then I have to reinstall multibeast realtek audio to restore even analog sound.
Does anyone have experience with using the onboard SPDIF connection with a realtek chipset and macOS Sierra? Does the AppleHDA customization work if applied correctly? Or is there a Clover based solution to patch it? I'd be happy to post extra diagnostic information if it would help.
