Thanks for the replies, now it's clear.

I've another question regarding the audio.
I've got it working by simply installing the VoodooHDA from Sourceforge.net
https://sourceforge.net/projects/voodoohda/files/VoodooHDA-2.8.8.pkg.zip/download
But microphone don't works, do you have any tips?
It's not a big problem, just because we have the nice Siri in this OS I would like to fix it.

THANKS!!!!

To be honest, I don't know anything about the microphone. I bought a Logitech webcam and use that which works beautifully.

Are you sure you have the microphone source correct (and also plugged in to the correct port)?

Hi,
it's my fault, I've installed the VoodooHDA 2.8.8.

There's another kext on SourceForge, the 2.9.0d10, with this one in EFI/CLOVER/kext/other both audio and microphone works perfectly !

My latest Hackintosh has been made with an Asus P6X50D-E (first generation intel i7...i think) and has worked until now with Chameleon LOL. From Yosemite I'll not made any upgrade so for me is a great result. I spent some days to understand my hardware and the new Hackintoshing techniques. Thanks guys!!

I managed to make Audio to work without VoodooHDA.

If you want your build to become a golden build, you may be interested in fixing everything. However I'm not sure what's needed for a golden build, it's only my assumption

First make sure to backup `AppleHDA.kext` from S/L/E.

1. Use this script to detect your codec etc.:
   • https://github.com/toleda/audio_ALCInjection/blob/master/audio_codecdetect.command.zip

   • HDMI audio codec(s)
     Intel:    0x8086280b
     
     Onboard audio codec
     Device: Not supported
     Realtek: 0x10ec1220
     Name: Realtek ALC
     Audio ID: Not supported
     Current Audio ID: 1 (valid: 1, 2, or 3)

2. Use method 3.A from this guide:
   • https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...lake-audio-onboard-and-or-hd-6x0-hdmi.221618/
   • The script I used was: https://github.com/toleda/audio_ALCInjection/blob/master/audio_200_Series_hda-124_v1.0.command.zip
   • Note: do NOT edit the scripts `gDebug` to `1`, or the script will not work (took me ages to realize that). @toleda Maybe a bug?
3. Just in case use Kext Wizard to rebuild permission and kernel cache.
4. Reboot. (The audio will not yet work.)
5. Use this guide now to fix the issue:
   • https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/audio-realtek-alc-applehda-guide.143757/#post886744
     
   • II. Realtek ALC AppleHDA Scripts - cloverALC/Beta - ALC1220S
     
   • https://github.com/toleda/audio_alc_test/blob/master/audio_cloverALC-1220-120.command.zip
   • Run the script, answer everything with Y.
6. Just in case use Kext Wizard to rebuild permission and kernel cache.
7. Reboot & Profit.

Thank you @Roboter for this post. I followed this after updating my Hero build to 10.12.6 - well documented to get AppleHDA working properly.

Thanks @JCMunsonII this guide helped me out so much, had some trouble with my 1050ti and audio but with some help from this forum everything is up and running, and working perfectly, thanks!!!

I need a little help with USB.
I'm pretty sure that all my ports are only running at USB 2.0 speeds.

I have a variety of USB 3.0 thumb drives and even one USB 3.1 Type C drive.

The USB 2.0 devices give a Blackmagic Speed Test rating of Slow and super slow... Write ~9MBs Read ~24MBs

USB 3.0 device = Write ~ 21MBs Read ~76MBs

But the USB 3.1 Type C device only gets a little better, say not-so-slow... Write ~ 20MBs Read ~ 148MBs


These USB 3 numbers I think are way too low. Am I wrong?

 

[Bob_the_Tomato]

Will implementing the USB limit to 15 fix the slow ports?
