Very Low Volume Sierra, ALC 1150

[jhaus515]

Hello, I am trying everything to fix this and nothing is working. When I first installed Sierra and Multibeast, everything was working fine, but over time the volume kept getting lower and lower, and now it's barely hearable. I am using the Realtek ALC 1150 drivers. Any help or guidance in finding a fix would be greatly appreciated!

Video Card: Nvidia GeForce GTX 980 TI

Thank you for the response and help! So I was set to attempt to try what you suggested this weekend and my power went out today while I was at work. When I came home and turned my computer on, the audio magically worked again. Figure I'd report that in case anyone else has the same issue. Just turn off the computer for a while and boot it back up.

Had the same problem. Rebooted my computer, now everything is working. I don't know if the problem is directly in Mac OS or related to our the hackintosh build.

Do you have a dual boot system with Windows?

Same problem was here on a MSI H170 Gaming M3, it seems a very common problem on MSI motherboards
You have to remove Realtek Audio Drivers on Windows and reboot it.
Then boot MacOS
