I was able to get my laptop working on Sierra with the Clover provided by darkhanz: https://github.com/darkhandz/XPS15-9550-Sierra. Try the latest 12-7 except first couple of lines of the config.plist.

For my laptop, I had to make minor changes:
- To get my USB drive to work, had to add 15 port limit patch in Clover and FakePCIID_XHCIMux.kext. See the attache config.

Will report back what is not working:
- Loses sound after sleep. WIFI unreliable after sleep.
- Immediate wake up from sleep.
- Trackpad using Voodoo v1.8.25. I tried out, but when my laptop when to sleep last night, it had a kp. Reverting back to ApplePS2SmartTouchPad.kext.

For my laptop, I had to make minor changes:
- To get the sound working, also put AppleALC to SLE. Removed AppleHDA fixes from the config
- To get my USB drive to work, added 15 port limit patch. See the attache config.
- Using ApplePS2SmartTouchPad in Clover/kexts

I would tend to prefer patched AppleHDA the Clover way vs. patched AppleHDA via AppleALC...

Will report back what is not working:
- Trackpad from Preference is empty

Report the problem to the ApplePS2SmartTouchPad author.

- Loses sound after sleep

CodecCommander.kext?

Patched AppleHDA via Clover did not work, so I used AppleALC then I got the sound.


Report the problem to the ApplePS2SmartTouchPad author.



CodecCommander.kext?
CodecCommander.kext is installed on my SLE, but no sound after wake.

Check in ioreg to see that CodecCommander is started. You should find it under HDEF.

I see CodecCommander under HDEF/AppleHDAController/IOHDACodecDevice/Driver/Function. See the attached.

Here is the zip file.

Note: Your issue is probably an AppleALC.kext issue. You should try patching AppleHDA the traditional way instead.

Note 2: The patches you have for BCM943252HMB are wrong. See FAQ and 10.12 thread.

Download patchmatic: https://bitbucket.org/RehabMan/os-x-maciasl-patchmatic/downloads/RehabMan-patchmatic-2015-0107.zip
Extract the 'patchmatic' binary from the ZIP. Copy it to /usr/bin, such that you have the binary at /usr/bin/patchmatic.

In terminal,
Code:
if [ -d ~/Downloads/RehabMan ]; then rm -R ~/Downloads/RehabMan; fi
mkdir ~/Downloads/RehabMan
cd ~/Downloads/RehabMan
patchmatic -extract

Note: It is easier if you use copy/paste instead of typing the commands manually.

Attach contents of Downloads/RehabMan directory as ZIP.
