npolite Posted September 21, 2017 Author Share Posted September 21, 2017 Thanks. I noticed that the VoodooPS2Controller is different in the link from what is in the bootpack. I tried again to copy the files after replacing the VoodooPS2Controller in /EFI/Clover.... rebooted and issue with Video card exists again. Although this time I did hear sound! Not sure what is conflicting but something is either with the O/S or the other kexts is bumping up against each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted September 22, 2017 Moderators Share Posted September 22, 2017 The link is for you to replace AppleHDA_ALC255, not VoodooPS2Controller. Your system has Synaptics touchpad, not Alps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
npolite Posted September 22, 2017 Author Share Posted September 22, 2017 I finally got the sound working! I grabbed the AppleALC kext from the Inspiron 3543 bootpack. I also checked the specs and that model uses the same ALC3234 chipset. The AppleALC is 800k vs 13 for the AppleHDA_ALC255.kext. I would suggest replacing the file in your bootpack. None of these files had to be copied to /Library/Extensions either. I also was able to get the VoodooHDA to work but the sound wasn't very loud even at full volume. I still have that mouse choppiness on startup but can live with it. I may move some additional kexts from the 3543 just to see if helps out. Thanks again for your help...I've learned a ton on debugging this stuff. Nick AppleALC.kext.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted September 22, 2017 Moderators Share Posted September 22, 2017 I know, I uploaded that bootpack. I was just told that the mic doesn't work with AppleALC.kext. Since I don't have this hardware to confirm, I could only work with what others told me. Glad you finally got audio working. About the mouse choppiness, does it resolve itself after a minute?

npolite Posted September 22, 2017 Author Share Posted September 22, 2017 Yep the choppiness does resolve itself after a minute or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted September 22, 2017 Moderators Share Posted September 22, 2017 can you launch DPCIManager, go to the Misc tab, highlight and select all the Boot log, save to a text file and attach it here also attach IOReg IORegistryExplorer_v2.1.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
npolite Posted September 25, 2017 Author Share Posted September 25, 2017 Ugg the dreaded video issue came back. Something else has to be corrupting this. I am still able to use the HDMI out but the video isn't display that well either, but enough to try to debug this. I even removed the EFI folder and did that over again just to be sure that wasn't it. Boot Log.rtf MacBook.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted September 25, 2017 Moderators Share Posted September 25, 2017 Remove Shiki.kext and see if that helps. I see you have 2 patches for Cursor 48MB and 9MB. Try disabling the 48MB to test, if still fail, then disable 9MB and enable 48MB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
npolite Posted September 25, 2017 Author Share Posted September 25, 2017 I removed the Shiki.kext and that didn't seem to have done anything. With the 2 patches, are these a kext I need to remove? Sorry for the noob question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted September 25, 2017 Moderators Share Posted September 25, 2017 No, they are under kextToPatch in your Config file. Use Clover Configurator to edit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
