I installed Sierra 10.12 and then updated to 10.12.6 via AppStore in my DELL Inspiron 5542: HD4400 with i3 at 1.7GHz with tag code FS17K22. working: HD4400 graphics ( CL problems) keyboard and trackpad webcam wifi usb DWA-131 not working: Audio (seems to be ALC255) USB3.0: if using an external SSD hard disk (LEXAR Workflow D256) doesn't get recognized. Kingston DataTraveler 3.0 64Gb recognized but working slow. both working in usb2.0 port. not installed: Bluetooth not tested yet: HDMI video / audio card reader. After many days reading posts about patching and trying a lot of kexts, i give up and kindly request your help. 1.- I cannot make audio to work. 2.- i cannot patch correctly my usb ports and fix usb3 not working properly. 3.- sleep / restore not working fine 4.- Activity Monitor app crashes if clicking on Energy tab. 5.- Arabesque screesaver not working (CL problem?) i'm attaching reporting files as requested.

Moderators Jake Lo Posted January 13, 2018 Moderators Share Posted January 13, 2018 does system have nvidia card? disable Inject Nvidia ; update FakePCIID.kext to match same version of FakePCIID_Intel_HD_Graphics.kext Remove NullCPUPowermanagement.kext you don't have Audio kext install, so don't expect audio to work try adding AppleALC.kext, you already have Lilu.kext sleep might require DSDT/SSDT patching; What version of BIOS are you running? Activity Monitor app crashing is due to older version of ACPIBatteryManager, make sure to use latest Switch CrsActiveConfig to 0x67, might need it to run unsigned kexts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matemago Posted January 13, 2018 Author Share Posted January 13, 2018 - does system have nvidia card? No nvidia card. - disable Inject Nvidia ; update FakePCIID.kext to match same version of FakePCIID_Intel_HD_Graphics.kext disabled; kexts updated; rehabman-fakepciid2017-1215 version. - Remove NullCPUPowermanagement.kext removed from /L/E. - you don't have Audio kext install, so don't expect audio to work - try adding AppleALC.kext, you already have Lilu.kext added applealc kext release v1.2.2 . No sound - sleep might require DSDT/SSDT patching; What version of BIOS are you running? bios version A04 - Activity Monitor app crashing is due to older version of ACPIBatteryManager, make sure to use latest installed rehab man-battery-2017-1001. Working OK now.! - Switch CrsActiveConfig to 0x67, might need it to run unsigned kexts Changed to 0x67. Screensaver not working yet. will reboot again and test. trying VoodooHDA 2.8.8 to test audio.

matemago Posted January 13, 2018 Author Share Posted January 13, 2018 ok, audio is working partially with VoodooHDA 2.8.8. connecting headphones doesn't route audio to headphones. have to change source output manually. audio very low. bad quality audio with headphones, like if it is missing something, like when you don't plug it in fully and voices sounds far. but hey! i have audio at least. i tried patching dsdt as everyone recommends, but i still can't. lets forget about screensaver arabesque. its not that important obviously. do you have an idea about usb3.0? thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted January 13, 2018 Moderators Share Posted January 13, 2018 try adding FakePCIID_XHCIMux.kext For audio, try changing layoutID to 13, currently you have 3. Remove VoodooHDA first screensaver not working could be due to full graphics acceleration issue I'll try patching your file later when I have some time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matemago Posted January 13, 2018 Author Share Posted January 13, 2018 ok adding fakepciid_xhcimux didn't help with external ssd disk. changed audio layout to 13 but still not working . should i try another layout? thanks for helping me with the patching.
