Sorcerer Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Well opted to do an update using a full installer USB as the app store updates never work (unable to find install files after it reboots). that all went well (except i forgot to manually disable the APFS feature and it converted my SSD to APFS which now throws up errors before loading clover, but then loads up ok if a little slow). Upgraded clover to v4438. Everything is working but audio. I have re-installed the AppleHDA_ALC292.kext Installed latest Lilu.kext Installed latest CodecCommander.kext Repaired permissions and rebuilt caches as per standard -- no errors were reported Still can not get Audio working. No audio hardware found.. No changes to clover config.plist from 10.13.3 checking system info it shows the AppleHDA_ALC292.kext is loaded but the newer AppleHDA.kext (vanilla 10.13.4) has not loaded.. What am i missing here... ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted April 26, 2018 Moderators Share Posted April 26, 2018 Attach Config.plist, DSDT.aml and AppleHDA_ALC292.kext here for review. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Hervé Posted April 26, 2018 Administrators Share Posted April 26, 2018 If you go the dummy ALC292 way, make sure you: patch AppleHDA for ALC292 (see my E6440 guide for details; you can either bin mod the kext or apply Clover on-the-fly patches)) inject layout 1 in your HDEF DSDT device (or through Clover) Alternatively, keep everything vanilla and install AppleALC kext and inject layout 12 (or 28 or 29). 12 worked on my E6440. https://github.com/vit9696/AppleALC https://github.com/vit9696/AppleALC/wiki/Supported-codecs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sorcerer Posted April 26, 2018 Author Share Posted April 26, 2018 I believe it is being patched on the fly in clover config.plist I am tempted actually to reformat and reinstall everything fresh (only way to get rid of APFS) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted April 26, 2018 Moderators Share Posted April 26, 2018 The files look fine. Did you install AppleHDA_ALC292.kext to /L/E or /S/L/E? I won't work if you have it at /E/C/k/Other or 10.13. Try rebooting a couple of times. If you opt for reinstalling, use latest bootpack here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sorcerer Posted April 26, 2018 Author Share Posted April 26, 2018 currently AppleHDA_ALC292.kext is installed to /S/L/E but i have also tried it in /L/E (not in both at same time naturally) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted April 26, 2018 Administrators Share Posted April 26, 2018 Also remember that, on these laptops, audio is dead if you reboot into OS X/macOS from Windows. You'll get audio after a cold reboot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sorcerer Posted April 26, 2018 Author Share Posted April 26, 2018 laptop is purely MacOS no windows installed at all.. (although i have though of using a 120GB mSATA with windows on it as a dual boot option under clover but i have not explored that option to date.
