elgranoti Posted December 10, 2020 Author Share Posted December 10, 2020 Well, the thing is that I get a lot of ACPI errors when the battery is connected, hence longer booting time. When disconnected, no ACPI errors anymore, and booting faster... I think the battery kext is not the proper one ( just guessing ). Oh, one more thing: sound comes and goes !!! I can see it is installed in both cases ( meaning that, when I have no sounds, the controlls are still there and operational, but no sounds come out ). This is what I found, after running kextstat | grep 'Lilu\|AppleALC\|AppleHDA': when sound works, com.apple.driver.AppleHDAHardwareConfigDriver kext is listed, and when it is not working, that driver is missing Any idea ?

Administrators Bronxteck Posted December 10, 2020 Administrators Share Posted December 10, 2020 use the alcid= bootflag. put your id after the = symbol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elgranoti Posted December 10, 2020 Author Share Posted December 10, 2020 What is that for ? Don't get me wrong, is just that all that is set up at config.plist already... I mean, do I have to boot using that bootflag every time I boot, even when config.plist is properly set up ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Bronxteck Posted December 11, 2020 Administrators Share Posted December 11, 2020 depends on the boot loader you use. it would go where ever you would put lets say -v for verbose. https://github.com/acidanthera/AppleALC/wiki/Installation-and-usage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted December 11, 2020 Moderators Share Posted December 11, 2020 @elgranoti You could try adding CodecCommander.kext to /L/E to fix audio issue after wakeup. Or try different layout-id like 27 which is for an Acer Aspire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elgranoti Posted December 12, 2020 Author Share Posted December 12, 2020 Thank you both @Bronxteck and @Jake Lo... There was a problem with the sound: even when I properly set it up following the ALC wiki, sometimes it was working and sometimes not, and always showing the same pattern (com.apple.driver.AppleHDAHardwareConfigDriver kext not listed when the sound was not working ). Finally switched to VoodooHDA, and I can say it goes way better !!! OK guys, I need a hand: I'm having issues with the battery. The icon does not remain at the menu bar, and also the system shows the battery is at 0% charge, when it is not ( besides all the ACPI errors I get when the battery is plugged in ). I've been reading about this, and all I can find is that I have to patch DSDT / SSDT for this problem to be sorted out... is that so ? Is there any other way to fix this ?

Moderators Jake Lo Posted December 14, 2020 Moderators Share Posted December 14, 2020 You need to patch the battery https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Post-Install/laptop-specific/battery.html#dsdt-patching Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elgranoti Posted December 17, 2020 Author Share Posted December 17, 2020 Thanks so much guys... DSDT patched for the battery, and now everything is up and running smoothly !!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
