[SOLVED] Dell E7450 El Capitan 10.11.4 Update sound issues

[cptscruffy2]

I went to the clover guide, updated clover, and installed e7x50 AppleHDA_ALC293.kext.zip

My sound still does not work.

 

 

Perhaps my methods were wrong:

 

I simply dragged the kext file to the Systems/Library/Extensions.

Since it did not work, i tried to rebuild the cache, but to no avail.

 

I think I completely messed up the next part, I renamed AppleHDA_ALC293.kext to AppleHDA.kext and replaced the vanilla file in the extensions.

 

 

What am I doing wrong here?

 

 

 

[Also, if I still require the vanilla AppleHDA kext file, I would greatly appreciate a replacement file! And perhaps a way to resolve the sound issues surrounding the latest El Capitan update.]

 

 

edit: after a fresh install of 10.11 and an update to 10.11.3, I had put in the new AppleHDA_ALC293.kext in S/L/E. 

downloaded 10.11.4 combo update from Apple's website, and all is well.

What did you use for audio previously?

Yes, you'll need to restore the vanilla AppleHDA in order to use with AppleHDA_ALC293

And if you simply drag the dummy HDA file to /S/L/E, you won't get audio. You need to repair permissions afterwards (and, ideally, rebuild the cache too).

 

Permissions:

sudo chmod -Rf 755 /S*/L*/E*
sudo chown -Rf 0:0 /S*/L*/E*

`

Cache:

sudo touch -f /S*/L*/E*
sudo kextcache -Boot -U /

i repaired permissions and rebuilt the cache following the drag to /S/L/E.

i rebuilt the cache as soon as i did it. 

 

i think i probably did things in the wrong order. 

i'm not sure at the moment - i ended up wiping my OS X partition and reinstallation 10.11.
