troorl Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Hi. To make audio work I used the kexts from this guide (although I use Clover, but the idea is the same). CodecCommander, patched AppleHDA and AppleHDA_IDT. It works fine, but if at some point I plug in my headphones, the next time the laptop wakes up it doesn't forward audio to the speakers but rather uses Line-out. Headphones work, if I plug them in again, and when I plug them out the speakers start working. Does this issue sound familiar to anyone? How do I diagnose (and possibly fix) it?

Moderators Jake Lo Posted March 23, 2017 Moderators Share Posted March 23, 2017 Hervé also includes EAPDFix.kext in his bootpack. I have not tested them personally but you could give it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troorl Posted March 23, 2017 Author Share Posted March 23, 2017 Unfortunately after installing EAPDFix audio doesn't work at all when the laptop wakes up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted March 23, 2017 Moderators Share Posted March 23, 2017 So now you have both EAPDFix and CodecCommander? Did you repair permission and rebuild cache? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troorl Posted March 23, 2017 Author Share Posted March 23, 2017 Yes, I have both of them, and I always use Kext Wizard to repair permissions and rebuild the kernel cache. I guess I will try my luck with VoodooHDA, it served me well with my old Asus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted March 23, 2017 Administrators Share Posted March 23, 2017 If you appear to lose audio on wake, whether speaker or headphones, put the laptop to sleep again and wake it. Audio should be fully functional again. From memory, VoodooHDA will work fine, just not support HDMI audio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troorl Posted March 24, 2017 Author Share Posted March 24, 2017 Yep, I can confirm it, the latest VoodooHDA doesn't seem to have any issues. Though I can't check if it forwards audio through HDMI. I also noticed that it gives better sound than the patched AppleHDA. Perhaps it's subjective, but AppleHDA produced some minor distortions from time to me. I don't hear them anymore.

troorl Posted September 20, 2017 Author Share Posted September 20, 2017 I wonder if some of you guys have managed to solve the issues with patched AppleHDA. I used VoodooHDA for months, but after updating to 10.12.4 and further it sometimes stops working permanently, requiring reboot and crashing some applications. So I switched back to AppleHDA, because I can restore its functionality by putting it to sleep one more time. Still, it's very annoying, and it's the only problem I have with my hackintosh.

griftopia Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Please look at latest CodecCommander kext in e7440 pack. Have had mixed results with it so as not to lose sound. Not 100% but works most of the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troorl Posted October 6, 2017 Author Share Posted October 6, 2017 The problem I mentioned above is not related to VoodooHDA and was caused by an application called BackgroundMusic. After fully uninstalling it everything works fine. I hope it will save hours of googling for someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
