    Mojave 10.14.3 (18D109) e7440 i5 no headphone jack audio

    in The Archive

    Posted

    well everything works fine after upgrading to latest Mojave on my Dell E7440 except headphone jack is not outputting anything. (to be honest it probably didn't before the upgrade either.. It was working fine under High Sierra. (been over a year since i used it before upgrading to Mojave late last year due to personal health issues <CANCER> i was forced to take 2018 of University studies so had no real need to use the hackbook.

     

    No i am back at University and wanting to use my external speakers via the headphone jack and i get no sound at all. In the sound settings it switches to Headphones but no audio.

     

    Bluetooth Audio functions fine (i can and have been using that with my powerbeats headphones.Internal speakers also working fine.

     

    any assistance as to what could be the cause of the issue appreciated.

     

    I did have an older codeccommander.kext duplicate in  my SLE folder but i have removed that and rebuilt caches.

    I have codeccommander.kext and AppleALC.kext in my LE folder. so i am not sure why the headphone jack is not working :(..

     

    Someone wiser than I may be able to sort it out.. most likely a simple setting.

    Attached clover config.plist and my DSDT.aml.

     

    If you need anything else let me know.. Any help muchly appreciated.

    E7440 i5 upgraded to 10.13.4 --no audio :(

    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... ??

    DW1550 & Apple Watch

    Hi Bronxteck,

     

    I can confirm that all requirements are met. the DW1550 supports Bluetooth 4.0 LE. the OS believes Auto Unlock is supported it offers the Unlock this Mac with Apple watch option in privacy.. but when clicking on it it will not find the apple watch.. (it actually shows both mine and the wife's apple watches (as all apple devices are under my iCloud account) )

     

    since there is a lack of information on the various hackintosh forums (some have got it working by using a wi-fi card from an actual mac) there is also a large amount of people who have been unable to get it working with genuine apple hardware, so may just be a gimicky thing that does not work 100% right even with genuine Macs.   Sure would be nice though.

    Searched high and low on this forum and google in general and there is not much information out there.

     

    Anyway my E7440 High Sierra 10.13.2 does not want to communicate with my new Apple Watch (wifey bought them today)

     

    Wi-Fi / Bluetooth combo is the DW1550 1/2 PCIe card.

    everything else seems to be working..

    Handoff/airdrop..

     

    Maybe the 1550 is not compatible with Apple Watch ???

     

     

    Wi-Fi stopped working after clover update from 3994 to 4359

    E7440

    Wi-Fi Card: DW 1550 (BCM94352HMB)

    MacOS : 10.12.6

     

    In preparation to update from 10.12.6 to High Sierr 10.13.2 I updated my Clover version from 3994 to latest 4359. Now my wi-fi card does not work (No hardware Detected)

     

    :(

     

    Obviously I will not be updating to 10.13.2 until i can get this issue fixed.

     

    my clover config.plist is unchanged from 3650. so i do not know why it is no longer working.

     

    as an aside, i have installed the Lilu.kext and the airportbrcmfixup.kext to S/L/E and rebuilt cache in an attempt to fix the issue and still no go :( I checked the extensions in about this Mac and they are indeed loaded. I have also installed the latest fakepciid.kext and the fakepciid_broadcom_wifi.kext to S/L/E (the later is not being loaded).

     

    unsure of what to do next. I have attached a copy of my config.plist herewith for inspection..

     

    Any help muchly appreciated.

    E7470: some issues with Sierra

    in The Archive

    Posted

    I am using the Dw1550 card which is similar.

    See my post here https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/9585-e7440-probs-with-clover-3994-and-sierra-10123/page-2

    post #19. add in that code just after the fcvo patch under KextsToPatch in your clover config.plist.

     

    It should not be needed with the latest versions of the FakePCIID.kext and BRCM kexts, but I found that the FakePCIID_Broadcom_WiFi.kext was not being loaded for some reason. those kext patches solved my wifi issue even though the FakePCIID_Broadcom_WiFi.kext was not being loaded.

     

    i'll give 10-1 odds that if you check your system information that the fakePCIID_Broadcom_WiFi.kext is not being loaded.

    FIXED WI-FI  YES!!!!

     

    added the below code to Clover config.plist KextsToPatch and Wi-fi is working and it even connects to my 5G Access point :) so looks like i am back in business again :) Interestingly the FakePCIID_Broadcom_WIFI.kext is still not being loaded. but so long as Wi_Fi is working again all is good.

    Unfortunately that still failed to activate wi-fi.. :(
     
    Track preferences are working (downloaded the build called Jake lo 2.zip).. not all gestures work but i am guessing that that is more or less to do with limitations of the trackpad hardware. 1 finger and 2 finger clicking is working. 2 finger scrolling is working but that is it..  edge scrolling does not work ( i found it annoying anyway so i am not overly concerned)
     
    so only puzzle no to solve is wi-fi.

     

    Further investigation shows that the AppleAirPort4360.kext was not loading.

    So forced that to load under clover.config.

     

    however FakePCIID_Broadcom_WIFI.kext is not loaded either (probably why AppleAirport4360.kext did not load.

     

    Bluetooth is working.  But i get a greayed out Wi-Fi symble in task bar say no Wi-Fi hardware installed.

     

    Looks like i am chasing something else.  Maybe a DSDT edit somewhere (but all was fine with El Cap 10.11.6 and that was using same DSDT.

     

    and i can boot 10.11.6 from external drive with curent Clover config and Wi-Fi is working.  so a real mystery.. I am at a loss..

    Well i solved the KP problem by relocating the 2 BRCM kexts to S/L/E from L/E and rebuilding the cache..  I am guessing they are looking for dependent kexts in the S/L/E folder (or same folder in which the BRCM kexts reside).
     
    Still no wi-fi :(  system tells me the kexts have loaded so not sure. Applied your config.plist still no help. :(
     
    Audio also seems intermittent.. every now and then after a reboot i have no audio, rebooting again often brings it back... its a little annoying but i remember having this issue with El Cap in the beginning too.. can't for the life of me remember what i did to resolve it.
     
    Trackpad Preferences in settings brings up a blank page???

    Yeah was looking through the Dell E-series forums exclusively :?  should have expanded my search criteria. I'll give DrHurts builds a try.. (mind you will have to boot into El Cap from the external USB drive to grab the files.. As no wireless networking is available under Sierra :(  )
    What about Audio and wi-fi/Bluetooth ??

    Well i decided to upgrade my working 10.11.6 installation and have encountered some snags.

     

    After finally getting a working USB installer happening, I have still not resolved the issues,

     

    I think part of the issue is to do with Clover 3994. After i installed this in (with 10.11.6) i lost Audio but everything else worked, 

     

    I created a Carbon Clone of the system on an external 1TB USB drive + a time machine backup for good measure.

     

    Then proceeded to download the latest Sierra from App store and do an in situ upgrade..  and BOOM KP every boot.. VoodooPS2Controller kext was causing the KP.  So i booted the system from the El Cap Carbon Copy on the 1 TB drive (which worked a treat mind you) and browsed to the internal SSD L/E folder and removed the voodoops2controller.kext

    Rebuild the caches in the usual way and sierra completed installation.

     

    Naturally without keyboard and trackpad due to no PS2 controller. After logging back in to the system i had the following issues. 

     

    No Keyboard trackpad (due to no PS2 controller installed)

    No Audio (does not seem to be detecting hardware).

    No Wi-FI or Bluetooth (again not detecting the Broadcom wi-fi card. Funilly it is loading the kexts)

     

     

    I have been scouring these forums for the past 3 days to find little resolution of these issues.

     

    The PS2 controller issue seems to be common enough and mentioned often.. But no real solution ???

    However little mention of Audio and wi-fi/Bluetooth issues.

     

    Any assistance rendered would be appreciated.
