I did not. My system is skylake. EDIT: I just placed those files as instructed and no difference.

No dice there either. Is this what you're looking for? Stephen’s MacBook Air IOREG.zip

Well, it didn't break anything and rebooting worked fine, but still no audio.

In his file, or yours?

Does this need to go in System? I have Lilu in just L/E currently and whatevergreen is there too.

I tried this, injected AppleALC into /L/E and re-ran those commands. Rebooted, still no audio devices. I still have everything else set how it was in the debug/config.plist files I posted earlier.

THANK YOU. Ok, so we're back to booting with Lilu 1.2.0 and Whatevergreen only. From here, what should my next steps be? Try 1.2.1 again and see what happens, or just use AppleALC 1.2.0 instead? Or wait for the custom codec

I've removed Lilu and AppleALC from the efi partitions. but it's still hanging without using the -x flag. If I load it without kexts, it doesn't boot then either. Lilu + whatevergreen were what let it boot normally in the first place. Is sudo kextcache -i / the command that I should be using? I've removed AppleALC from everywhere, and only have lilu and whatevergreen in L/E and have run that command and no dice.

And here is the codec dump. codec_dump.txt

I'm doing this now. I have also rolled back Lilu in the /L/E to 1.2.0, and done the same in the EFI partion/Other folder. However, I'm still getting a freeze on a normal (non -x) boot. I've also removed appleALC from those locations and i'm not sure what else to try

I just updated Lilu to 1.2.1 and it causes the whole system to hang. I'm booting back up in safe mode now, but idk why that happened. It's hanging up again at ioconsoleusers: gioscreenlockstate 3, hs 0, bs 0, now 0, sm 0x0, which is what it would hang at before I installed lilu and whatevergreen. well, it must be loading those to from the EFI partition now because changing them in L/E where they also are/were doesn't matter and idk how to change the efi partion contents if I can only boot in safe mode

Ok, so I have checked and double checked and nowhere can I find anything related to VoodooHDA or to the AppleHDADisabler. I have attached my config.plist with the edits made for skylake, this is what is currently active on the system. I also ran the debugger that you linked earlier and have attached that as well. Archive.zip

I'm at work currently, but I'll check around again for those things and be sure they're nowhere to be found. i did find something called VoodooHDA Settings or something to that effect, and deleted that and I removed the entry from system preferences. I had added the <Disable/> flag for HDAS to HDEF, but I have removed it. Should that be added or no (didn't work either way before). That battery kext fixed the battery issue. if I can't find anything else relating to VoodooHDA that is causing the issue, I'll get a debug and post it.

Moving lilu and whatevergreen.kext out of /L/E breaks them. I moved everything to /E/C/k/Other, but when I went to reboot it hung on boot just like it did before I added them. I put them back in /L/E and was able to boot again successfully, however I still have no audio/no audio devices with lilu and applealc in the Other folder. I do also still have a VoodooHDA entry in System Preferences even though I have removed VoodooHDA from all directories. Not sure where that's coming from or potentially causing issues.

Should these (appleALC.kext and lilu.kext) be in /system/library/extentions or L/E? Lilu is currently in L/E I have AppleALC and Lilu in /L/E and with or without AppleHDA in /S/L/E I don't get any audio. Just a greyed out speaker icon in the icon bar at the top with no options if I click it. I didn't edit anything in the config.plist other than using PlistEdit Pro to change the Audio > Devices > inject value to 11

OP, I know this is an older thread, but if you are still on the fence, I have a 7710 and have 10.13 up and running with everything working other than audio, battery indicator and wifi (my card is unsupported, but I have ordered a new one). I'm confident I can get the other issues sorted out eventually. I'm happy to walk you through what I did. it's pretty easy now that I know what I'm doing to get to where I am.

I have OSX up and running on my 7710. I have the intel GPU disabled and the AMD gpu (M7170m) running as the primary through the BIOS and have Lilu and whatevergreen installed. That is all working properly. The only things that aren't working are: 1) Audio 2) Wireless (I have an intel card, but have ordered a DW1560) 3) Battery indicator/status I am pretty sure I can fix the battery issue, and the wifi should be doable once I get the new card, but for the life of my I cannot get the audio to work. It lists my chipset as ALC3235 in windows/linux (not reported as anything other than realtek by macOS). I've read in another thread on here that this is also known as the ALC293, but following the instructions and injecting the kext in the thread linked below didn't get me to working audio. https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/8289-trouble-installing-yosemite-on-dell-latitude-e5450/page-5&do=findComment&comment=52447 Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm happy to post whatever logs can help.
