Can anyone confirm if HDMI audio works with AppleALC and Lilu? I'd like to have HDMI audio. I also tried the AppleHDA_ALC280.kext and the 3 patches in Clover Config with no success. I am using a display to HDMI adapter for this application, there is no Display Port input available. Not sure if that is causing issues with HDMI audio. I could go with bluetooth for the audio connection, but HDMI would be my first choice.

Just to confirm, HDMI audio does not work with AppleACL, or do I have something wrong in setup?

Yup. first one. lol If you have AppleHDA_ALC280.kext in /L/E or /S/L/E, remove it. Sounds working. Thanks you!

Sleep is working in Mojave!

Alright, I give up. What am I doing wrong here? Layout -id 15. Thought I had it correct in dsdt? Or, in config should be no biggie, just devices, inject 15. Still no sound. Edit: Yes, sleep works! Not sure if this matters, I set Darkwake=0, and FixShutdown 9020 Sound .zip

I've just did a Mojave install as well. I could not get installer to boot in UEFI, so I got impatient, and installed it in legacy mode. First boot, no sound, so I have some reading and tweaks to do. Probably will go with Apple.ALC. Setup will take a bit longer on this standard HD drive. I don't have a spare SSD to test with at the moment. Sleep is working if I manually put it to sleep. I will do some more testing.

Hmm, I was just about ask, anyone upgrade to Mojave yet? Wonder if we get lucky and it solves sleep issue in High Sierra.

Just that easy! Thank you!

I just picked up a 9020 SFF, i-5. I won't have time to do an install until next week. So, no solution for sleep/wake in High Sierra? So, if sleep/wake is important to me, its best to install Sierra?

You are da man! The brightness slider is holding its settings now, and with all of this testing I have probably rebooted this thing 40 times, and no issues with brightness at startup as with first patched dsdt you did. Okay, one last thing with this backlight issue if you can, and you are willing. Once upon a time the dsdt was patched with working function key control for backlight. Now, if I press Fn -F4, (brightness down), nothing happens. If I press Fn- F5, (brightness up), brightness will go all the way up, even if I let go of the key, once its pressed for just a moment, brightness goes all the way up. Function keys working for brightness are not a necessity, but they are nice to have. No clue where to start with this. I see guides, and they give me a headache. DSDT patching is not my thing, although I did manage to patch it for my WiFi. lol

Well, I probably did a mixture of boot & reboot 25 times, and that one is working. Only thing is that the brightness always boots at 100%. Trying to figure out why it won't save brightness setting, I thought I had working NVRAM.

Thanks for the help. LCD lights up, but it's a bit buggy. Sometimes boots up like I would expect. Other times, it takes longer to boot, and then when it reaches desktop it has brightness all the way up, there is no brightness control in Preferences >> Displays, and Icon for dual-monitors is showing like there is a projector or another monitor hooked up. Then it can take anywhere from 1 to several reboots to get it to boot to normal desktop.

I hear, and I obey! Debug_Clover.zip

Well, Dell has instructions for downgrading bios. But this one will now work. Run as admin, Also did the, run cmd box as administrator, then, C:\ bios_name /forceit Neither work. Unless there is a 3rd party flash software I can use? May not be safe? This last update was to cover vulnerability in CPU kernel? Screen will light up if I boot without dsdt, but it runs like C#@P, and it takes over 5 minutes to boot. Maybe needs a DSDT edit? HD3000 graphics set to defaults in Clover.

Yikes! HD3000 Graphics, Video gone after updating to A12 Bios. Why did I do that? Works over the HDMI Output. No video to lcd screen. What now?

Running High Sierra 11.13.4 now.

Sound is Cirrus Logic CS4213D I have not found a way to make the internal microphone work on my 3520 with CS4213 Sound. From searching the internet, it seems it was working with AppleHDA for a short time, but not any longer. I have tried just about every method I could find, but have had no luck.

Yes, latest AppleALC.Kext + Lilu.Kext in EFI/Clover/Kexts/10.13 Layout ID 28 in DSDT No audio device in System Preferences, Sound.

Nice Cobbling! Working on my DW1702, AR5B195, with High Sierra, 10.13.2 Thank you!

Now running High Sierra 10.13.2 Everything works. Including Night Shift. Everything but the microphone... well maybe someday.

Edit: Okay, It's updated to 10.12.6. Everything still works. Night Shift also working. Updating my Desktops and laptops this weekend. This Laptop has Sierra, El Capitan, and Win10. I also installed a backlit keyboard from a Dell Vostro. I had to tap the power from the DVD drive, so the keyboard stays lit all the time, but it does go off with sleep.

Update: Upgraded to Sierra a few months back. Now running 10.12.5 with no issues, other than microphone not working. (no big deal). I am pleasantly surprised how well this inexpensive laptop runs with OSX. Running dual-boot with Win 10. 120GB SSD, and 8GB ram.

So Far, so good! Working great on my Inspiron 3520. Sierra 10.12.4 Just awesome! Thank You!

Try this BTFirmwareUploader.Kext . Install to S/L/E. Reboot. If it does not work. check out this thread for more. https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/2925-bluetooth-firmware-uploader/ BTFirmwareUploader.kext.zip

I just picked up an Inspiron 3520, i5-2520, HD3000. I just got done installing El Capitan. The install went pretty smooth for the most part, using kexts and DSST from bobdammit's Mavericks Guide. I only seem to have a couple of small bugs. Sometimes shutdown will hang for several seconds. Screen off, but power still on. The other problem is USB ports. It was shutting down when transferring files from one of the USB ports. I tried USBInjectAll.kext, and now it will read and write from all 3 USB ports, but sometimes cannot eject the drives. As was already said, the microphone does not work. I did a Codec Dump. Maybe a guru will come along and give it a look. CodecDump.zip
