DSDT.aml is missing, yes. Do i really need it if everything (except this problem) is working fine?

 

CodecCommander.kext is installed under S/L/E, along with AppleHDA_ALC255.kext.

 

 

 

 

Disabled the patch you mentioned- sound is still bad.

Update- audio is working fine, but there is a problem with headphones. It sounds like audiojack is broken (I can't hear all instruments when song is playing), but it's not (everything is fine on Win10 and was fine on 10.11). 

Any suggestions?

Yay! It's working after installing kexts, adding variables to kextstopatch and inject audio = 3.

Thanks a lot for your help, Jake Lo

Ok, after adding that patch still "no hardware". 

Fresh installed 10.12.2- same.

 

If i want to enable audio using my config (with working wifi), should i only install 2 kexts from your bootpack (applehda+codec commander) and add everything that mention AppleHDA from your config-kextstopatch, or there is something more i need to install/apply?

Bluetooth is working, still now wifi with same issue (no hardware)

Ok, after using your config AND dsdt/ssdt patches sound is working, but now I have no wifi ("no hardware installed")

My config and clover folder (if needed) attached.

 

I tried patching audio by myself, but got kernel panic (or similar error).

config.zip

CLOVER.zip

Got this error when using config.plist from your bootpack.

What Works:

• Battery Indicator
• Bluetooth (with aftermarket DW1560 card)
• Display Brightness Slider
• Graphics (HD 5500, no GeForce 920M for sure)
• Keyboard
• Power Management
• Touchpad (basic operations, no multitouch)
• Webcam
• Wireless (with aftermarket DW1560 card)

What Doesn't Work:

• Sound (ALC255)
• Multitouch gestures

 

 

So the question is how to make sound to work? 

I tried 2 different kexts + patching using MaciASL- messed up whole system, maybe I did something wrong.

I tried VoodooHDA- sound is working, but the quality is poor, especially in headphones.

 

Any suggestions? Thanks.

 

Ok, will do that
However it's working totally fine on Win10 (i have a dualboot).

I edited my previous post right before you replied

So it's working now, but I don't what prevented it from working before, I made zero changes to config/kexts/dsdt.

Yes. Tried previous versions- no luck.

UPD: Something weird happened. I booted without caches- no wifi. Reboot- nothing. Rebooted one more time, left laptop for 10-15 minutes, waked it from sleep- wifi is working. What is that?

Rebuilt cache using DPCIManager, should i use something else?
Also tried to install FakePCIID kexts to S/L/E, booting without caches- nothing changed.

Already replaced after first reboot, nothing changed (the output in terminal was blank).

I am currently on 10.11.6 and using the bootpack from this forum. Was using it some time ago on 10.11.4, everything was fine.

Try networksetup -setairportpower airport off/on and then reboot.

 

Nothing changed

 

Output:

"airport is not a Wi-Fi interface.

Turning off/on the only airport interface found: en1"

Already tried that, as well as using "off" first. Still nothing.

After a day with Sierra, I rolled back to 10.11.6, and now I have an exact same problem- can't turn wifi on. Should I use some patches in addition to latest kexts by Rehabman?
 
P.S. I'm using a bootpack from this thread: https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/8984-inspiron-5558-i5-5200u-el-capitan/

Yep, it's working without adding the patches you mentioned, just updated to 10.12.2.

Well, I don't know what happened, but after booting back to macOS for adding these patches, wifi started to work
 
Is there anything  to know when updating from 10.12 to 10.2.2? Should I add the patches you mentioned?

Just checked- yes.

Hi. So I did a fresh install of 10.12, used same kexts and patches as before, and can't turn wifi on. Clicking on the button to turn it on does nothing. Any suggestions? Thanks.

P.S. Clover folder is in the attachments

CLOVER.zip

Hi. I have the same problem with ALC255 on Sierra. Followed the steps in post #2 (AppleHDA_ALC255.kext to /L/E, Kext to Patch, vanilla AppleHDA.kext), but no luck. Any suggestions? Thanks

 

UPD: Sound is working (vooodoohda)  

The boot issue was totally my fault. The thing is that i had Sierra beta installed before, with EFI volume (configs, kexts, etc). Every time i tried to boot newly installed 10.11.6, Clover used that config and those kexts. That's because I forgot to erase the EFI (or at least I could use F12 key to boot Clover from USB with 10.11.6).

 

As for audio- yes, I have installed both kexts using KextUtility (i guess it fixes permission and do the things with cache)

 

 

UPDATE: Used a different kext. Sound is working now!

Checked, DVMT looks fine.

 

 

I googled and discovered that "Waiting for DSMOS" followed by Bluetooth-related warning caused by FakeSMC not loaded. Could it be that? I have FakeSMC.kext in .../10.11

 

UPDATE: Ok, 10.11.6 finally boots. Wifi and battery status work fine. Unfortunately no USBs, Bluetooth, camera, brightness control, audio

I used the kexts from the first post of this thread, but no luck

 

UPDATE 2: Almost everything fixed. The only thing that doesn't work is audio
