Hello @opensilence

  1. Download the appropriate version and extract the zip file. Let’s assume that you downloaded “ALCPlugFix-Swift-RELEASE-1.5.zip” to download folder, and extracted the zip file in the same place (by double-clicking). You would have a new folder “ALCPlugFix-Swift-RELEASE-1.5” created. Right-Mouse-Click on the new folder icon -> Services -> New Terminal at Folder. A new terminal window would be opened at the current folder path: /Users/YOURNAME/Downloads/ALCPlugFix-Swift-RELEASE-1.5 (You can type “pwd” to verify it)

  2. Copy the edited sample.plist file (in this case: ALC295-DELL7400.plist) to somewhere safe. I placed it in “MacOS\users\shared”, where MacOS is the name for my macOS drive. You may have a different name.

  3. At the terminal (opened in step 1), type: ./install.sh Follow the instruction. When it asked for .plist file, drag “ALC295-DELL7400.plist” icon to the terminal, from the location you stored in step 2 above (in my case, it is from “MacOS\users\shared\”).

You may encounter message like "ALCPlugFix is from unknown source” (1st time install) , just ignore it. After install is completed, go to folder: /usr/local/bin (this is where ALCPlugFix is installed). Right-Mouse-Click on ALCPlugFix icon -> Open, then Open again to allow it to run. This would give it the permission to run.

"alcverbs=1 alcid=77" boot args are included in my EFI but if you use your EFI don't forget to put it in your config.

Reboot.

Enjoy
