What are your results when running this command in terminal?

kextstat | grep -E "AppleHDA|AppleALC|Lilu"

Go to Midi Audio Settings and create an aggregate device, although it may not let you adjust volume of the device once you've done so.

huyhoang8398 commented 3 years ago

@aidanchandra what is your AppleAlc version, thus I see the same issues with Alc285 from this repo https://github.com/jpransxdev/HP-Spectre-X360-13-Early-2019-Hackintosh

Im currently using it, but it a little anoying

aidanchandra commented 3 years ago

Sorry I misunderstand what your problem is then if you've already got the aggregate device working? Please be more clear. Also, my appleALC version is exactly what is on this repo.

sorry for asking unclear question, I mean do we have a better solution for combining 4 speaker?

aidanchandra commented 3 years ago

Simply put, there is no better solution. Realtek alone makes approx 800 different codecs, many of which are active in production. Apple only uses a handful of them by default. Opencore and appleALC are therefore made to work across nearly thousands of different codecs. AppleALC is amazing at doing everything ok and bad at doing specific CODECs perfectly. Sadly, we are one of the unlucky codecs.

There's a process to add full support for a new codec to AppleALC. Please go to their repo and investigate. If you would like this repo's help, I can say for a fact that I'm glad to help out, but your efforts are not meant to be directed here, but rather, on their kext.

Best
