Is onboard Audio working? #5

Hi @roederja,

Thank you very much for uploading your EFI and being brave to try a new generation motherboard. With your successful experience, I'm also planning to buy the same board to build a small ITX config, without discrete GPU for now. Can you tell me if onboard audio ports are working fine? I see on the motherboard documentation that they are using supposedly a custom HD Audio (ROG SupremexFX 7.1) and AppleALC.kext is more for standard codecs. I won't need the 7.1 features but at least standard DP audio and audio input/output for a headset would be nice.

On my current hackintosh from 2013 I have to use an USB audio dongle as available solutions (Voodoo, AppleALC, AppleHDA, HDMI patches, etc) gave me trouble after upgrading to High Sierra but this was in the past.

Line out works fine (for stereo speakers - 2.0). Haven't tried the other ports, but they do show up in the sound control panel: Input Output

Emprint commented 3 years ago

Thank you for your answer. I see the following connections on the rear shield :

Maybe some would only show if something is connected to it. Anyway I would not be using most of those, one input and one output is enough for most situations. And there should be also connections for front panel but I think with your case you don't have front audio, maybe that is why it does not show.

roederja commented 3 years ago

I think they are all there. Line out on the shield -> Internal speakers. Sub and Rear are the other two Line out. Same for inputs I assume. Not sure about the front audio. Could be that they are just a different way to connect to the same port?

Emprint commented 3 years ago

Yes it makes sense, probably the front panel are just direct connection to the same. Thanks.

On my previous hackintosh at some point I used a SSDT made by somebody else and the ports had labels like "Pink rear port", "Green port", etc.

I'm still hesitating between this motherboard and AsRock B460M-ITX that is 30% cheaper. (110 vs 160€), I'm still leaning towards this one though because it has 2 x M2 ports and USB C 20.

Thanks again for your help and for sharing your build.

roederja commented 3 years ago

That AsRock board seems very low budget. Only 4 USB ports and a PS/2 port instead and a silver I/O shild. I would discard that on looks alone ;)

Emprint commented 3 years ago

Yes it’s true it is a bit rough...

Emprint commented 3 years ago

As a follow up, I did not add the audio device-id in config.plist because with it I had audio issues in Big Sur (nothing present in the input/output devices), so removed it and just AppleALC.kext is enough.

@roederja I think you can close this issue

Is there a way to make DP audio work?

roederja commented 3 years ago

DP = DisplayPort? I don't know - don't have a device to test this with

dmikhalsky commented 3 years ago

Yes, DisplayPort. I have a monitor with built-in speakers. btw, thanks for TREMENDOUS job. I am very new to Hackintosh but everything is working from first try.

Emprint commented 3 years ago

I think Display Port audio works fine, I believe my father's display is using display port and has integrated HP and they do work.
