ALC889 possible with CSR activated under 10.11? #25

Hi,

first thanks for all the great tools and instructions found here.

My system: Z68X-UD3H-B3 (ALC889 onboard audio) with i7-2600k cpu (HD3000). OSX 10.11 and using latest Clover.

Question: Is it possible make Realtek ALC889 work, by just modifying Clover's config.plist, patch the DSDT and putting Kexts in /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/10.11? So no unsigned kexts are in S/L/E or /L/E?

Reason: I want to run El Capitan with CSR active (=not having the, in the Readme.txt mentioned requirement of rootless=0 - or now since this is depreciated, by using CsrActiveConfig to 0x3 in Clovers config.plist).

No. The bootloader does not configure the codec, OS X does. Codec specific layout and pathmap are loaded with AppleHDA binary. Once installed, set csr=0. csr=3 is only required to install system files and rebuild kernel cache for unsigned kexts, OS X installs and updates.
