Please fix your profile first.

Here are the following issues.

Also, the AppleHDA looks modified and you're also using AppleALC. You should choose only one method.

Thanks for your reply,

alright I'll have to check all of what you've suggested

• config.plist is not as per the guide.
  How should it comply, where are the missing parts?
  
  
• ACPI is not patched.
  The system is fully operational without patching, I've never used this method before but after reading online about the process more in depth, is there a specific patch just for audio or I have to patch the whole system
  
  
• The drivers directory is not as per the guide.
  where should I place them?
  
  
• Remove all the kexts installed in S/L/E.
  and install them where? EFI?
  
  
• Also, the AppleHDA looks modified and you're also using AppleALC. You should choose only one method.
  AppleALC is not loading in the first place
  AppleHDA, I searched for layout id in AppleHDA.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleHDAHardwareConfigDriver.kext/Contents/Info.plist , Codec ID is 283902515 = 0x10EC0233 while it should be 283902517 = 0x10EC0235 for ALC233
  DPCIManager/Status listing codec id as 0x10EC0235

How should it comply, where are the missing parts?

I already linked the guide above.

ACPI patching is necessary for Laptops. For more information, read here:

where should I place them?

Again, i liked the installation guide above.

and install them where? EFI?

Of course. You have got many unnecessary kexts installed.

AppleHDA, I searched for layout id in AppleHDA.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleHDAHardwareConfigDriver.kext/Contents/Info.plist , Codec ID is 283902515 = 0x10EC0233 while it should be 283902517 = 0x10EC0235 for ALC233
DPCIManager/Status listing codec id as 0x10EC0235

This is not the correct method. To implement Audio on Laptops, you must patch DSDT, inject a proper layout ID for the Codec in your config.plist and pair it with AppleALC+Lilu. For more information, read here:

@EliteMacx86
I still have this issue on my хps 9333. here is my efi folder (opencore) https://1drv.ms/u/s!As7QXHuuZX69hP0xJgT_nO6TTNrUCQ?e=PpOn7H (can't attach it). And I installed codeccomander and vodoohda via kextBeast. Help me please. When I use speakers, everything ok. Usb audio is ok too.

 

[EliteMacx86]

I installed codeccomander and vodoohda via kextBeast.

As per the guide, you must use one method only. You're using AppleALC and VoodooHDA which is not recommended.

So I need to try commander only?

I removed AppleALC and VoodooHDA (only CodecComm in efi) and now when im trying to run a script im getting this error: "Could not locate CodecCommander kext, ensure it is loaded." (and I have no sound at all lol)

kextcache output:

Please follow the guide properly. All steps has been provided. If you're unable to understand anything, reply to this thread. Again, your configuration is not proper. I suggest to fix that first.

When I following guide step by step I'm getting "Could not locate CodecCommander kext, ensure it is loaded." May be problem in opencore bootloader? My way to cc next is EFI/OC/Kexts/cc.kext
