Hey Guys,

I tried to fix audio distortion/crackling sound following the same process on this thread here, Audio Codec ALC233 :
https://www.elitemacx86.com/threads/fix-audio-distortion-when-using-headphones-on-laptops.185/ but it didn't work

I am going to upload everything in the following Zip file: ALC233 Profile.zip
Details:
  1. Audio Codec (full list of information taken from Linux):
    cat /proc/asound/cards
    lspci -v | grep -i audio
    aplay --list-devices
    cat /proc/asound/
    cat /proc/asound/card1/codec#0

  2. macOS version/CPU/GPU
  3. Copy of IOReg
  4. Method used for enabling Audio
  5. Installed CodecCommander.kext
  6. Output of (in Terminal):
Code:
 sudo kextcache -i/

Screen shots:
  • DPCIManager/Status
  • System Information/Hardware/Audio/Intel High Definition Audio (All available devices)
  • System Preferences/Sound/Output
  • System Preferences/Sound/Input
Clover Files :
  • Compress EFI/Clover, excluding the themes folder


Any help would be much appreciated :)
