Need help with Cirrus Logic CS8409 on Inspiron 3505

[Aditya]

Hi, I've been able to successfully install hackintosh macOS Ventura on my Dell Inspiron 3505 (Ryzen 5 3450U, 8+256, Vega 8). However, audio is not working despite using AppleALC with many tested alcid ids. (tried about 40). Also VoodooHDA is also not working, despite SIP disabled and the kext loading up, audio output does not show.

Kindly help on how to get this audio part working.

Note that this laptop also uses Realtek ALC3204 for HDMI audio. CS is responsible for speakers and headphone output.

Screenshot of audio tab in Hackintool attached below.


Thanks.

You'll have to patch IRQ.

Kindly guide me or atleast link me to a guide that help me do the same.

Also just asking, is it a hassle or time consuming job? I have irl deadlines and in such a case I will do it later.

Edit: also, will this method guarantee get my audio working?

How to Fix IRQ Conflicts on macOS [Clover/OpenCore]

This guide covers fixing of IRQ Conflicts on macOS, supported by Clover and OpenCore. By following this guide, you'll be able to patch out the IRQ Conflicts.

I. Overview

On a few systems, patching IRQ might be required and is required on almost all laptops. The IRQ patching is not required by every system, but mostly on OEM systems (such as Dell and HP). These fixes are needed mainly for onboard Audio/USB/Thunderbolt/FireWire. For a few systems, the RTC and HPET tend to take IRQs from other devices like...

Done. Patched IRQ, added HPET aml and also made necessary changes to config.plist. Now what to do next? Should I keep AppleALC.kext in kexts? And if so, what alcid to use in boot-args? If not, what to do?

Of course, you need the AppleALC.kext in the EFI/OC/Kexts directory. Plus, the Audio layout should be according to your audio codec.

My audio codec (Cirrus Logic CS8409) is not on AppleALC's list of supported audio codecs.
Any other method?
