Need help with Cirrus Logic CS8409 on Inspiron 3505

[Aditya]

In that case, you can use VoodooHDA.

Hi
Today I tried VoodooHDA, and it sadly doesn't work. No audio output devices are shown although SIP is disabled and VoodooHDA loads up in Security and Privacy in preferences. But everything shows "No VoodooHDA output devices found".

Attached below screenshot of Hackintool Sound tab after installing VoodooHDA.
I feel it is only showing my Laptop's HDMI audio controller (Realtek) not the Cirrus Logic which is used for mic and sound output and even AUX.



Kindly suggest next steps to take. Thanks.

Not working.
Maybe I'm using it wrong, on clicking it it gives me a number of files and I've no idea what to do with them.
There's one file that upon clicking gives 4 .pkg files. I've installed all of the .pkgs and it did nothing.

A better explained install instruction will be appreciated. OP's install guide is unclear, and brief.
Thanks.

At this point, I'm just giving up on my hackintosh, everytime i get this far but after this point (audio and wifi/bluetooth) it has never worked with either applealc or voodoohda on my dell inspiron 3505. Also macOS 27 will anyway drop support for x64 devices so hackintosh will be dropped anyway.


Thank you to this community for all the help you all have given me. I will erase my hackintosh off because it is consuming 100gb storage from my 256gb ssd, and not really being much useful, and i cannot afford to just waste this storage space.

Regards. You may close this thread.
Have a good day.
