audio, bluetooth, wifi and screen flickering on Dell E6230

Q: What is a Hackintosh?

A non-Apple computer configured to run macOS using compatible PC hardware combined with a custom bootloader and configuration files to emulate a real Mac environment.

Q: Is building a Hackintosh legal?

Installing macOS on non-Apple hardware violates Apple’s End User License Agreement (EULA). It is generally not illegal for personal experimentation but not permitted for commercial use.

Q: What hardware is best for a Hackintosh?

The best hardware closely matches real Apple systems, with Intel CPUs (6th Gen to Core Ultra), AMD Radeon GPUs, compatible chipsets, and Intel-based Wi-Fi cards offering higher success rates.

Q: Can I build a Hackintosh with an AMD CPU?

Yes, macOS can run on AMD Ryzen CPUs using kernel patches, but Intel CPUs provide better native compatibility.

Q: What is OpenCore?

OpenCore is a modern Hackintosh bootloader that provides near-native macOS behavior and is the recommended bootloader for new installations.

Q: Is Clover still supported?

Yes, Clover is still supported but less recommended compared to OpenCore for modern systems.

Q: Which macOS versions support Hackintosh?

Hackintosh systems support macOS versions from Leopard up to recent releases, depending on hardware compatibility.

Q: Do NVIDIA graphics cards work on Hackintosh?

Only older NVIDIA GPUs work on older macOS versions; modern NVIDIA GPUs are incompatible with current macOS releases due to lack of driver support.

Q: What is an EFI folder?

The EFI folder contains the bootloader, drivers, kexts, and configuration files required to boot macOS on a Hackintosh.

Q: What are kexts?

Kexts (kernel extensions) are drivers that enable hardware functionality such as audio, Ethernet, USB, and graphics.

Hello. Can someone help me out with Audio , bluetooth and wifi for my Dell E6230 running Catalina with OpenCore 0.6.4? Also the screen flickers every 2-3 seconds for no reason, even if I'm not moving the mouse. Everything works great except this. I have also tried AppleALC 1.5.5 with layout-id 12. I am attaching photos with all the infos and also my config.plist. Thanks in advance!

Laptop specs:

Dell Latitude E6230 - Intel Core i7 - 3540M @ 3 Ghz / 16 GB of RAM / Intel HD 4000 Graphics / 512 GB SSD.

Any help would be appreciated

Hello,

I've followed the easy audio solution step by step and also I looked for an efi folder for my chipset... Tried all the methods, still couldn't make it work

I owe you a beer my friend. VoodooHDA fixed it. Any ideas regarding the screen flickering issue? Also when I'm restarting the laptop, Looks like my intel hd 4000 it's recognized in "About Mac" section but doesn't work ok. I can see this screen when rebooting

try other video patch

this notebook have csm option in bios/uefi setup?

Teodor Lopataru · December 22, 2020

I was just looking in BIOS for CSM but I couldn't locate it so I think it doesn't have this option.
