How to patch AppleHDA

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.

ok, I will wait for your answer, thank you very much!

zarksus · June 28, 2013

hi Mirone

I'm sorry for the insistence. I tried to fix this problem remained of the microphones and the hdmi but unfortunately hopeless. You can find some alternative solution?

I will make an attempt to fix your HDMI and its Applehda.

Return to the files later.

If it is a USB device do not see why it should not work.

What might be happening is that it is not compatible with Mac OS X and so can not see it in the system preferences / sound.

dc31 · August 12, 2013

Mirone Thx for your fast reply.

In pc, I connect my "Martrix USB SPDIF" It will show up a new speaker output device. Also I have try connect to my friend mac book air(10.8), It also have a new device can show up in sound preferences output. I have search internet to get some infomatiaon, some people can show out a USB unkown Digital out device. I'm the first time to patch the applehda.kext, So I think it maybe something I missing to do.

when i dump the codec file, I get 2 file, One is Cx20590, the other is Intel. I just have patch the cx20590 codec file, but I can't see any "Jack Type" in digital-out. When I look the Intel dump file, all the "Jack type" show in digtal-out . So I think that maybe my "pathmaps" problem.

In My layout12.xml I just can see CodecID"0", Do I need to add a CodecID"3" for my Intel codec?

Also some people say that, If miss output device, It may cause by wong binpatch of the kext. I just patch if use the "10ec0887" by the script than replace my codec to the file. But I don't know I do it right or wong.

Hope U can teach me, how to do!!

Thank you!!

Hi @Mirone,

I noticed you are a bit busy on the other applehda thread. However, I would really like to fix my hdmi audio. Now I just wanted to let you know that the VerbsCheat Sheet link no longer working.

I have patched my applehda using the one you provided me for 10.8.2 as a base and now I no longer have audio loss when my system turns off incompletely due to power failure. I am just having trouble understanding the Verbit part of the process. Any explanation would be of help to me. Especially, are we supposed to use the default verbs or the modified ones? Also the pin complex part is a bit complex. I am beginning to understand this entire process so it would be of great help if any member like you can help me understand that part.

This guide is really helpful. otherwise I have to open both the procedure performed by mickey1979 and the other on im to do the whole process.

Mirone · August 17, 2013

hi

@Overclockthesun

you should use the modified verbs, the Verbit makes all the correction for you.

Already sent a file for you to test in another post AppleHDA.

This is an awesome guide.

Explains the entire process

read them carefully.

Hi Artur-pt,

I'm new to this forum, so i'l say HI at first!.

this is excellent guide, but somehow I'm unable to make it work on ALC269 (Mountain Lion).

Can you or someone with knowledge and time modify AppleHDA.kext for mountain line with my codec dump?

I'd really appreciate it. Thanks a million!

Thanks in advance,

fingerr.

boot with -x and

remove voodoohda.

Mirone · September 30, 2013

@crusher

so do not just fix the DSDT, kext have to correct too.

fingerr · September 30, 2013

Already done, but still not working.

I'll try different DSDT patch, because when used this one kext didn't loaded so I used chameleon HDAenabler module and jext got loaded but no sound.

--EDIT--

I've tried this DSDT mod, kext is loaded but no devices detected.

Hello there! I am having a hard time understanding how to set up the path maps for editing the Platform.xml file. If you could help me, that would be tremendously appreciated!
