Audio not working on Sierra 10.12.1

[lordxiniog]

Hi everyone.

A month ago or so I could finally update to Sierra, though I had to do it using a MacBook Air and my SSD as an external drive (with the iMac14.1 configuration set by Clover Configurator on the Clover plist).

Everything went fine but the audio. I read a lot but nothing helped. I waited till the new Multibeast 9 was released and there I found the option to install the kext again. I have a Gigabyte Z-77UP4TH, so selected the ALC892 audio driver, which had always worked pretty fine before. But this time it didn't.

I tried again, all the possible ways (with SIP both enabled and disabled) but nothing seemed to work. And suddenly, after the umpteenth attempt, I got it and I had my audio working.

After that I suffered a disaster with my partition and lost it, but was eventually able to bring the data back. I restored a backup image with El Capitan and followed the same procedure to update to Sierra.

But now I'm unable to get the audio work, even with Multibeast saying "Successful installation". The symptoms: "NO OUTPUT AUDIO DEVICES FOUND" in the Preferences Panel.

I'm currently writing from a different drive with El Capitan fully working (audio included).

Please, I beg you for help to restore my Hack's audio!! Thank you in advance!

Hi @cmn699.

I could finally solve the issue. I followed this tutorial, which enables one to set up the audio in such way that it is not affected when updating, as the kext is injectable from the EFI partition. I followed it to the letter and had no problems. Here is the link:

Hope you find it useful too.

Then I updated my system following this instructions: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/direct-update-to-macos-sierra-using-clover.201465/

Now I have my Mac OS Sierra fully operative.

Thank you for everything. Regards.
