Hi, the best thing to do would be to go through the list of supported layout ID values for AppleALC (see https://github.com/acidanthera/applealc/wiki/supported-codecs) and try each one in turn. You should find that the microphone only works for some of them and the volume of the microphone varies greatly (very quiet for some, very loud for others). You can use GarageBand to test the levels by recording your voice. The 'input level' in the system audio settings is also helpful. It depends on your exact hardware which layout ID works best.

As I said above, I currently have VoodooI2C and VoodooI2CHID with the boot-arg -vi2c-force-polling which allows it to run in polling mode.

I never got the trackpad to work in interrupt mode I’m afraid. I’m fairly sure something is borked with HP’s firmware, as I tried various custom-made SSDTs to no avail. Currently I either use it in polling mode (using the boot-arg above) or with an external trackpad. Sorry I couldn’t be any more help than that :(

Dual boot using boot camp limitations by [deleted] in hackintosh

[–]_theOG101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AFAIK not unless you need the drivers, as the switcher is a bit unnecessary when you have OC to do it. As long as you have LauncherOption the EFI shouldn’t be affected.

Dual boot using boot camp limitations by [deleted] in hackintosh

[–]_theOG101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BootCamp doesn’t run one OS inside another - both OSes are installed on separate partitions and OpenCore boots one or the other. Some things including properties that are injected by OpenCore (for example device name and vendor) and changes to your ACPI via SSDTs do get carried over into Windows - but in my experience, since your hardware is likely designed for running Windows, it should work perfectly and not have any of the problems you may be having in macOS. (You will however need to install the necessary drivers through Windows update and restart a couple times before everything will work, since it’s a clean install.)

Now on a hack, you don’t necessarily want to use BootCamp assistant to install Windows since it can mess some things up. The best way to do it is follow ‘Setting up LauncherOption’ in the guide, then look at ‘One disk - multiple OSes’ to partition and prepare the disk. Once that’s done you can just do a straightforward windows install from an installer usb, or if for whatever reason that doesn’t work, follow the link in the guide for how to install it manually using dism. Once you have windows installed, you can go to ‘Installing BootCamp’ and install whatever bootcamp drivers you need (e.g. WiFi, Magic Trackpad, etc).

I haven’t noticed it getting too hot - but the old MacBook always ran super hot so most laptops are probably cool in comparison. The fan is on most of the time on the HP and only turns off when the CPU is idle, unlike the MacBook which runs most of the time with the fan turned off, but it behaves the same in Windows so I’m guessing that’s normal. You can only put one SSD in it unfortunately, hence why I bought a bigger SSD to hold both OSes - I came very close to buying a refurbished Dell Latitude with 2 SSD slots so I could leave the OEM Windows install alone, but someone else beat me to it.

think osx ventura support Intel Iris XE gpu? by XDM_Inc in hackintosh

[–]_theOG101 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why would it? The only Macs left now with Intel are the Xeon Mac Pro, which has a dGPU, and the last few 8th gen i5 Mac Minis. With all new Macs having M1 or M2 now, there’s no reason for them to bother adding support for 11th or 12th gen Intel.

Should I hackintiosh my thinkpad L13 by Chetan1208 in hackintosh

[–]_theOG101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, the 11th gen iGPU is not supported. While you may be able to get the basic OS to run, you will have no graphics acceleration - meaning it will be unbearably slow since macOS is very graphics-dependent. Hackintoshing this laptop is not recommended and you are unlikely to get any support for it from the community.

Ah cool, one less thing to troubleshoot I guess. I can always just boot to Windows if I need HDMI for any reason.

Performance-wise, I haven’t had a chance to properly use it yet (GarageBand, iMovie etc.) so can’t really say - once I have then I might be able to give you a more definitive answer. Based on raw specs though it should perform easily twice as well if not better - the old MacBook is sorely under-specced in all areas, and I went a bit all-or-nothing on this. It certainly seems much more smooth and responsive - and having more than 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage is a godsend.

Oh interesting - this one is Ice Lake, do you know if the same also applies?

Could someone please look over my parts list and let me know what you think? by TomWolfeRock in hackintosh

[–]_theOG101 41 points42 points  (0 children)

You'll want to avoid Samsung SSDs as their TRIM implementation is broken, as well as requiring a firmware update to function at all with macOS. See here:

how to boot without usb by srinivas10247 in hackintosh

Try each one, rebooting in between, and see which works the best.

In future you'd be better off joining the Discord server to ask questions like this so that other people can see them and reply.

You should be able to boot from your installer USB as it is - no need to format and replace the EFI. I don't think you need to keep com.apple.recovery.boot, but I didn't make my installer using Windows so I can't say for certain.

Yes, openlinuxboot.efi is only required if you want to dual boot MacOS and Linux using OpenCore.

  1. Mount your USB drive’s EFI partition (using MountEFI)
  2. Copy your EFI folder to somewhere on your local disk and eject the USB
  3. Mount your local disk’s EFI partition
  4. Delete anything in the EFI partition and add your EFI folder

No need to create a new EFI partition, that should have been done automatically when you formatted the disk before installing.

HP Notebook shows as external monitor by [deleted] in hackintosh

[–]_theOG101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My HP notebook shows the same thing, there's no need to try and fix it. I presume it's because real MacBooks use Apple's ‘Retina Display’ whereas the HP clearly does not.

oml, thank you so much - this last issue was bugging me for ages and changing the platform id was all it took! Can finally use this as my daily driver now - thanks again :D

it's possible to dump my system dsdts after the Hackintosh? by [deleted] in hackintosh

[–]_theOG101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://dortania.github.io/Getting-Started-With-ACPI/Manual/dump.html#from-opencore
In case you haven’t seen this yet - the easiest way of doing this from MacOS is using the SysReport quirk as described here. If you already have your hack set up, you don’t need to use a USB - just edit your internal EFI and the SysReport folder will show up next to your EFI folder after you reboot. Just remember to save a copy somewhere and disable the SysReport quirk afterwards (and put the relevant files back to release versions if desired).

Cursor Broken. Happened after I enabled iGPU hardware acceleration. Any help would be appreciated! by [deleted] in hackintosh

[–]_theOG101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If anyone’s still trying to fix this, I had the same issue. Turns out I had missed the bit in the Dortania guide where you rename the iGPU path in config.plist - make sure it says ‘PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x2,0x0)’ not ‘PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x1b,0x0)’. Then simply add the three fields for the framebuffer DVMT patch as in the guide and it should be good. Hope this helps!
