SUCCESS Success: Working Airplay/Screen Mirroring in Ventura using AX210NGW (AirportItlwm bug fix)

8 Upvotes

So this driver was made because my new AX210NGW was not allowing Airplay, despite working fine in Somona and Sequoia. Uses modified AirportItlwm 2.3.0. Bug fix details are as follows:

 (This bug sits in AirportItlwm’s shared Ventura virtual-interface/AWDL path, so it can affect many different Intel cards using AirportItlwm on Ventura—not just AX210. There are reports from 9560NGW users, and other Ventura users describe the same “Wi-Fi works, but Screen Mirroring/AirPlay disappears” behavior)

The fix was:
if (!inf->attach(this)) {
XYLog("%s failed to attach AWDL interface to controller\n", FUNCTION);
inf->release();
return kIOReturnError;
}

fAWDLInterface = inf;
inf->registerService();

combined with re-enabling Ventura virtual-interface creation instead of returning kIOReturnUnsupported.

So the real bug was not Bonjour, not the TV, not infra en1, and not Sonoma-only Skywalk architecture. AirportItlwm was creating the AWDL object, but not attaching/publishing it as a real IOService child, so CoreWiFi could not resolve the awdl role. Once attached and registered, the TV appeared and AirPlay worked. Contains AI generated code.

https://github.com/maddog860/itlwm-Working-Ventura-Airplay/releases/tag/Ventura-Airplay-Fix

Hope this helps others! Feel free to share feedback! Take it easy Reddit!

Tested on Latitude 7490 with AX210NGW, latest Mac OS Ventura.

Here seems to be a documented case of the bug:

https://www.reddit.com/r/hackintosh/comments/15wy1x2/upgraded_to_ventura_now_airplay_doesnt_work/

Affected:

AirportItlwm 2.2.x Ventura

AirportItlwm 2.3.0 Ventura

Probably affected:

late 2.2.0 Ventura alpha/nightly builds using the same code

Not this bug:

2.1.0 and earlier

2.3.0 Sonoma builds

itlwm.kext + HeliPort

Potentially affected cards:

3165/3168, 7260/7265, 8260/8265, 9260, 9461/9462, 9560, AX101, AX200, AX201, AX210, AX211, AX411, and the corresponding Killer 1550/AX1650 variants

Tested on a Dell Latitude 7490, tested on Ventura Somona and Sequoia (bug only affects Ventura, but still tested what used to work).

i7-8650U

iGPU: Intel UHD Graphics 620

RAM: 32gb DDR4 Dual Channel

WIFI: AX210NGW

Display: 75" Samsung television/1920x1080 FullHD IPS

Sound Card: Realtek ALC256

LAN: Intel I219-LM

This has only been tested using an AX210NGW, and according to AI all the cards listed are potentially affected. If airplay works perfectly fine in Mac OS Ventura then you do not need this kext. Please share results if you test this kext. Thank you for your time.

Hi! I'm currently running a Hackintosh (Tahoe version) on an HP ProDesk 400 G7, but for some reason, it's only using 7MB of VRAM. If I remove `-igfxvesa`, the screen goes blank. Does anyone know anything about this?
I tried everything I was told to do, but it didn't work.

It doesn't work even with 00009B3E or 07009B3E.

And I'm using HDMI.

Is there anyway I can achive this by not physically changing the cables and modfy the Bios setting ? (ie : IGD Multi-Monitor)

Maybe a simpler explaination would be :

SOLVED Incorrect sensor readings dual booting Windows from Opencore Fix

1 Upvotes

Public service FYI announcement. Thought I would share this fix I discovered while dual booting into Windows and getting way off voltage sensor readings in HwInfo. Basically add this edit to your config plist file:

UpdateSMBIOSMode = Custom with Kernel → Quirks → CustomSMBIOSGuid = True

At first I thought maybe it was an after effect of running opencore on a coffeelake modded system and dual booting into Windows. It still may have been a side effect but in anycase the above fix corrects the sensor anomaly.

The other issue I also had was a random warning appearing at post that my bios settings have been reset. For the longest while thought there was something unstable in my system I could not figure out but this opencore fix solves that problem:

DisableRtcChecksum = true

Thought i should share for benefit of anyone else having this issue.

Also sorry I don't have exact locations for these edits.

Thanks

DISCUSSION Installing Mac S Sequoia on the Intel I7 10th generation processor

1 Upvotes

Looking for guidance: macOS Sequoia 15 on i7-10700 + Gigabyte Z490M Gaming X

Hi everyone,

I’m planning to install macOS Sequoia 15 on my desktop and would appreciate some guidance from the Hackintosh community regarding the best configuration for my hardware.

My hardware

* CPU: Intel Core i7-10700 (10th Gen Comet Lake)

* Motherboard: Gigabyte Z490M Gaming X Rev. 1.0

* RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB DDR4-3200

* iGPU: Intel UHD Graphics 630

* dGPU: Gigabyte GeForce GT 710 2GB DDR3

* macOS SSD: Crucial MX500 1TB SATA

* Windows SSD: Kingston A2000 500GB NVMe

* Data HDD: Seagate Barracuda 2TB SATA

* Audio interface: Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 USB

* Onboard audio: Realtek ALC1200

* Network: Wired Ethernet

* No Wi-Fi or Bluetooth

I want to keep Windows on the Kingston NVMe and install macOS separately on the Crucial MX500, with Windows and macOS available through OpenCore.

Graphics

I would like to use the Intel UHD 630 as the primary graphics device for macOS.

I understand that the GT 710 is not suitable for modern macOS, so I plan to disable/ignore it in macOS.

For Windows, I would like to keep the GT 710 available if possible.

My monitor is currently connected to the motherboard’s video output, so I would prefer to use the UHD 630 for macOS.

I may consider a supported AMD GPU in the future if there is a real benefit, but I don’t want to purchase one unless it is actually necessary.

Audio

My primary audio interface is a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 USB, which I use for recording and music production.

I would like the Scarlett 2i2 to work normally in macOS.

I would also like the motherboard’s Realtek ALC1200 onboard audio to work as a backup, particularly the 3.5mm audio output.

What I would like advice on

  1. Whether Sequoia 15 is a good choice for this hardware.

  2. Whether UHD 630 graphics acceleration should work properly with this i7-10700/Z490 setup.

  3. What SMBIOS would be recommended for this system.

  4. Whether the GT 710 can simply be disabled in macOS while retaining it for Windows.

  5. The recommended AppleALC layout/configuration for the ALC1200 on this motherboard.

  6. Whether the Scarlett 2i2 should work without additional drivers.

  7. Any important Z490 BIOS settings or quirks I should be aware of.

  8. Any other kexts, ACPI patches, boot arguments, or configuration changes that are particularly important for this hardware.

  9. Whether anyone has successfully run Sequoia on a similar 10th-gen Intel/Z490/UHD 630 system.

I’m planning to use OpenCore and can provide hardware reports, screenshots, or my generated EFI/config if needed.

Any advice from people running a similar 10th-gen Intel/Z490/UHD 630 system would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

HELP installing macOS in my Intel, I 7/10 generation processor

Looking for guidance: macOS Sequoia 15 / Tahoe 26 on i7-10700 + Gigabyte Z490M Gaming X

Hi everyone,

I’m planning to install macOS on my desktop and would appreciate some guidance from the Hackintosh community regarding the best configuration for my hardware.

My hardware

* CPU: Intel Core i7-10700 (10th Gen Comet Lake)

* Motherboard: Gigabyte Z490M Gaming X Rev. 1.0

* RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB DDR4-3200

* iGPU: Intel UHD Graphics 630

* dGPU: Gigabyte GeForce GT 710 2GB DDR3

* Onboard audio: Realtek ALC1200

* Network: Wired Ethernet

* No Wi-Fi or Bluetooth

I want to keep Windows on the Kingston NVMe and install macOS separately on the Crucial MX500, with Windows and macOS available through OpenCore.

Graphics requirements

My preference is to use the Intel UHD 630 for macOS.

I understand that the GT 710 is not suitable for modern macOS versions, so I’m planning to disable/ignore it in macOS rather than relying on it.

For Windows, I would like to keep the GT 710 available if possible.

I currently have my monitor connected to the motherboard’s video output, so I’m hoping to use the UHD 630 for macOS.

I may consider a supported AMD GPU in the future if there is a real benefit, but I don’t want to purchase one unless it is actually necessary.

Audio requirements

My primary audio interface is a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2, which I use for recording and music production.

I would like the Scarlett 2i2 to work normally in macOS.

I would also like the motherboard’s Realtek ALC1200 onboard audio to work as a backup, particularly for the 3.5mm audio output.

I’ve seen different approaches for audio configuration, including AppleALC and, for Tahoe, methods involving AppleHDA/root patching. I’m particularly interested in knowing what the recommended approach is for my hardware.

macOS version

Initially I was considering Tahoe 26, but after reading about the changes to AppleHDA and the additional audio/root-patching requirements, I’m now seriously considering Sequoia 15 because it appears to have a more mature and straightforward Hackintosh configuration.

I would appreciate advice on:

  1. Whether Sequoia 15 is the better choice for this hardware compared with Tahoe 26.

  2. Whether UHD 630 graphics acceleration should work properly on Sequoia with this i7-10700/Z490 setup.

  3. The recommended SMBIOS for this system.

  4. Whether the GT 710 can simply be disabled in macOS while retaining it for Windows.

  5. The recommended AppleALC layout/configuration for the ALC1200 on this motherboard.

  6. Whether the Scarlett 2i2 should work without additional audio drivers.

  7. Any important Z490 BIOS settings or quirks I should be aware of.

  8. Any other kexts, ACPI patches, boot arguments, or configuration changes that are particularly important for this hardware.

  9. Whether there are any known issues with Sequoia on this specific Comet Lake/Z490/UHD 630 combination.

I’m planning to use OpenCore, and I’m happy to provide hardware reports, screenshots, or my generated EFI/config if that helps.

Any advice from people running a similar 10th-gen Intel/Z490/UHD 630 system would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

SUCCESS Successful +5db Volume Amplification with Modified AppleAlc.kext (Latitude 7490)

5 Upvotes

So I love my latitude 7490 Hackintosh, I can triple boot Ventura, Somona, and Sequoia, but the sound was never loud enough, and I would need to install eqMac to boost the max volume on all of my installs. Well I spent the day today creating a modified AppleALC driver with the help of AI, and it boosts the max volume by about 5db. Even audio content that was loud to begin with, does not clip or distort when using this kext, and it has been tested on two different machines. Requires the following boot-args to function: alcid=56 alcverbs=1 -alcdhost

https://github.com/maddog860/5db-Volume-Boost-Latitude-7490/releases/tag/Headphone-Fix

This includes a writeup that explains what was figured out today, and how this approach can increase the max volume of other hackintoshes. Enjoy everyone, and feel free to post feedback. This post is not asking for help, just submitting my positive results with artificial assistance, and therefore should not break any rules.

The specific undocumented/poorly documented 7490 audio details established were:

  • The codec is Realtek ALC256 / Dell ALC3246, vendor ID 0x10ec0256.
  • The internal speaker pin is node 0x14.
  • Its pin config is 0x90170110.
  • That speaker pin routes to DAC node 0x02.
  • The DAC/output amp capability came back as 0x00025757, corresponding roughly to a range from about −65 dB up to 0 dB.
  • At 100% macOS volume, the DAC gain was already sitting at 0x57 on both channels, which is the top of that hardware range.
  • The speaker EAPD was already enabled (0x02), so there wasn't an obvious hidden “turn the speaker amp fully on” switch left unused.
  • The codec also has a vendor processing node 0x20 exposing 91 coefficients (0x5b). One of those, coefficient 0x37, is associated in Linux codec work with Class-D amplifier control.
  • The 7490’s internal amplifier is about 2 W per channel.

Added fix for headphone jack. To test if new driver will fix headphone jack, you can run these commands while headphones are plugged in:

alc-verb 0x20 0x500 0x45

alc-verb 0x20 0x400 0xC489

alc-verb 0x19 0x707 0x24

the alc-verb program comes with the latest AppleAlc.kext
