Bringing MacBook running OCLP at Apple Store.

I recently bought a maxed out 15-inch 2015 MacBook Pro for cheap. I wanted to see if I could get a free battery replacement from Apple as certain 2015 models were recalled in 2019. Luckily my MacBook qualifies and I’m bringing it in this week. I bought an nvme drive for it and was planning on installing it tonight along with Sonoma using OCLP. Would they no longer repair my MacBook seeing it is modified? Would it be best I just wait till the repair is finished? Has anyone had any experience with bringing modified MacBooks to the Apple Store?

Thanks!!

Audio Buzzing and Cracking

I can't get audio working for the life of me. I am running MacOS Sonoma 14.5 on an Asus Vivobook with OCLP.

Specs:

  • i5-4200U
  • Intel HD 4400
  • Realtek ALC 233/3236

I have tried all the layout IDs and found that 28 or 29 work fine. I set it to 28 currently.

The problem is that there is this annoying buzzing in the audio from both the Headphone Jack and the Internal Speaker.

I used rehabman's codeccommander on bitbucket and it worked, sort of... Audio would sound buzzy as always but after putting it to sleep and waking it up, both speaker and headphone work perfectly.

I made a post before and a Kind Redditor suggested I use AlcPlugFix-Swift and my headphones started working fine but no matter if i put laptop to sleep, the Speaker output still sounds buzzy.

Also, when there is no nothing being outputted, there is also strange static noise present in the background.

Buying an External Sound Card is out of the question for me unfortunately. Any help would be appreciated 👍. Thanks in Advance !

Odyssey G7 (LC27G75T) at 1440p 240 Hz doesn't work

The way this manifests specifically is that the signal keeps dropping out, at least from the perspective of the display. Just to be clear here, 1440p and 240 Hz (including VRR, but whether it's used or not doesn't have any impact) individually function, but it's just when they're combined together that it breaks. Another odd thing that happens is that sometimes when attempting to switch to a different configuration the monitor seemingly turns off completely, however this is remedied by just moving the mouse around, unless attempting 1440p at 240 Hz in which case I have to unplug the monitor from the computer to be able to do anything with it (including accessing its OSD).

I think this is specifically a Hackintosh issue because I couldn't find anyone else mentioning it and it works fine in Windows (on the same hardware, of course).

Relevant hardware (I think):

  • Intel Core i5 12500

  • ASRock H470-ITX/ax

  • Sapphire Radeon RX 6600 PULSE

CFG lock in bios keeps resetting back on.

Sorry if this is the wrong subreddit for this question.

So recently I followed guides to unlock CFG LOCK in the bios so that I could use throttlestop to undervolt a Razer blade 15 advanced 2021 laptop since the cpu cus runs extremely hot (i7 10875H), and I was successful, went in the bios with ru.efi and changed the CFG LOCK and OVERCLOCKING LOCK bits from 01 to 00, and saved. After that I rebooted, enabled secure boot etc, and successfully undervolted the cpu.

Everything was working perfectly but then the next day I check throttle stop and the voltage controls are greyed out once again, so then I did the procedure and went in the bios editor, and once again, those two bits are now 01. I do not know if this happened after reboot or something else, I didn't have any windows updates nor driver updates, and ofc no bios updates (that I know of, is automatic bios updates behind my back even possible??). I am completely dumbfounded by this, and there seems to be no one talking about this weird issue that I could find.

And yes, I did save the changes, infact I did it all over again a second time, and now after like 12 hours it has reset again, so I am writing here. Any ideas?

Second OCLP install: MBA2011 to Monterey smooth as silk

After doing my first OCLP on a Mini2012 I realized we have this MBA2011 at the shop we use for rare customer "Mac support" (very limited just need to run 1 or 2 basic apps to demo/teach the super rare customers who don't want to / can't use the Windows apps) and so I figured I'd try it there too.

Chucked Monterey on yesterday, knowing the ropes this time, it went even faster on that, and, that computer seems to run even better than the Mini despite being older and having less memory. It's so "just everything opens normally" fast that there would be no excuse not to just use it as a normal daily computer. Wasn't like that on the "last supported" OS - Catalina or whatever it was I forget. Really suggests some more Apple skullduggery to make old gear 'obsolete'.

Anyway - OCLP rocks. I fee like going to go around and buy old junk Macs from people for cheap just to re-animate them :^)

The frequency of the monitor on the lock screen and desktop (macos sonoma)

Hi. LG gl850 monitor. macOS Sonoma. I set 120 hz in the system so that the video card would not heat up. But when loading on the lock screen (entering the password), the monitor frequency is 144 hz. Because of this, the transition to the desktop occurs with flashing (the frequency changes from 144 to 120 hz).It 's annoying . How to make the frequency of the monitor on the lock screen and the desktop match. This happens exactly at the first boot. Monterey and ventura also had this flashing at...

Making macOS ignore my Samsung NVMe

I created a hackintosh via following the dortania guide, and it boots fine in the recovery os but then its stuck on "examining volumes" (Waited 5 minutes before restarting my PC).

I'm pretty sure that the reason is because I have a Samsung 970 EVO Plus NVMe SSD installed, because I never had this issue with my old NVMe. I can spare a sata kingston SSD for macOS, but is there any way to make macOS ignore the Samsung NVMe?

(Latest firmware is installed on the NVMe)

Config:

  • GPU: AMD Radeon RX 480
  • CPU: Intel i3-9100F
  • RAM: Kingston Fury Beast 1x16GB
  • Mobo: MSI B360 Gaming Plus

Sonoma system update

I am running Catalina and notice in the system there is an update to Sonoma will it work if I just select update or do I have to do and install process using a usb stick

Does anyone know if RX 6850M XT GPU will work on Hackintosh?

I'm planning to buy AMD Laptop with Radeon GPU from series RX 6000 (Since series RX 7000 likely won't be supported).
I know the supported AMD GPU series RX 6000 starts from RX 6400 up to RX 6950 XT
The laptop I'm planning to buy has RX 6850m XT (Since it's latest mobile version of series RX 6000).
So does anyone knows if RX 6850M XT GPU will work on Hackintosh? if not, then what is latest mobile GPU from series RX 6000 would work on Hackintosh? anyone mainly tried mobile version of series RX 6000 on Hackintosh?

No DP or VGA output on Sonoma

I'm running macOS Sonoma on my HP EliteBook 820 G2 (using OCLP, hope this is appropriate here). Everything works perfectly, except I can't connect external displays to my laptop, DP or VGA. My laptop doesn't react or do anything when I plug my displays in. These ports used to work normally on Ventura (also with OCLP). I don't know if there's anything I have to change or patch to make them work?

  • intel dual band AC7265

When the macOS Sonoma installer reboots and the count comes to "less than a minute remaining", after some time, the screen goes black but the laptop is on.

Upgrading from Big Sur to Monterey on non-metal

I have a 2009 iMac with a non-metal GPU running Big Sur but I want to upgrade to Monterey. The only problem is maps as it won’t work on Monterey with non-metal GPU. I was thinking if I could use the Big Sur version of maps(taken from the applications folder) on Monterey or something like that.

MBAir Mid2013/Sonoma14.3.1: simple graphics make system irresponsive

We've got OCLP 1.4 installed om a MacBook Air 13.3" Mid 2013 running Sonoma 14.3.1. This Mac features a 1.3 GHz Dualcore i5 processor and a Intel HD Graphics 5000 1536 MB.

However, a few days ago, the system suddenly started to behave differently after a reboot. It now has significant problems loading simple system graphics, such as the 'genie effect' when minimizing a window, and becomes unresponsive for several seconds. It takes a while to react, and everything becomes blocky. Additionally, the dock is no longer transparent. It now has a black box with a white outline.

We are not aware of any updates performed after the reboot; it seemed like a simple restart.

To try to resolve the issue, I updated OCLP from version 1.4.x to 1.5. Although it's now running OCLP 1.5, the problem persists. I also reinstalled the post-install Root Patch and redid the 'Build and Install OpenCore' steps, but none of these steps made a difference. Of course I also rebooted the system a few times.

Does anyone have any ideas on what else we can try to make the Mac usable again?

Any issues running with Rocket Lake?

I've read through about a dozen threads about Rocket Lake here, and they're all about getting it to work (which it will).

What I'm wondering, as I'm looking at prices and performance comparisons to build a new Hackintosh, is if there are any issues once you have your Hackintosh up and running on a Rocket Lake CPU spoofed as Comet Lake?

For instance, I have successfully built a Ryzen 7 1700-based Hackintosh, but it of course has a bunch of drawbacks, even though it runs fast and stable. Wine crashes, for instance. VMware and Parallels won't run. Adobe apps among others won't run, etc.

So even though the answer to "Can I run macOS on an AMD system?" is yes, the long story is more complicated, as there are other issues once you have it working.

Are there any such issues with running a Rocket Lake-based Hackintosh? That is to say, compared to running a Comet Lake-based one. If there aren't, I see no reason not to buy a Rocket Lake CPU instead of a Comet Lake one, as they're faster, use a little less power, and generally cheaper.

Thank you for your time.

Switching between two GPUs for dual boot

I'd like to install two GPUs onto a single mobo (the ASRock z690 taichi) one for the hackintosh and one for Windows. When I boot in to windows I'll use the rx7900xt and when I boot in to Macos I'll use the rx6800xt. What's the best way to do this? Would I have to enter the bios each time and choose which card to use? My monitor has dual hdmi ports so I'll just connect both cards to my monitor.

Does there exist some sort of a switching hub where in I'll connect both GPUs to the hub and also my monitor to the hub and with just a press of a button I can choose which card to use?

It'll never be as fast as an M(x), it won't have AI. But it is so solid. Fast for me as a daily driver for work, I don't do compute intensive video editing, etc. productivity, dev, hobby stuff). It did take work, but that's part of the hackintosh experience I signed up for.

Eventually, when i can't use this anymore, i'll upgrade to the M(x) whatever at that point.
