Yes. Just make sure to disable SIP and after adding the plugins rerun the commands given in the Innie installation instructions.

Many thanks, I will try it and post the results

Thanks!! I noticed it pointed back to a download for the mac EFI ROM.. do you happen to know if/where similar ROMs exist for the newer cards like the Titan? Just curious.. thanks.

I have scoured the internet and as of yet I’ve had no luck in finding any of the latest cards rom files, macvidcards write their own and as such are proprietary.
I keep looking though.

The plugin requires a modification to work with Mojave. Until the original author updates the plugin, I'm including here my build, which should work.

Thank you for this build, however I did want to mention one issue I've seen. I disabled SIP and installed Lilu with Innie, ALC, and your modified NightShiftUnlocker. Everything works great so long as SIP remains disabled. If I reenable SIP, Innie and ALC continue to work fine, however NightShiftUnlocker does not. Any time I attempt to pull up a UI element that references Night Shift (such as the Notification Center or Display Preferences) macOS locks up, and I have to force quit the offending app. Disabling SIP fixes the issue, though it would be nice (if possible) to maintain Night Shift functionality without the need to permanently disable SIP.

When you reboot to enable sip
Use the flag csrutil — without kext

I have observed the same issue.

Unfortunately, for NightShiftUnlocker, "without kext" is not enough. What I found works best is

csrutil enable --without kext --without fs

Is nightshift unlocker another liluplugin???

Is nightshift unlocker another liluplugin???

Yes. See post #57 for a Mojave-compatible build; the original version is here.

Ive been using F.LUX with some success
Would it be the same as innie
Place kext in lilu plugin folder and run the terminal commands again
Reboot and I have native night shift ????

Yes (provided that your monitor allows for Night Shift).

 

[GSXB]

It allows f.lux is there any way of telling

AFAIK, no way to tell until you try it. F.lux use another approach, can’t tell if night shift is supported.

thunder72fr made a post in the PULSE RX580 ROM study thread about that he can get HDMI audio working properly in Mojave with just Lilu.kext and AppleALC.kext installed.

I further tested it on my own cMP and confirmed it can work. And the process is simpler than HDMIAudio.kext + AppleHDA.kext patch.

However, I have no idea if this method also work on any other cards. If we can confirm this method work on most cards, or figured out the specific conditions, then I think I can put this method in the sticky thread.

So, if anyone looking for HDMI / Displayport audio, please try the following steps.

1) Disable SIP (in my case, I disabled Gatekeeper as well, not sure if make any difference)

2) Make sure HDMIAudio.kext is NOT installed. If it's installed, REMOVE it from the System/Library/Extension folder.

3) Make sure the AppleHDA.kext is NOT patched. If not, revert it (you should always make a backup of the original kext before patch it)

4) Download AppleALC.kext V1.3.2 (Link)

5) Download Lilu.kext V1.2.7 (Link)

6) Download KextUtility V2.6.6 (Link)

7) Unzip everything

8) Open Kext Utility (enter your admin password as required), it will auto perform some maintenance job, let it finish. You will see something like this

9) Drag Lilu.kext into the Kext Utility window. Again, enter password as required, and let it finish its job.

10) Drag AppleALC.kext into Kext Utility windows, enter password as required, and let it finish its job

11) Reboot

N.B For Nvidia card users, you may need WhateverGreen.kext V1.2.3 (Link) as well. If the above steps doesn't work, you may install this kext (via kext utility) and try again.

After test, please leave a post and tell us your graphic card model with details. e.g. Sapphire PULSE RX580 8GB, but not just RX580.

And which OS you are running (with build number).

For Nvidia card users, please also state if you need WhateverGreen.kext to make it work. Million thanks in advance.

[doublepost=1545549187][/doublepost]I have an MSI AirBoost Vega 64. This worked like a charm.

Sadly AppleALC and Lilu don't get my Sapphire 7950 working... also tried whatevergreen additionally, but no port (DP and HDMI) shows audio.

Just installed the 10.13 AppleHDA.kext and HDMIAudio.kext, works flawlessly.

Is there anything else I could try? Or is my card just not supported anymore?

Works with SIP reenabled on a flashed MSI Radeon HD 7950 3GB running macOS 10.14.2 (18C54).

Works with SIP reenabled on an Radeon RX 580 8192 MB Pulse running macOS 10.14.2 (18C54) Mojave.

Hi, Thanks for the very useful info.
It worked perfect for me. I'm using 2009 mac pro mojave with Sapphire R9 280x Graphics card. After the final step where I have to reboot, My mac froze on the boot. I reset the smc, pram, nvram and finally got onto the boot screen with audio enabled! Thanks!

Enabling trim will disable this fix. Enable trim before this fix or expect to fix it again.

You mean the "trimforce enable" in terminal? Or via 3rd party apps?

I never try this, but thanks for the info.

Yeah, "trimforce enable" in terminal will disable the fix. At least in macOS 10.14.2 (18C54) with both a flashed MSI radeon 7950 3gb and RX580 pulse 8gb.

 

[jordisala]

Followed the procedure stated on this post ( including the extra kext for NVIDIA ) on a Mac Pro 3.1 with GT710 and it worked. MacOS 10.14.2.

The only side effect is that all other audio out devices disappeared so there is no option to use the optical or analog out either the internal speaker.
