Hello Reddit,
I'm a newcomer to the hackintosh community. Years afters my last Macbook passed away (from liquids spilled on it by my roommate), I've decided to try to install OSX on my desktop computer.
Everything went better than expected and I had a fully working system in a couple of hours, despite knowing nothing in hackintosh-related stuff. Everything but one thing : HDMI audio.
To be honest I didn't care that much because I don't really use HDMI audio, having a great set of headphones and a great wifi speaker. I didn't want to mess with my kext, audio being the last thing I've fixed.
But today I plugged into my GPU a second monitor for the first time, with a DVI -> HDMI cable. And surprise! the monitor appeared on my output sound devices. Good news, I thought. Until I rebooted.
I still have my second monitor (and one time I had my first one aswell for reasons I still don't get) in the output devices but no more headphones and I don't get it. It seems that plugging my monitor messed with my kext, that's the only logical explanation I came up with.
I've tried to go from scratch, deleting my two kext (AppleALC and AppleHDA, patched), putting them back, keeping only one of them... but my competences are not good enough to really understand what I'm doing.
It's not a big issue, I still have the possibility to plug my headphones into my monitor, but this is bothering. I also have the possibility to use my Time Machine in order to restore a previous version in which my headphones were working, but I prefer to understand how to fix problems like this.
Thanks a lot if you can help me (and sorry for the unnecessary lenght of the post and the eventual mistakes, english is not my primary language)
