Acer Aspire V15 Nitro Black Edition VN7-592G (High Sierra/Mojave/Catalina) (Dual boot Windows 10) – Success

Recommended Posts

AppleHDA_ALC255_v5.zip

 

Headphones and internal speakers works incredibly well and insanely loud with no distortions (love it!). Line in is detected but not working. Internal mic not detected.

Did you test this with an iPhone headset?

ComboJack should be working.

 

I double checked my headset with Windows and its working. I did a test by recording through adobe premiere as well as monitoring the signal bar in audio preferences.


I figured if internal mic is not working at least you can get the line in to work since you said there no node for microphone :)

Brightness slider works without kext and clover hot-patch


I didnt expect this at all! I was actually troubleshooting why the back light slider broke on Mojave beta and stumbled upon this finding!


So here you go! Native support for backlight slider without applebacklightinjector.kext and related kext to patch. However, keep the SSDT-PNLF.aml or you can also delete the ssdt and just check AddPNLF in Clover. Both method works :mrgreen:

Option1: First, need to know how your native brightness keys is handled. You can follow simple instruction here under "Brightness keys" https://www.tonycrapx86.com/threads/guide-patching-dsdt-ssdt-for-laptop-backlight-control.152659/ then patch DSDT according to your finding.


Option 2: Simply change the the brightness command keys from macOS Keyboard shortcut

Mojave Update


I wasn't planning to upgrade this laptop to Mojave. Well, not anytime soon anyway. But, installing Mojave on an external HD is close enough to see if anything will break due to the upgrade. Looks like its pretty much the same except for update of kext for I2c trackpad.


Beyond that, airdrop does not seem to work well. But, I did not spend too much time troubleshooting anyway.

This is a quick rundown of how I set up my laptop for Sierra, High Sierra and Mojave Beta 10. In no way, I am an expert in hackintosh but one thing I have learnt when hackintoshing is that reading (like a lot!), google (yes!) and plenty of patience are essential. Its a daunting task LOL

I noticed this laptop has problem with windows installation in "auto". That is, I faced problematic "unable to install ...." no matter what file system I created. Then I figured out a way to manually create GPT partition as described in the guide below.


How to Dual-boot (Bios is set to UEFI mode)


A.

1. Make UEFI Windows bootable disk using Rufus 2.7 or later(https://rufus.akeo.ie/)

2. Boot into laptop with USB stick

3. When at Choose Disk to install page, Press shift+F10 to enter command mode

4. type diskpart

5. type list disk

6. select disk x (x is primary hd or ssd)

7. type convert gpt

8. type create partition efi size=200

9. type format fs=fat32 quick

10. type create partition primary size=xxxxxx (in MB)

11. type format fs=ntfs quick

12. type exit

13. continue to install till end


B. Go to Windows Disk utility and create a partition (Fat 32 file system) for MacOS

C. Shutdown windows once partition is created

D. Boot Olarila USB stick to proceed with MacOS installation.

1. Extract the file here SSDT-ARPT.aml.zip

2. Open ssdt file with MacIASL

3. Change RP07 to RP0x (Use Ioreg to find out the location of your wifi card)

4. Save ssdt inside Clover/ACPI/Patched. Reboot. (if you are using sorted order, make sure to add the file to the table)
