But this is what I am going to do. 1. remove nvidia webdrivers 2. update clover to latest 3. install combo update https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1910?locale=en_US 4. install newest webdrivers https://images.nvidia.com/mac/pkg/367/WebDriver-367.15.10.45f01.pkg 5. keep fingers crossed Edited March 29, 2017 by gridrunner Quote Link to comment

(it downloaded in about 2-3 minutes for me.) Edited March 29, 2017 by 1812 Quote Link to comment
DoeBoye Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 (edited) Has how-to-update-Clover been discussed already in this thread? I haven't been following too closely since I finalized my Sierra build, but I remember having some problems in the past trying to get Clover updated. If I remember correctly, I would do the automatic update, it would appear to have been updated, but the change would never stick. Any chance there's a tutorial (or a gridrunner video ) floating around? Edited March 30, 2017 by DoeBoye Quote Link to comment

Any chance there's a tutorial (or a gridrunner video ) floating around? For me, the updater only places the new files on the mac partition, not the EFI (even when loaded, the installer never gives me the option of selecting the mounted EFI disk.) So if you don't move the files manually to it, then it doesn't stick because it doesn't actually update. And when I do move them manually, it craps out after the boot options screen. I think a @gridrunner video about this would be most excellent. My guess is that it has something to do with needing a patched version of clover, as all the other ones used to run the vm are patched. And I don't know what occurs in the patch, so maybe that info could also be included. Quote Link to comment

Can you check the output from all ports hdmi/dp/dvi etc? It depends upon your card's ROM. My ASUS 750ti OC 2gb had to be flashed with the ASUS Strix BIOS before I could get HDMI out working on bare metal before I started using unRaid. The card only has 1 HDMI and two DVI + VGA so had no choice... Little did I know that it would output Audio via a DVI-to-HDMI dongle (thanks Gridrunner!) Mine could easily handle the higher clocks. I also modded the Strix BIOS to even higher clocks with the Kepler BIOS Tweaker for more performance in OSX as well as Windows:- http://www.overclockers.com/forums/showthread.php/746630-Flashing-and-overclocking-an-ASUS-GTX-750Ti-WIP You can also load a different card's ROM via the method posted elsewhere in the lime tech forums. I didn't try for Audio, in the end found a simpler solution (soundflowerbed), but did check it works with my GTX1070 & Windows VM (I used a different ROM to up the power limit of my KFA/Founders Edition card to get higher boost clocks in Windows since my card is water cooled with Arctic Accelero Hybrid III-140 ).

Thingi Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 (edited) DVI to HDMI dongle no longer required for Audio issues anymore. Since part of the Video install guide uses soundflower only one more piece of software is required:- https://github.com/mLupine/SoundflowerBed/releases/tag/2.0.0-release Simply install and select sound output in Sound Preferences Soundflower (2ch). Then use SoundflowerBed to change to the correct HDMI channel, Voila sound working perfectly with no dongle and you get a proper HDMI Volume control as an added bonus Scratch this tip The audio weirdness came back. Soundflowerbed didn't fix the problem after all... What did fix the problem until a reboot was unplugging the hdmi cable from the DVI adaptor back into the hdmi port. Strange indeed.

hernandito Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 @gridrunner Many thanks for all your great videos. I have watched them several times. I am having an installation problem that is a show-stopper. I do NOT have access to a real Mac, so I had to resort to the USB install method. I boot the installer and I go through the installation process. When it gets close to the end of installing, at the last 6 seconds, the VM reboots itself. It goes to the Clover screen and ONLY the "Install Mac OS" option is available. I have tried rebooting, shutting down the VM and nothing works. If I recall, at the end of the install proces, it gives you a message that the system will restart in XX seconds. This never happens at the end of my install process. I have even tried doing this with the GPU pass through with the same result. The pass through is working because when booting the "Installer" I get the max resolution of my monitor. I have the $90 dual Xeon processor server w/ 64GB RAM. I have tried this many times and no luck. Any ideas please? Many thanks. H.

Also did you ever try some different vbioses passed through to see if you can change the default sound out port? Nice looking build by the way!

hernandito Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 I received my USB Audio adapter (Mac compatible) and the USB 3 Adapter card (Link to USB Adapter Card). With the card UNINSTALLED, I get the following options for items to pass through: ATEN International Co. CS682 2-Port USB 2.0 DVI KVM Switch (0557:2213) ATEN International Co. Winbond Hermon (0557:2221) Cyber Power CP1500 AVR UPS (0764:0501) When I install the card, I get the same list above!! If I plug in a thumb drive into the new card, I get the card showing up in unRAID's Main page in Unassigned Devices. If I plug the USB Audio Adapter (USB Audio Adapter link), then the following new device shows up in the VM setup page: C-Media Electronics (0d8c:0014) I tried passing through the device in red above, and in OSX I will not see a thumb drive nor the USB Audio when plugged to the new card. I tried passing the USB Audio (without the one in red above). But when I try to Start the VM, I get the below error: Internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor: 2017-04-12T11:09:56.211283Z qemu-system-x86_64: -device usb-kbd: tried to attach usb device QEMU USB Keyboard to a bus with no free ports! Not valid! This link has the XML that causes this error: Pastebin Link I have an older 30" DUal DVI Link monitor (it needs this to get the high resolution). It does not have built in speakers. Any idea how I can get audio on my VM? I have external powered speakers. Many thanks! H. Quote Link to comment
