v2: 8/15/2014 - Initial Release
OS X HDMI audio for HD4600 systems with either: 1. HDMI audio
edited dsdt or 2. HDMI audio ssdt. Both techniques enable native
Haswell CPU and GPU power management. HD4600 HDMI audio is
not native; edits to AppleHDA.kext and
AppleIntelFramebufferAzul.kext edit are always required. Credit:
PikeRAlpha for both fixes.

Troubleshooting
1. Verify HDMI device connected
a. System Information/Graphics/Display/HDMI device/
Television/Yes
2. Run IOReg/IOJones/Verify Devices HDEF, IGPU (native/GFX0)
and HDAU
a. Ex. IOReg/Search: HDEF
b. Select HDEF
c. Cancel Search (x)
d. Scroll up to view HDEF device and properties
3. IOReg/IOJones/Verify HDEF@1B
a. If Credits, delete S/L/E/HDAEnabler1.kext or
HDAEnabler2.kext
b. Verify layout-id is 1, 2 or 3
c.

4. IOReg/IOJones/Verify HDAU@3
a. If no HDAU@3, see HD4600 HDMI Audio kext edits/
AppleHDA.kext
b. if no HDAU@3, verify dsdt/ssdt HD4600 HDMI audio edits
c. If no hda-gfx, verify dsdt/ssdt HD4600 HDMI audio edits
d.

5. IOReg/IOJones/Verify IGPU@2 (or GFX0@2)

a. If no IGPU@2 verify dsdt/ssdt HD4600 HDMI audio edits
b. if no AppleIntelAzulController, verify dsdt/ssdt HD4600
HDMI audio edits
c. Verify AAPL,ig-platform-id=<03 00 22 0d>
d.

6. Verify AppleIntelFramebuffer@[0, 1 or 2] with display0 attached

a. HDMI: connector-type=<00 08 00 00>
b. DVI: connector-type=<00 08 00 00>
c. DP: connector-type=<00 04 00 00>
