Conexant CX20724 ISST Audio - AppleALC, , layout ID 13

My first ever Hackintosh!!!! (on Microsoft Surface laptop go)
Use linux to find out your audio codec (ALC...) and use this to narrow down the layout ids you could use. Try all of them and see which one works. Good luck!

Gigabyte Z790 / Intel i9 13900K / Radeon RX 550 / Ventura
Sound: I use an USB sound card so this is not a big deal for me but the onboard sound does not work. I tried AppleALC.kext together with any of the layout ids for the ALC897 from this list but nada. I also very rarely noticed some stuttering on the USB speakers. Not sure what this was about.

Finally in a good place and found something odd (just a couple more tweaks to go).
For audio you will need the REaltek audio kext. And use the appropriate layout id in boot arg for it to work with ALC1220. https://github.com/acidanthera/AppleALC/releases

OpenCore 0.8.2 released! 🎉🎉👏
There was a bug with the first release of AppleALC v1.7.3 today that caused a crash at boot. A corrected build of 1.7.3 was posted later today that fixed that and everything is now working fine for me.

Still noise headphone jack noise on the T450
I also edited the boot-args under NVRAM in the config.plist where I tested all of the id's (layout 12, 15, 18, 28, 32, 55, 59) as found in the supported codes table on github (https://github.com/acidanthera/AppleALC/wiki/Supported-codecs)

Is there a guide on how to compile AppleALC?
Not sure if This is what you're looking for, or not.. I was going to follow up on your other post today. I think the Dock I have is broken, I wasn't able to get any Audio working on it at all. Tried an X230T and a T530, no sound in the dock in any OS.

Big Sur on Acer Aspire A315-56-327T
I tried all of the layouts that are created for ALC255 and NONE of them worked properly (getting no sound from speakers and/or headphones, getting static noise from the headphones, or the sound not working properly after sleep, …) so I went on to create my own layout from scratch; got my codec-dump and its visual graph, noted audio nodes and possible node-mixer connections, compiled AppleALC after every change I made, and I did this process to get audio from any source for 9000 times. I can say that it wasn’t pleasant. At all. Even the layout I created specifically for this laptop still does not work properly, headset mic is still not working and I need ComboJack fix to get audio from headphones/headset after sleep. At least internal mics and headphones/headsets work now.

Headphones jack not working
I assume that your laptop has a combined jack, so you can try this. Or another one that I'm currently using is ALC Fix app, can't find its origin so I uploaded mine on Google Drive. Personally I prefer the second one because it just do its job in background, while the first one always ask you what did you plug in. Hope that will help you!
