AppleALC VS Legacy-Kexts

Conexant CX20724 ISST Audio - AppleALC, , layout ID 13

https://github.com/acidanthera/AppleALC/wiki/Supported-codecs set alcid accordingly

I don't. Have you looked at the AppleALC wiki to see which IDs that might need? https://github.com/acidanthera/AppleALC/wiki/Supported-codecs

I have a Comet Lake laptop (i7-10510U & UHD 620) with the ALC294 Audio Card. I've tried all of the layout ID's listed on https://github.com/acidanthera/AppleALC/wiki/Supported-codecs. But all of them sound the same. I'm also using macOS Monterey... Any fix?

Do not enter the digits of your audio codec as your alcid. For example: "alcid=298" (ALC298). Use appropriate alcids from the AppleALC wiki: https://github.com/acidanthera/AppleALC/wiki/Supported-codecs

CPU: Intel Core i5-10500H (Comet Lake) [CPU slightly undervolted within BIOS] GPU: Intel UHD 630 (+ NVIDIA GeForce 1650 with Max-Q Design that's disabled via ACPI and boot-args) RAM: 12 GB Motherboard/Laptop Make and Model: MSI GF63 Thin 10SXCR Audio Codec: ALC223 Ethernet Card: RTL8111HS-CG Wifi/BT Card: Intel 802.11ax Wi-Fi 6 + Bluetooth v5.1 Touchpad and touch display devices: HID-Compliant Touchpad (Used VoodooI2C for touchpad) BIOS revision: -

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!

So..i have a Lenovo Legion 7i Laptop with Realtek ALC287 audio codec, i've used layout-id 11 and 21, (21 seems to be better, since an internal and external mic device seems to be appearing on the System Preferences) however, although slider, volume, works...i still got no audio (both input and output), been surfing around and got to this link : https://github.com/acidanthera/AppleALC/wiki/Dumping-processing-coefficients

Try adding SATA-unsupported https://github.com/khronokernel/Legacy-Kexts/blob/master/Injectors/Zip/SATA-unsupported.kext.zip

I would guess SATAUnsupported.kext, but you should check here and make sure you've disabled anything unsupported, such as IRRT, hardware, etc. Again, I have no idea what your hardware and OC configs look like. Maybe start fresh, and open a new thread? You mentioned using the same files for your Clover and OC configs, and can personally tell you this rarely works right.

SATA-unsupported

For Catalina, You should use this kext instead SATA-Unsupported(opens new window)

Thanks for the tip, I tried installing SATA-unsupported.kext and AHCIPortInjector.kext

ATAPortInjector

I took a look at your EFI, and I don't see any obvious errors in the config.plist. Concerning the ACPI, I don't think a valid EC is required in macOS prior to Catalina 10.15; thus, SSDT-EC is unnecessary. Concerning the Drivers, I don't think Ps2KeyboardDxe is required. Also, why use VBoxHfs-32 instead of HfsPlus32? I am curious as to where you got most of your kexts; USBInjectAll only works on El Capitan 10.11 and above, and I don't think IOATAFamily nor SATA-unsupported are required for your laptop; does your laptop even support AHCI or SATA?. AHCIPortInjector and VoodooHDA, I'm not sure about (for the latter, I think you should be using VoodooHDA-FAT). The others look fine, though.
