Idk what am I doing wrong
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

ALC294 Messy Audio (Crackles, Boops & more) Comet Lake Hackintosh
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?

MacOS stuck on an apple logo with progress bar.
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

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!

How do i install alc-verb and use dump-coeff script?
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

Successful install! (Catalina 10.15.7)
I would at least look around to see if your card needs any specific support, or ask someone who has more knowledge on Kepler (600 Series) hackintoshes other than me, but according to Dortainia, you'll need Lilu.kext & WhateverGreen.kext as well as a shikigva=40 boot flag.

Display port not working (cMP 4.1-5.1 Big Sur OC)
Check out this page for your Lilu.kext and this page for your WhateverGreen.kext. When using WG, try using the boot arguments shikigva=40 which will set your boardID as an iMac14,2 which helps with some nVidia Support. If that doesn't help, maybe use agdpmod=vit9696 which skips the boardID check altogether which has been known to fix black screens. Installing WhateverGreen, in general, will most likely solve your issue though.
