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.

Success - Acer C720-3404 with Core i3 (OpenCore Mojave and Big Sur).
I was happy to see the battery didn't have larger than 8-bit registers, so no battery ACPI patching required, yay. You just need to install SMCBatteryManager.kext

Weird GPU problem in hackintosh. (Nvidia 9600 GSO 512)
VirtualSMC + SMCProcessor + SMCSuperIO(? may not be necessary, but shouldn't cause any harm)

Need some help with battery patching...
