I found two solutions. The first is a kext named "BlueToolFixup.kext" (https://github.com/acidanthera/BrcmPatchRAM) to make the UB400 work on higher versions. The second solution is a program that makes wireless USB adapters functional even though no drivers were available from the manufacturer (https://github.com/chris1111/Wireless-USB-OC-Big-Sur-Adapter/releases/tag/V16).

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
1 project | /r/hackintosh | 1 May 2023

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

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
