Hi Everyone! I'm a newbie to Hackintoshing and its very difficult to do for me but I really like that I'm learning a lot. I started on April 5 and I successfully dual booted macOS Catalina 10.15.4 and Windows 10 on my laptop (MSI GV62 7RD), I managed to get the Intel GPU, Battery, Brightness Controls, Brightness Keys and the Wi-Fi cause I can USB tether via a jailbroken iPhone(TetherMe) or any Android Phone via HoRNDIS. The issue I can't fix until now is my Audio, namely the Speakers, Microphone and Jack Ports, I've tried so many tutorials and guides from different forums. believe me and YouTube videos but none of them worked.

I've tried this last tutorial, before I posted this thread here. : (Removed Link as it is another website)

I've exactly followed the last tutorial above and my audio is now greyed out, in the first few guides I followed, only my Speakers are working, but not the JackPorts (earphones) and the built in mic never worked. I am also aware of the Supported AppleALC Codecs for mine: ALC898/ALC899 / 0x100003, layout 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 28, 65, 66, 98, 99, 101, I've tried all of the options for layout but all of them have the same results. :(

I could not attach files directly cause my files are too big, I placed them on Google Drive so you can have the important details needed. In the Google Drive folder link I attached my complete EFI Clover Folder without the themes and in the other zip file, I placed there my Clover Generated Audio / the kexts I used in L/E and S/L/E and a pic of my jack port.


Sorry for my bad english and long post, any help would be much appreciated :)

Do NOT mention about other sites. You already agreed to the rules.

You've duplicate kexts installed. Remove it from S/L/E.
Attach a new PR file.

I restored the native AppleHDA.kext and removed all of the .bak files from S/L/E.

Still kexts are present. Note that, you must remove all the kexts from your S/L/E. Following kexts must be removed.
  • FakePCIID.kext
  • AppleHDA.kext
  • ACPIDebug.kext
  • FakePCIID_Intel_HDMI_Audio.kext
  • AppleBacklightInjector.kext
  • AppleALC.kext
  • Lilu.kext

Once removed, empty your trash and restore the native Vanilla AppleHDA.kext

Updates:
1.) Removed ACPIDebug.kext, FakePCIID.kext, FakePCIID_Intel_HDMI_Audio.kext and modded AppleHDA.kext from S/L/E
2.) Native AppleHDA.kext is restored in S/L/E
3.) AppleBacklightInjector.kext is removed from L/E but transferred to EFI/CLOVER/kexts/others as it has no duplicates
4.) Removed AppleALC.kext and Lilu.kext from L/E as it is already present in EFI/CLOVER/kexts/others
