So I tried several AppleALC kexts and none brought back the on board, built in Internal Speakers option. But yesterday I followed the procedure for updating to Catalina, downloaded the latest kexts for Lilu, WG, and Apple ALC in clover>kexts>other, and deleted the 3rd party kexts in Library>Extensions, and then updated to Catalina (which installed flawlessly considering I got interrupted during the install and came back an hour or so later and it was booted up and installed, luckily clover defaulted to the right partition to install after the restarts
). Now the option for the internal speakers is available and works, so does the DP audio, not sure if it was the latest kexts I added, removing the ones from library extensions, or upgrading the OS, or combination of those. Oh and I can still encode H.264 video!!! And for fun rx580 giving me a Metal Geekbench 5 score of 49K-50K!
Thanks again to
@Stork and
@pastrychef for all the help on this build over the past couple years! Aside from Donating to Tonymacx86, which I will be doing again soon! How can I repay you???
