I don't know how to make DSDT for my system...
You are using the same machine with me excepting Graphic.

So is it ok using your EFI file? And I can edit some config setting for my Graphic.

Or should I make a new one for my system for audio fully working?

Joe.

The sound problem is ok now. For my case, i add Nvdia HDMI to dsdt and use iasl to get rid of error of ssdt. Then Inject 9. No patch to appleHDA or resetHDA is needed. I see you in insanelymac, so you can add the AppleAlc.kext they provide and Inject the proper number. I tested those appleALC and good. I don't know about AMD card.

Hi is USB C running on your system? How about iMessage?

Sorry i don't have USB-C device. iMessage is fine with me, and FaceTime and hand-off. You can refer to iMessage article on Tonymacx86. Please Search and follow.

Yup!!

Thanks It works great!!

Now I just gotta get a bluetooth wireless card...

All is working, i think i still have those ghost images in the BIOS, I'm gonna play around some more.

After all these steps, if you still don't get sound work, Please re-Install the 10.11.5 using unibeast in order to get a clean enviroment. I've tested these steps for a few people, it should work.

KenCar you are the best man, I just got the this all setup. I struggled, knowing absolutely nothing about DSDT, or Kext or any of the configs. I used multibeast and ran through the tutorial, everything worked except of course the Samsung 950 PRO, RAM wasn't showing correctly and audio didn't work. After fooling around with things all night and getting them all to work one by one, the audio was left. Yes, I did tons of googling, what a struggle. I have no idea what I did though, I gave up knowing I had to go to work in the next 30 minutes. Feeling like a zombie, I loaded into the clover boot options and wiped both configs, not sure why I had two. I copied your files to mine, added the NVME kext ones plus the audio. Re-ran multi-beast with the following settings:

I think this is what I did, not 100% sure. Also, I see Voodoo drivers, if you notice, I didn't pick any audio drivers, and I manually removed all the old audio Kext files before i did the above.

I rebooted, gave up, about to walk out to go to work and when it rebooted all was working, Audio started jamming, I could see my full 32GB ram, USB3 was working, could see my Samsung 950 PRO. If there is any way you guys could walk me through getting you my config or whatever you need, I'll be glad to help. Sorry, was so tired i lost track of what i did, but I'm the most tired/happy person right now!

I just re-installed, all is working, something not as detailed from the tutorial is Clover Configurator. You should download it, mount the EFI partition, open it, copy KenCar's files in, add in the audio ones from the link he gave, all is working now on a clean install. OMG what a relief...

I havent gotten my wireless card yet, so i can't test iMessage. I don't have anything that uses USB C, if i have anyone come over I'll ask them to test it out.

Congratulations!

I currently don't have a USB C type device, so I don't know if it works. I probably guess not cause I didn't see others get it worked. As far as iMessage, I am very confident it could works out cause I struggled a lot on this and finally get Hand-Off enabled which means a lot to me cause I have many Apple device to work with. You can find fix iMessage just on this website, it's a huge tutorial but also some youtube video instruction.

The wifi card and bluetooth I am using currently is the original one from Apple, I don't do anything and it works perfect. I don't use windows so I don't care if this card has driver on windows. If you are using wifi card from other manufacture, you should find some tutorial. Rehabman has his kexts and patches, I've seen some tutorial on Insanelymac.

Installing this system cost me a whole month and many sleepless night. Using clover means you need be aware of those options and setup, you can find it on wiki of clover efi. I don't use Multibeast at all cause it's just for starter who only require basic functions. Post installation is always a hard job and the fun is among it.

By the way, if you have a better method on cpu management or the SSDT editing, Please let me know.

KenCar, you did all the leg work for me. I owe you a beer if your ever in NYC. I'm doing the same, getting the Apple Broadcom BT/Wifi Chip and installing via PCI adapter. I rely heavily on iMessage as well, hopefully this will work OOB. Yes, I'm getting to know Clover a lot better now.

I've overclocked my CPU to 4.4Ghz, RAM I changed the modifier and got it operating at 3000hz. The CPU doesn't change in "About this MAC", as it only displays the stock CPU frequency based off what I was reading online. The RAM did change though once I made the changes in the BIOs. Also, all 4 of my cores are just sitting at 0, I haven't really been able to strain them to go up. Not sure if that is normal or if its broken.

I haven't really gotten to bench mark yet putting strains on it to see performance. I just installed my Creative Cloud PS, AI, and ID programs. I'm thinking about purchasing this MOD:

Do you have any other recommendations to monitor CPU usage, temps, disks, etc?

No, I don't think it would do the job. You can use hwmonitor along with fakesmc that you can find https://bitbucket.org/RehabMan/os-x-fakesmc-kozlek, it can monitor the GPU as well. BTW, I was once there around penn station. Good luck mate.

Hey KenCar, I just got this in, same as you BCM94360CD. For some reason it's showing the wrong BroadCom, wireless is detected but doesn't turn on, blue tooth shows no information:



Did you do anything special to get this to work? I've been reading on the forums and people say this should work natively, but not sure why it's not working for me.

I don't think you have plugged in the usb2.0 wire for the bluetooth, or the power supply for the bluetooth. It requires a 4 pin power additionally, at least in my case
