No audio GIGABYTE GA-Z270-HD3P

[jtroump]

Hi everyone,
My desktop built is:
CPU: i5-7600
Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-Z270-HD3P
Graphics Card: GIGABYTE GEFORCE GTX 1050Ti
RAM: 2x8GB DDR4 - 2666 CRUCIAL BALISTIX SPORT
HDD: Samsung EVO 850 500GB

I have installed successfully High Sierra and made a build with Multi-Beast with the following configuration:
Quick Start > Clover UEFI Boot Mode
Drivers > Misc > FakeSMC
Bootloaders > Clover UEFI Boot Mode
Customize > System Definitions > iMac > iMac 14,2
IntelMausiEthernet2.3.kext
macOS 10.13.3 High Sierra (17D47)

As you can imagine, I have no audio. I have visited toleda's posts and I have to be honest with you: I can't get it... I can't follow...
Maybe because I am a newbie to hackintosh.

I have tried and tried many "solutions" for days now but all I get is my system freezing at the the end of loading (black screen with white logo and processing bar). So I get over the beginning again.

Can anyone help me or give me a step-by-step guide so I can finally get sound working?

Hi toleda,
I really appreciate your work and, honestly, I feel embarrassed that I couldn't follow.
I have a fresh installation with no audio kext installed.
So, what is the next, easiest step?
Thank you so much.

Hi toleda,
Realtek® ALC887 codec

I fill grateful for your help, toleda. I don't want to be a buzzy but just to mention that I installed the kext for this codec via Multibeast in one of my previous installations with no luck...

Thank you so much again.

Correct
2. Determine Series of your motherboard (only matters with 100, 200, 300 or X299 Series)?
