Sounds good, KGP! Will wait for your updated guide. Thank you and enjoy your extended weekend.

I'm hoping someone can take a look at my ioreg and help me look at correctly implementing my hdau. If I'm looking at this correctly, the Nvidia graphics card in slot one is under PC02 -> BR2A -> GFX0 -> pci-bridge (10) -> gfx0. I also have another usb card that is under a pci-bridge

I assume this is why my hdau is not being properly implemented but I'm not sure how to fix this as this is all new to me so any help would be appreciated

What do you mean it's not working? 10de is nvidia and 10ef is the 1080 audio controller. This shows as the driver being loaded.

Lol the sage is a really nice board but the deluxe would've probably been better for me as this is my first hackintosh that wasn't just running multibeast. The Ioreg and ssdt stuff is way over my head and wasn't sure how to implement Nvidia graphics and hdau correctly since it looks like it's located at PC02.BR2A.GFX0.PCI-BRIDGE@10? unless the pci-bridge part doesn't matter then I must've messed something up.
Sorry, I'm just trying to understand all of this

After checking so many x299 boards, I can guarantee you that it doesn't matter which one yo use getting. They will all do just fine, and none of those SSDT serve any actual purpose, it's just cosmetic to have nice devices showing in the PCI list. Otherwise, it serves no purpose whatsoever.

As such, all you need is the original EFI folder, just so that the system boots. Everything else is optional.

I wish I had known that back when I started, I would have saved myself from hours of fiddling with SSDT and the like.
With those x299 boards everything work out of the box. And for things that don't, a SSDT isn't going to help.

This is with NvidiaGraphicsFixup installed but still don’t see an option for HDMI audio in my audio preferences. I removed it and now the driver isn’t loaded.
Guess it’s not a huge deal but I’ll mess with it later

I've tried to run the system without NvidiaGraphicsFixup but strangely I seem to always run into a kernel panic that reflects Some errors thrown up by the Graphic card in the crash report. Ive re installed the Kext to see if I see that crash report again.

anybody else experiencing such issues? Also the scale mode load right of the bat with the kext installed, but without it the display only scales post login.

I applied the same patch for a vega frontier.

thank you，my friend I’ll try

10GBE Card news for 10.13.4.....

This is rather unfortunate: In the beta and the expected release version of 10.13.4, Apple change the code to "verify" if a third party NIC was "real". If it wasn't, Apple would not load it, and effectively by doing so, disable it. Beta testers of 10.13.4, Hackintosh users, reported that their 10GBE cards stopped working in most of the betas of 10.13.4 (including the very latest beta, which I believe is 7).

However, a brilliant developer, Mieze, who works primarily on another forum, has come up with a fix....and here it is.....and two users have already tried it and it works! The first attachment is the patch and the second and third are users who have reported success using the patch.

If you need a designare efi folder let me know

Works perfectly fine here

Thanks, Still don't get past the slides message from AptioMemoryFix. Did you have to alter your ROM? Somewhere I got the idea that wasn't required for Gigabyte boards.
