I actually think I didn't have audio ("internal speakers") until I injected an id. Can't remember exactly how it went, since I was rather tired yesterday. I'll try the combo update again and get back to you. It will be a few days since I have to go away for an event.

@pastrychef
I managed to get it done, before I had to go. And it works! Automatically like announced. "Internal speakers" is back and audio stays after sleep.
So all I did to fix it, was as you said. I cleaned up /Library/Extensions folder and made sure my EFI folder was correct, and then I installed the combo update.
Apparently it makes a difference if your folders are incorrect at the time you install the update.
AWESOME. Thank you again for taking the time and going over steps with me.

Thank you for creating the other file I do have a request and that is that you possibly remake the fan curve. I feel like that when working I sit on the cusp of where the fan really starts to ramp up so it ramps up and then down and up and down. Like maybe 62 instead of 57 or make it ramp up a bit sooner like 52. Other than in the fans fluctuating in the middle of the curve the kext works great.

i see. So far I dont think anyone have ways to control the fan curve yet. The only way to control fan ramp up is the target temp which is the temp that gpu is trying to maintain. In your case I think set a higher target temp can solve the ramping problem.

but anyway, here are both kexts. You can try which works the best

how load this kext and how verify temp, fans and state of vega ? tkx

umm, you just put the kext file in your efi/clover/kexts/other just like every other kexts. and the way you test the temp is to just run bechmarks, and while you do benchmarks you can check your temp and fan speed by put in the below command in the terminal.

ioreg -l |grep \"PerformanceStatistics\" | cut -d '{' -f 2 | tr '|' ',' | tr -d '}' | tr ',' '\n'|grep 'Temp\|Fan'

with or whitout kext same values

"Fan Speed(%)"=14
"Fan Speed(RPM)"=706
"Temperature(C)"=35

geekbench 4

geekbench 4

the thing with geekbench 4 is it only short brust the gpu, so it doesnt load the gpu at all. You need either luxmark or unigene heaven to actually see the gpu temp go up.

this is max with luxmark
"Fan Speed(%)"=35
"Fan Speed(RPM)"=1753
"Temperature(C)"=71

on exit is this

"Fan Speed(%)"=41
"Fan Speed(RPM)"=2026
"Temperature(C)"=43

after 5 min

"Fan Speed(%)"=29
"Fan Speed(RPM)"=1435
"Temperature(C)"=32

after 10 min and rest here

"Fan Speed(%)"=16
"Fan Speed(RPM)"=802
"Temperature(C)"=32


strange...

umm i think that looks fine. Your card has very good cooling btw.

If you want to really heat up your video card, try running the Furmark test with the follow benchmark:

If your Vega video card uses a non-reference cooler, odds are the Vega fan control kexts are not going to work for you.
