EFI/Clover is missing.

EFI/Clover is missing.
Shows 'clovernotinstalled'.

For some reason the script is not detecting my clover even if EFI is mounted. Here's my Clover.zip seperately.

For some reason the script is not detecting my clover even if EFI is mounted.

If your system partition is on a different device than the EFI you're booting from, it cannot detect EFI.

Here's my Clover.zip seperately.

None of them work. I tried them all.

I came back to layout ID 15 as before, so my problem reporting files remain the same.

I would also like to mention that the one time audio did work before was with id 15.

You need to at least attach PR files that show you're able to change the layout-id to something else.
Nothing attached.

Here you go. Here I've changed to layout-id 13.

I'm thinking of just switching to VoodooHDA even if it's unreliable. There seems to be no solution for AppleHDA no matter what I try. Is there a guide for that?

Did you try injecting PinConfigurations?
