This is normal for Mojave, especially the newest builds. If you want working HDMI, downgrade to High Sierra.

Just posting this here as well since it is related: HDMI Alt mode over USB-C broken after sleep

And also a quick update on the audio issues I've been experiencing! You can fix the headphone output being distorted after sleep by using RehabMan's CodecCommander and adding a profile for ALC298 since one doesn't exist by default. A clean way to do this without editing the Info.plist file residing inside the kext is by including an add-on SSDT in your /ACPI/patched folder. I prefer to not do it this way and edited the kext instead, so keep that in mind should you decide to use the kext I upload here. If you want to update to a newer version of it any time in the future you will have to edit its Info.plist manually or it will not work. The changes I made are the following:

Code: 
<key>Codec Profile</key>
            <dict>
                <key>10ec_0298</key>
                <string>Realtek ALC298</string>
               
                (...)
               
                <key>Realtek ALC298</key>
                <dict>
                    <key>Custom Commands</key>
                    <array>
                        <dict>
                            <key>Command</key>
                            <data>AYcHIg==</data>
                            <key>Comment</key>
                            <string>0x18 SET_PIN_WIDGET_CONTROL 0x22</string>
                            <key>On Init</key>
                            <true/>
                            <key>On Sleep</key>
                            <false/>
                            <key>On Wake</key>
                            <true/>
                        </dict>
                        <dict>
                            <key>Command</key>
                            <data>AhcIgw==</data>
                            <key>Comment</key>
                            <string>0x21 SET_UNSOLICITED_ENABLE 0x83</string>
                            <key>On Init</key>
                            <true/>
                            <key>On Sleep</key>
                            <false/>
                            <key>On Wake</key>
                            <true/>
                        </dict>
                    </array>
                </dict>

These have been based on the SSDT patch provided here for ALC298 and daliansky's ALCPlugFix for XiaoMi Pro which, by the way, works on the Razer Blade 15 perfectly fine! If you decide to install it you will then be able to fix the headphone output cutting out issue that kicks in a couple of seconds after booting up by simply unplugging and replugging them back in. I do find it a bit messy thus not using it at the moment, but it does work.

Thank you for this! I'll give it a go with the kext you uploaded and let you know how it works out on my end. I was eventually going to look into this issue but my time has been limited because of my job. So thank you for getting to it before I did!

@vettz500 Please share original (pre-patched) DSDT.dsl and trackpad GPIO pin and trackpad model? Thanks. Still trying to make RBA 2019 trackpad working. Maybe this will help compare and find ideas.

Thanks!

Pre-Patched DSDT won't do anything to help you. The 2019 Model and the 2018 Advance model have already been confirmed to have 2 different trackpad hardware models. The 2019 trackpad doesn't work because the hardware itself is just not supported by the VoodooI2C kexts yet.

For anyone interested, I've added support for the 2018 blade on a project that allows you to change the lighting modes on your keyboard. If I get more time I might try and turn it into something much more user friendly but I also didn't make the tool - I just added the proper offsets for the 2018 model.

Awesome! Works great!
 
This is great post!! and all efforts you guys here are really appreciate!!

I just bought Basic model 13.3" Razer Blade the newest one (2019) It looks like this laptop has issue with Trackpad.

Any other functions will be ok with this guide? Well, I am still waiting for the laptop. So I will try to install Mojave. Hope It would be great customac laptop. Thank you guys!

Yeh. Two different trackpads.

Really hate to use mouse. And so happy with RBA2019.

Update:
After doing some digging into Codec Commander, I went and added the SSDT-ALC298a to my patched folder and it seems to have taken care of the issue. Once I do some more testing and confirm 100% I'll report back and update the guide.
Thank you for finding this. I had a feeling that Codec Commander would probably take care of the issue, but just didn't have the time to research into it enough.
