I have Catalina Beta 3 working on my E6540 but I still have 2 main issues I need to fix and would appreciate some assistance please.

1- Only the mouse USB and a 2GB USB are working but not if I insert an Additional SSD USB or Internal 2nd SSD Drive
2- HDMI works but sound is not synced properly to the Samsung TV

Regarding the USB Do we need to find and replace any address in Kernel and Kext to Patch in the config as we did for 10.14.x?

If I try to install AppleAHCIPort.kext into S/L/E under 10.15.x it will create a Kernel Panic upon boot and I cannot fix it after that.!

I have attached my EFI perhaps it will assist others and someone could also assist with my question.

Thank you

3rd party kexts belong in /L/E
 
Thanks but even if I place AppleAHCIPort.kext in /L/E it still doesn't work.

Need to fix USB first for Catalina then I will look into the HDMI Sound Sync issue.

Sure, I have updated it and also I have attached the Clover dump files here as well as complete darwin dump files.

Thank you for trying but unfortunately it didn't actually make any difference, the 128GB External SSD USB as well as the Internal one were not recognized.

I hope the files I provided will help to get someone to help me to get fix the issues:
USB
Webcam
HDMI Audio Sync

I am also wondering if there is a possibility to use AMD Radeon HD 8790M + HDMI instead of Intel HD Graphics 4600 ?

Thanks

go to system info and then usb and show me a screen shot like is it seeing the usb controller at all?
like lets try to isolate if its an issue with the ssd or the usb controller.
If it is the ssd it may just be a different kext needed.
