That is pretty cool, does it require desoldering of the SD controller Chip?

Yep, here it is. Sometimes, I will get intermittent audio that cuts out during playback. As said, I removed the kexts from kexts/Other/ directory so you won't find any there. If you have a possible lead on why my HDMI audio keeps getting borked, that'd be great.

Also, here's the list of kexts that were installed into Library/Extensions:

FakePCIID & FakePCIID_Intel_HDMI_Audio

To fix hdmi sound issue you should get rid of FakePCIID & FakePCIID_Intel_HDMI_Audio kexts and inject graphics and hdmi audio using Hackintool https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-intel-framebuffer-patching-using-whatevergreen.256490/

Could you provide a link ? I might be able to buy it via chinahao / other proxy service.

Yes,Of course. This won't be a problem if you are familiar with welding。

I don't know about that, desoldering done incorrectly can wipe out the whole motherboard. Same with soldering on the new part. I'm handy and have good soldering technique but I think this is beyond what I would take on even though it would be nice to addition.
 
Hey Guys so after some experiments I managed to make it all work.
Dual Boot (Windows 10 & Mojave 10.14.6)

I have the NUC8i5BEH
CPU: Intel i5-8259U
RAM: Crucial CT16G4SFD832A 16 GB DDR4, 3200 MHZ, PC4-25600, CL22, Dual Rank x8, SODIMM, 260-Pin
they work at 2400 MHZ as that is the maximum supported by the NUC.
GPU: Intel Iris Plus Graphics 655 1536 MB
Storage: - NVme Adata XPG SX8200 PRO 256 GB (Windows 10)
- LITEONIT SSD SATA 256GB (Mojave 10.14.6)

Has been installed with Bios version 73 (latest)
Clover version 5045


Working Tested:

- Wifi Asus USB-AC68
- Built-in Bluetooth is working
- M.2 2280 for SSD
- SATA for SSD
- DP/HDMI (video/audio)
- UEFI booting via Clover
- 4x USB3 ports (2x back, 2x front)
- native USB3.1/USB3/USB2
- Ethernet (works with IntelMausiEthernet.kext)
- Analog native Audio working (IN/OUT)
- Built-in Microphone is working
- USB-Type C working
- Mac App Store is working
- Restart & Shutdown is working
- Thunderbolt 3 (BIOS TB Legacy Mode)

Not Working:
- on-board Wifi

Bios Settings all i did is enable Legacy Boot the rest you can leave it on Default.

Bellow you have the EFI just replace your EFI folder on your EFI partition and boot.

Hope it helps,

For it to work Enable Thunderbolt Legacy setting in bios. Hot plugging doesn’t work but compatible devices will show if they are connected at boot up.

FYI, your EFI/Clover/Drivers folder is well populated ( meaning you have more than needed) Otherwise it's very similar to what I posted
