I am experiencing difficulties with my HD4600 graphics and audio. My MB is Z97-P and CPU is i5 4570.

@alehus1990,

HD4600 IGPU can be troublesome on some systems ...

Try installing Lilu + WhatEeverGreen .. see this guide for more info :-

An iDiot's Guide To Lilu and its Plug-ins

An iDiot's Guide To Lilu and its Plug-in's Last Update: 22nd Jan 2021 (Add note about OpenCore config.plist modifications) About this Guide Note: This guide was written when Clover was the boot loader of choice as such the config.plist examples in this guide are mostley Clover specific ... if...

www.tonymacx86.com

To begin with I would try it in Auto Detect/Auto Configure mode ..
If that does not work then try manually configuring the IGPU using Device Properties as detailed in the guide.

Make sure your using a the correct SMBIOS, iMac15,1 is recommended but iMac 14,X should also work too.

As detailed in the guide you should remove any existing IGPU settings/options in your Clover config.plist and let WhatEverGreen do all the work.

AppleALC (detailed in the same guide) should be able to resolve your audio issues ...

Cheers
Jay
