Now I can use my wired iPad Pro 10.5" as a second monitor using Duet But god knows why it thinks its 47.5"!!!!

I think Ive found the reason why some people dont have audio. I switch on my IGPU as I was trying to set it up in headless mode and noticed I lost my audio. Switched of my IGPU and it came back.

Reasons why and how to fix is beyond me at the moment.
 
Quick update: I have everything working now (I think)... Except for audio!

I used your latest EFI, as I didn't have any port limit patches in my config.plist to disable... I probably did something wrong at some point! Once your EFI was in, I can see your port limit patches and they're disabled. So all the USB ports are working now - aside from the USB type C, and the port directly above it, which is expected with your SSDT. I think in future I'd like to get those two working, and can presumably swap out something else like the RGBs, as you've mentioned before.

I got the graphics glitches again, so I did what I did before and changed the SMBIOS back to iMac(14,2) using MultiBeast, and that fixed it. I used Intel Power Gadget to verify hardware acceleration was working, using this post, and everything looked fine (on my i7-8700, HD630).

Interesting point about audio not working with the integrated graphics enabled. I have the common issue of no audio devices detected at all, but my two folders (EFI/Clover/kexts/Other and System/Library/Extensions) look identical to yours, aside from missing a couple of unrelated kexts you have.

I've read a few posts about the audio, such as this, but don't really understand what I'm doing with it. Also I note that's for AppleHDA, and I have AppleALC.kext . . . I don't understand the difference!
 
Am I looking at something like this for a compatible BT/Wifi adapter that works with all the functions of macOS, like Hand Off and Air Drop and stuff? I Google'd your chip and that came up on eBay.

I appear to have Bluetooth, but I've read somewhere on here (can't recall which thread) that someone had to boot into Ubuntu or something, to initialise the Bluetooth card, as the address was showing as 00:00:00:00:00 - it's doing that for me. But I'd rather just get a replacement card that works perfectly with everything!
 
Thats great news. More good news is that I'd lost my audio too while messing about with the iGPU. Even after a time machine restore.

I used this guide found here. Go to the Audio section. Take your time reading it. I must of read it several times myself. At the end of thread it will show the issues Ive had (page 17-ish). if you have/don't AppleALC.kext or Lilu.kext install/upgrade them into Library/Extensions using KextBeast.

AppleALC V.1.3.4
Lilu V1.3.1

My audio config as the recommended method 2.

Audio should work (hopefully).

I followed that guide to enable a headless IGPU and now I have HW acceleration for whatever real Macs do with it.

USB type c is up to you but I still got 2 other gen 2 ports which is at 10gbps. I really don't know what hardware would utilise it. Remember we have a spare NVME port for extra storage anyway!!!

As for my wifi&bluetooth it just worked after I did what I mentioned earlier in this thread.

If your going to stick with IGPU, I would follow the rest of that guide and use whatevergreen.
 

Thanks for that - I think I presumed there'd be a #1 go-to WiFi/Bluetooth card that everyone uses and works OOB.

As for my wifi&bluetooth it just worked after I did what I mentioned earlier in this thread.

Are you saying that you're using the card that came with the motherboard? For some reason I had it in my head that this model only half works with macOS... Am I wrong? I'll check the chip number on it later, don't think I ever tried the Broadcom kexts for it.

Thanks for the info on audio - I'll have a good read of that thread tonight. Excited that you've got it working with the IGPU! I definitely have AppleALC.kext and Lilu.kext, but I've read somewhere else about them perhaps not being the latest versions.

Yeah, with the USB type C, I guess I'd just like to have a completely working system. My phone is USB C but I have a handful of A -> C cables so it wouldn't matter anyway. Think it's still USB 2.0 speeds as well. I'll maybe get around to making my own SSDT at some point.

Cheers!
 
I replaced the card that came with the MB with "Broadcom BCM94352Z". To get wifi and bluetooth working, see my networking section.

Hopefully I've I given enough information to get the audio working without too much of a headache but if you do get stuck then I should be able to help.

I might enable my usb c at some point if I ever have some hardware that requires it but I doubt it as its a desktop and I've only seen one usb 3.1 gen 2 hub on the market so far and that's type A anyway.

Also using that FB-patcher, you can create your own usb.kext which means the custom usb.aml and usbinjectall.kext can be removed.
 
Sorry, I must've misread that section - I've seen a couple of those on eBay so I'll grab one.

I have some very good news to report... I've got audio working! I read through that guide a couple of times, and basically did what it said:

- Updated Lilu and AppleALC kexts with KextBeast (I noticed these wouldn't overwrite - I had to remove the kexts from L/E before using KextBeast).
- Used Hackintool with layout ID 7 to generate the patch code
- Used Clover (discovered I was using version 4 of Clover - not sure how - so I downloaded the latest version, 5.3.2.0) to add the patch code to the config.plist - using cryptii to convert the base64 to hex.
- I didn't change anything else in Clover because it all looked okay...
- Rebooted, voila - audio! Internal speakers is mapped to the green 3.5mm jack, the two line out outputs are mapped to the black & orange 3.5mm jacks, and the digital output works with the optical output. Not tried any surround settings yet.

I'm now making copies of all the files and apps I've used in case I need to start from scratch - I kept a log of everything I did on the Hackintosh so I'll consider creating a thread like you have here, since I've gone the IGPU route from the start. Might help someone!

I'll give FB-patcher a try in making a usb.kext then!

Thanks for all your help - you've done all the hard work here, I've just reaped the benefits. Appreciate it!!
 
Thats great news and your very welcome. Ive not done much to my system, managed to get my IGPU working in headless mode so I have quick sync enabled.

I've brought a powered USB Hub (3.0) with some high powered current outputs which works rather well. Will probably post my findings at some point on a separate thread.

A build thread with your setup would be brilliant.
