Greetings Earthlings

Very new to the Hackintosh community but through all the detailed and thorough documentation on these forums, I have been able to setup Monterey on an Intel H510 chipset (MSI H510m A Pro) running a i3 10100 and an R9 270 GPU (needed spoofing) without much issue.
HDMI audio output works fine and front panel audio output (to an AV receiver) works fine too, though I had to mess around with NVRAM bootargs to get the ALC897 output working (needed layout id 11)

What I don't quite understand is how the front panel audio outputs to headphones and av receiver work fine, but the rear audio panel does not. And yes, I am using the correct output port on the rear panel. Is this purely a peculiarity of Earth engineering, or have I made a Gromflomian-level error?

Yours truly,
King Flippynips

P.S. Pluto is indeed a planet. Do not trust science or Neil deGrasse Tyson.

Edit: Solved this issue by setting boot-args alcid=12. guess you just have to run through the gauntlet of possible layout ID's until you find one that fully works, not just half works.:thumbup:
