Dell 3442 Audio and WiFi

[shoumma]

Hi,
I have successfully installed Yosemite on my Dell 3442 laptop (using Clover). Get all the stuffs working (brightness - with slider, graphics, FN keys). But I still not able to find kexts for Audio and WiFi.

I'm using the Voodoo audio, but the problem is, since I have only one headphone port (headphone + mouthpiece combo), the headphone only works. Also every time I input my headphone, I have to select it manually from audio output settings. Is there anything I can do to make this work?

As for the WiFi, I have "Qualcomm Atheros QCA9565 / AR9565 Wireless Network Adapter" (LSPCI). I know there is no support for this card. I'm willing to buy wireless cards and need some model numbers. Please let me know which wireless cards I can buy. Also is it possible to plug in a USB WiFi card to get wifi support?

There is another issue which is with my Card Reader. But I'm not actually concerned with it.

Here is full LSPCI report of my laptop:
