In my /Library/Extensions folder is a copy of "FakePCIID.kext," and also "Fake PCIID_Intel_HDMI_Audio.kext" which seem to be necessary for audio to be working on my Hackintosh. And audio works fine, but I do not understand the purposes of these kexts. I have read the text on GitHub at "https://bitbucket.org/RehabMan/os-x-fake-pci-id" but it is entirely Greek to me, and seems to apply only to Intel integrated graphics, which I am not using. However, without these two kexts, I have no audio. I do not use HDMI, but that seems to make no difference. My audio port is the rear-panel audio output of my Gigabyte Z370N-WIFI motherboard. I'm running Mac OS 10.13.6 High Sierra (Build 17G4015).
I get that I need these, but can anyone explain in plain English why they are needed?
Thanks for reading!
