@Khaliq Thanks for your answer!
I already contacted the manufacturer and he's really confident about the fact that his product doesn't need any driver on Big Sur and he will send me an other card for free. That's why I was more suspicious about my hackintosh install than the product it self. Will see if with a brand new one it will works. (it's a chinese "Choetech HUB-U02BK")
I've checked the battery information in my Bios, it says that its health is "Good". So I don't really understand this alert in my battery status in macOS?
 
Updated to newest version. Getting the following error now on boot.
Any ideas??
Thanks!

Disclaimer: I am no expert, but I have had some prior experience with this machine. If you edit your UEFI and screw up, I'm not responsible.
I've messed up a couple of times overclocking my RAM and there is a way to revert UEFI edits (if they haven't destroyed any hardware).

1. Turn computer off, disconnect cables.
2. Open up back lid.
3. Leave battery connector in!
4. Short/connect CLRP 1 pads located to the right of the chipset. Pretty small pads but i used the long screws for the "service tag" lid and insulated myself with a screwdriver. I held for 20 seconds. Avoid touching anything but the pads.

Actually not sure what it does, but it looks like a CMOS reset with the benefit of not having to disasemble the computer.
 
Hi Everyone,

Everything seems to working fine on XPS 9560(i7) except the audio is too low when I plug in the headphone jack. I have tried installing the VoodooHDA.kext but that didn't help. Can someone please provide instructions on how to fix this. I tried running the ComboJack Installer but it messed up my wifi and I had to reset everything. This is my first hackintosh so its possible I am missing something obvious.

Thanks and Cheers
 
means you need to add/remove/amend the entries in your config.plist, check the sample.plist from opencore download

See post1:

here's from the changelog:
For whatever reason I have to do a bios reset every time I update the EFI for it to work properly :(
Also, I have newest version but it still says it's OC 0.6.5? You sure you uploaded the right/newest one?

Changelog for v0.5
  • After replacing EFI, on next reboot go directly into BIOS and set boot path to OpenCore.efi
  • Updated OpenCore files to 0.6.7 including drivers and kexts
    • Bootstrap removed as of 0.6.6
    • Launcher option not necessary
  • Reconfigured OpenCanopy due to config changes, using modern attributes
  • Added IOKitPersonaly to USB Ports for 14,3 since some of you think it's a better SMBIOS for some reason. It's really not but to save the repeated questions about why certain USB devices don't work like webcam, I added it.
  • Combo Jack install.sh fixed by adding trailing backslashes to not overwrite bin folder as per @Khaliq
  • config changes made for both 0.6.6 and 0.6.7

The EFI you uploaded is 0.6.5 not 0.6.7 fyi.
 
Guys, any chance to have Thunderbolt networking?

On Macbook it's called Thunderbolt Bridge, and allow transfer up to 10-40 GBs

I have connected XPS (Windows) and Macbook and it works.
On my XPS with Hackintosh, all functions of Thunderbolt seem works, but only Network not.
 
Since the version 0.6.5 I have this weird problem were MacOS won't shutdown.
Haven't found a fix. @blazinsmokey or @Lopburi do you have some kind of idea?

Sorry for the picture... Only log messages which I get at shutdown are these:
The only thing which seams weird to me is the "Unmount of /System/Volumes/Data/home failed"

)
If I plug/unplug an usb I get these messages:
