It is a problem in the XML (Platforms/layout) for your audio codec.
Let me know if you find better files.

update: nvram.plist file shows in EFI volume for no reason
is this normal ?

Yes. It is because you're using EmuVariableUefi-64.efi and "RC scripts" (NVRAM is stored to disk).

At the moment of writing Mac OS Sierra is public beta stage and does not support Sky Lake yet, so I had to go on with El Captain (10.11).

Hardware
- CPU Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6200U CPU @ 2.30GHz
- GPU build-in Intel HD Graphics 520. It works with huge amount of artifacts in 10.11.1, almost unusable. In 10.11.5 it with no artifacts at all. Like a charm. HDMI video also works out of the box, I attached a Full HD (1920x1080) and both monitors works just fine. GPU consumes 1.5Gb of memory, I found no way to reduce this amount so far. Later I attached one more monitor using VGA slot, all the three monitors are working fine.
- RAM 4Gb DDR4 was replaced with 2x8Gb DDR4 Kingston ValueRAM KVR21S15D8/8 2133 MHz, 17000 Mb/s. By default Mac OS X see only 8Gb (2x4Gb). However there is a way to use all the 16Gb (see here for solution http://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/10-11-4-skylake-starter-guide.193628/).
- Hard drive. For testing purposes I used 500Gb HDD which comes with laptop and works out of the box.
- Ethernet. RealtekRTL8111.kext http://www.tonymacx86.com/resources/realtekrtl8111.302/
- WiFi Intel 3165 - known to be unsupported. Replaced with Dell DW1560 (chipset Broadcom BCM94352Z). Everything except AirDrop seems to be working. Notes about AirDrop published in a separate thread: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/airdrop.203219/
- Keyboard and touchpad requires additional driver (see below)
- WebCamera [04f2:b51d] Chicony works (detected as a USB device)
- Fingerprint Reader. [138a:003f] Validity Sensors, Inc. VFS495 - I have no clue how to make it work
- Card Reader Realtek RTS522A - no ideas
- Audio [8086:9d70] Intel Sunrise Point-LP HD Audio, Codecs: Conexant CX20724, Intel Skylake HDMI. Both are working, the only problem is that headphones are not detected.
- Bluetooth [8087:0a2a] works (detected as a USB device)
- VT-x works (Note: need to disable 3d acceleration in vmware fusion to avoid crashes)

Install instructions:
1) use UniBeast to make a bootable USB with El Captain + Clover
2) use custom config.plist and SSDTs (see here for details http://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/g...book-using-clover-uefi-hotpatch-10-11.189416/)
3) During boot there was a USB issue (fixed by IOAPIC Fix, see here for details http://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/10-11-0-10-11-3-skylake-starter-guide.179221/)
4) I used USB mouse and keyboard to complete the installation because build-in input devices were not recognized

Post Installation:
- Use USB stick to boot into your new system
- Do NOT use Multibeast. Install vanilla Clover to hard drive and copy EFI folder from the stick.
- Ethernet RealtekRTL8111 v2.2.1 works for me (copied with EFI)
- Keyboard and touchpad was enabled by VoodooPS2Controller
- Build a bunch of kexts and install them like that:
Code: 
mkdir ~/Projects
cd ~/Projects
git clone https://github.com/RehabMan/HP-ProBook-4x30s-DSDT-Patch probook.git
cd ~/Projects/probook.git
./download.sh
./install_downloads.sh
- I assume that you have copied SSDTs with EFI folder, but if you haven't, than build and install them:
Code: 
cd ~/Projects/probook.git
./build.sh
./install_acpi.sh install_4x0g3_skylake
- In order to enable power management, build a custom SSDT.aml:
Code: 
cd ~/Projects/
git clone https://github.com/Piker-Alpha/ssdtPRGen.sh.git
cd ~/Projects/ssdtPRGen.sh/
./ssdtPRGen.sh # before running this command be sure you configured SMBIOS and rebooted
cp ~/Library/ssdtPRgen/ssdt.aml /Volumes/EFI/EFI/Clover/ACPI/patched/SSDT.aml
- Reboot, clean kext cache

I just tried to update to macOS High Sierra and sound does not work for me at all.
New guide is available at https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-hp-probook-430-g3-skylake-high-sierra.228113/
In this forum there are hundreds of posts and all of them are different. Some are just incorrect, the others are outdated.
If anyone could help me with the sound issue, I'd appreciate and add this info to the new [Guide]
