update. temp solved audio
change order. install big updates 1st.
installed little snitch , the part where it was "updating boot cache" fixed whatever was causing the applealcu not to load and versbose says probable nnennory leek
tested shutdown startups
100% works 8x0g1 maybe different for other laptop configs, but --> must run rehabmans post install script after each boot up, brings back the audio icon and audio works etc.
else no audio.
possible solution.
make all references to applealc and especially applealcu to start finish before applehda in the boot up
dummies proof how to?
sudo kextstat output
shows
applealc at index 21,
applealcu at index 146
applehdacontroller at index 122

How to use AppleALC
The only task you need to accomplish if your codec is
supported is to load the kernel extension and see if it works. You can use your bootloader for that but remember to load AppleALC earlier than AppleHDA (see sudo kextstat output for more detail).
Note that
Lilu must also be present for AppleALC to work.
