Any wisdom would be appreciated, I made it in and in the process of installing kexts w Kextbeast, audio done, but AppleHDADisabler.kext wont install w KB. What am I not doing?
Thank you

AppleHDADisabler.kext wont install

If you have it on the desktop along with V.HDA they both will go to /library/extenstions when you run kextbeast.

Thank you. My next question is re Clover Configurator, I sure I have not configured it properly.

You should always eject your flash drive first before mounting the the EFI partition of your system drive. Makes it simpler. What you want to do is open the partition of disk0s1 then go to the config.plist in the Clover folder. Double click on that then you can make any needed changes.

Watch the video from the 14:30 timestamp through the whole setup of the config.plist.

Just a shot in the dark, I recreated my Unibeast USB boot drive with a completely different flash drive... re-downloaded High Sierra, re-downloaded Unibeast and I'm getting the exact same results. I even tried the USB 2.0 ports on the back of the computer.

One thing I did notice is before I ejected the USB drive out of my Mac, the /EFI/Clover/kexts/10.13 are empty....they all are, except for the "Other" folder.

Having the some problem!
