[GUIDE] macOS Big Sur 11 on Z390 Aorus Elite board

Were you able to get onboard sound to work on Big Sur with Open Core? I dont see much discussion about in the forums.

I can have sound from the motherboard with AppleALC and layout-id 11 or 13 or 15 or 29 but always with background noise, they are low intensity but can be heard if there is no music playing. The same happened in Catalina. I have it disabled because I use a Bluetooth speaker. But on this board I have never got perfect sound.

Can you change the layout-id in Open Core configurator?

I do not use OC Configurator but with text editor or plist files it is easy to do it. There are 2 ways:
  • NVRAM / Add / 7C436110-AB2A-4BBB-A880-FE41995C9F82 / boot-args / alcid = 11 as String, this parameter has priority over the other, if OC detects this key, it is the one that loads; this parameter is recommended by OC developers to try different layouts until finding the right one
  • DeviceProperties / Add / PciRoot (0x0) / Pci (0x1f, 0x3) as Dictionary / layout-id = 0B000000 as Data, this parameter is recommended by OC developers for common use, OC ignores this parameter if alcid exists in boot-args.
Both parameters must not exist at the same time.
Note: in my example I have chosen 11 (0B000000) as layout and PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x1f,0x3) as audio path in the PCI map, use yours.

That worked perfect for me. I didn't have Plist edit so I used Open
Core configurator and used the same id and boot args. I have perfect sound with no static. You may just have a bad cable or something. Thanks for the Info and the help!

Is it RX 57 Vega or RX 56 Vega?
I think it can work with a single change. My dGPU is RX 580 (Polaris) and it doesn't need boot-args. Yours is Vega (Navi) and you may need agdpmod=pikera in boot-args. The rest of the EFI folder can be used. Try and comment if it works well.
Note: Please tell me if you use SMBIOS from iMac19,1 with iGPU enabled in BIOS or if you prefer to use iMacPro1,1 with iGPU disabled in BIOS.

You are wellcome.
Yes, I think I have a poor quality cable with bad insulation or perhaps it is the wall plug, it is a noise that seems to be of electrostatic origin. If you say that on your PC it sounds perfect, I have to try to see if I can solve it.
