Intel NUC 10 Frost Canyon

NUC 10 Gen - sound works very well on Monterey. Only latest AppleALC.kext nedeed and ID - 23. In deviceproperties add PciRoot(0x0)/PCi(0x1F,0x3) .
HDMI sound works too?

Not working with my device; can you post your EFI folder maybe? Thank you.
 
You can use headphones option in sound system preferences (internal speakers option don't works).
Here is my EFI. DisplayPort/HDMI sound not works.

p.s. I get HDMI audio after change "PciRoot(0x0)/PCi(0x1F,0x3) parameters" but computer crash after a minutes (
So only headphones option is possible. Possible FakePCIID.kext broke something.

I think you missed earlier posts about FakePCID kexts being an issue in Monterey, users were looking for a way to get HDMI sound working without those kexts.
 
I tried this repo here with Monterey >>

And I'm happy to report that it does work rather well.

My 4K monitor gets 60Hz via HDMI 2.0, sound is working over HDMI and USB-C. The monitor is recognized as a 5K/UHD+ (quad 1440p), even though it's a native 3840x2160 display, but then again, this happened on my NUC8 and my Lenovo T580 as well.

Thunderbolt is working as well. I tested Thunderbolt with a UAD Arrow. Hotplugging is somewhat flaky. It worked once, it doesn't work a second time and needs a reboot after that. But it IS working.

So yeah, I think I'll keep this little box around until we've all moved to M1, ARM-Hackintoshes or VMs. ;)

What do your Geekbench Open CL and Metal scores look like out of curiosity? It used to be the NUC8 would kick the NUC10's butt because the graphics acceleration couldn't be enabled. I'm wondering if that was resolved, it would make it a much interesting box.
 
Geekbench 5 >>
Single-Core 966
Multi-Core 5941
OpenCL 5014
Metal 4381

Detailed report as pdf (I edited the PDF in Acrobat to get rid of the clutter and padding).

See this post here, graphics acceleration is apparently still an issue. The NUC8 has scores in the 800s.

 
Bummer. Maybe they'll fix it in whatevergreen someday. For what I'm doing with this thing, I'm set though - a little bit of light Photoshop/Lightroom, mostly DAW/music production work and a little bit of O365 for work.
