Have you disabled the IGPU? I know I get that alot on boot if I dont disable it.. Also try in clover configurator slide=0 or add it in clover menu.

For sound i'm using a Creative Omni Soundblaster 5.1, or HDMI audio through to my display (Arc into soundbar), so i can't really speak to that. @DenOfLore has an audio kext which seems to be successful, though. So it may be worth checking that out.

For network, i'm using the IntelMausiEthernet.kext, and I also have a Wifi/BT combo card installed that gives me native Wifi and Bluetooth.

Thanks a lot!!
I also use audio through a monitor. Test with IntelMausiEthernet.kext.
regards

MESwan - have you tried iMessage yet to see if it works?

Hey boogieman77, I changed IGPU from 'auto' to 'disabled' and seems to do the trick.... thanks!

Now I have to figure out why I'm unable to get macOS to start up from Clover on my NVMe SSD.
Copied over the EFI folder and even tried MESwan's EFI folder but appear to stop when the graphics mode switches over and get a black screen.

I still need to read up on post install 'to do' and get the USB, audio, etc. working...

Thanks again,
Barry

If followed correctly iMessage will work. I have handoff,airdrop and all working. I have given up on usb. I’ve tried and tried but no luck. I guess I’ll stick with 2.0 speeds.

Updated the MB BIOS from F5 to F7 and all is well

Thanks, I was mostly wondering how well iMessage and other services would work if NVRAM was not present or was being emulated. I saw in another thread that @derJan had iMessage working and was only using AptioMemoryFix, so I was curious if others were having success with iMessage activation using other combinations of memory fixes, such as with EmuVariable.

Hey everyone ! I've got the same build, except for the GPU which is a RX 580 Sapphire Pulse. Everything seems to be OK, so far so good, except for the Quicksync. Do you guys have it enabled ?

Did you make your IGPU headless? Search for it.
