Use a version of Clover that works.

For my XPS 15 9550, these three PCI Error patches have to be in place to connect and use specific 5G network/router. My Asus88 router did not have any issue, but Netgear R9000 and Asus 55U both would not let me connect/use the 5G network reliably.

No. The mistake is in your setup elsewhere.
Possibilities:
- ACPI injections via SSDT or DSDT patches you don't need
- ACPI injections via Clover options that are broken and you don't need
- incorrect version of FakePCIID kexts

The PCI error patches just cover up your other mistakes. Rare case of "two wrongs make a right".

Ok. I used darkhanz's patches. Maybe you can point out whether it's a specific ACPI/Clover/FakePCIID issue. I have attached my Clover directory w ACPI, config, and kext.

Hey, I'm having issues with sound. I just installed Sierra on an EliteBook 840 G1 and everything works but sound. On El Capitan, I would just rebuild the kernel cache, boot without caches, restart a few times and it would work. However, that's hot happening this time. I can't boot without caches (I know that was removed in Sierra) and I don't feel like
"sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions && sudo kextcache - u /" does much anymore because I get this error whenever I use it:
KernelCache ID: 2CEDA9241D6DE8E93C03F2DD3AE910B1

symlink("/System/Library/PrelinkedKernels/prelinkedkernel", "/System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/Startup/kernelcache") failed 17 (File exists) <createPrelinkedKernel 2795>

Is this normal? And what should I do next? I checked my config.plist for the extra AppleHDA patch in the OP but my codec doesn't apply to the warning.

Not an error.


And what should I do next?
