Here is my EFI, i will try to load in verbose in the meantime.

Lilu.kext should be first in your list in your config.plist

you have UIAC.aml but no USBInjectAll.kext...

you also have usbmap and usbports.kexts

remove all above but keep USBPorts.kext

XhciPortLimit needs to be disabled

this boot argument you have:
alcid=&lt;_layout_\&gt;
is complete nonsense, remove it

you are using smbios:
MacBookPro11,4

but your USBPorts.kext info.plist is using:
MacBookPro11,2 in 2 places and also MacBookPro11,1 in another place in the same file....

needs to be the same, whichever one you decide to try

glad your speakers are working, the boot argument alcid= was correct but would normally have a number next to it

yes, your usb port setup is important to do

also make sure you are in the 15 port limit:

Important: January 2023 Update It's been a while since this guide was written and Apple has changed their USB sub-system in several significant ways. So please bear in mind: 1) From Big Sur 11.3 onwards the OpenCore XhciPortLimit Quirk stopped working. It hasn't been fixed yet. So generally we...

Well, it would be great if you outlined what you did to solve the problem. For others who may be reading...

By the way, in your USBPorts and USBMap kexts you use system-defintion MacBookPro11,1, but in your config.plist you use MacBookPro11,4. So neither of the kexts would work.

I removed usbmap & UIAC.aml from Kext folder and in config.plist.
I also disabled XhciPortLimit.

I see USBInjectAll.kext in Kext folder but it's not added in the config.plist, should i add it or just remove from the folder as well ?

Solution: I disabled "VoodooInput.kext - disabled for VoodooRMI" in Kernel (Config.plist)

remove all kexts you are not using, including USBInjectAll.kext

Removed USBInjectAll.kext.

I can't really tell which Kext i'm using and which one i'm not except Bluetooth Kexts (it doesn't work).
