If those are "megabits per second" I think those are correct speeds - but I'm not that well versed. Maybe @RehabMan can provide some guidance there.

If you have not done the custom USB port patch, you must do so. Your USB ports cannot exceed 15 per hub.

Those are MegaBytes per Sec, The B is capitalized. They do not seem correct, too slow.

@Bob_the_Tomato : In a USB 3.0 port with a USB 2.0 key, I am getting 14/40MBs. With a USB 3.0 key in a USB 3.0 port, I am getting 39/129MBs.

After perusing the internet for information about USB speeds, it seems that the actual data transfer rate you end up with really depends on how much you spend! Flash memory varies quite a lot. Look at the Read and Write speeds listed on this list:

http://www.bestproducts.com/tech/gadgets/g502/usb-flash-drives-memory-storage/

I can't vouch for this site but it was one of the few that even bothered to list Read and Write speeds.
I have several of these: SanDisk Cruzer Fits, a couple of Sandisk Cruiser Glides and a new Sony Dual connector model USM16CA1. I even have a LaCie Rugged Key. None of them reach the speeds of this puppy: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01E17LOMU/?tag=tonymacx86com-20 with 400MBs Read and 180MBS write.

Nice bit of research there - very informative. Personally, I never gave it a second thought!

Thanks a lot of JCMunsonII for this post.

I had the same start point as you, an old MacBook, so I couldn't perform a straightforward Sierra installation.

All your instructions and comment worked fine for me, beside I learned a lot of in this build. If my first time in hackintosh.

BR,
JI

I managed to make Audio to work without VoodooHDA.

If you want your build to become a golden build, you may be interested in fixing everything. However I'm not sure what's needed for a golden build, it's only my assumption

First make sure to backup `AppleHDA.kext` from S/L/E.

1. Use this script to detect your codec etc.:
   • https://github.com/toleda/audio_ALCInjection/blob/master/audio_codecdetect.command.zip

   • HDMI audio codec(s)
     Intel:    0x8086280b
     
     Onboard audio codec
     Device: Not supported
     Realtek: 0x10ec1220
     Name: Realtek ALC
     Audio ID: Not supported
     Current Audio ID: 1 (valid: 1, 2, or 3)

2. Use method 3.A from this guide:
   • https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...lake-audio-onboard-and-or-hd-6x0-hdmi.221618/
   • The script I used was: https://github.com/toleda/audio_ALCInjection/blob/master/audio_200_Series_hda-124_v1.0.command.zip
   • Note: do NOT edit the scripts `gDebug` to `1`, or the script will not work (took me ages to realize that). @toleda Maybe a bug?
3. Just in case use Kext Wizard to rebuild permission and kernel cache.
4. Reboot. (The audio will not yet work.)
5. Use this guide now to fix the issue:
   • https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/audio-realtek-alc-applehda-guide.143757/#post886744
     
   • II. Realtek ALC AppleHDA Scripts - cloverALC/Beta - ALC1220S
     
   • https://github.com/toleda/audio_alc_test/blob/master/audio_cloverALC-1220-120.command.zip
   • Run the script, answer everything with Y.
6. Just in case use Kext Wizard to rebuild permission and kernel cache.
7. Reboot & Profit.

Sooo, after iTunes 12.7 refused to run... I reinstalled OS X 10.12.6 and got iTunes to execute correctly.
BUT....I lost audio again. No problem, I thought, I'd just go through this again... no bananas...

I've tried every method listed in Toledea's QuickFix link, removing each one after they did not work. Actually, the one I did not try was using a HEX editor to manually edit the HDA file.

Still pulling my hair out... I just might try Vooodooo... I mean the software not the hex!
