AppleALC is not seen in the terminal, and in the Clover Configurator I don't understand if the audio is injected. This is the screenshot of my system and in Clover Configurator.
AppleALC should appear as shown below. If it does not appear, please check the following:
Is this happening on your Z370 Gaming 7 with an add-in GC-Titan Ridge or GC-Alpine Ridge card?
Hello @Mattioo, I've looked at your Clover and Extensions folder and found some differences. Because I'm a first time builder and new to Hackintosh I don't want to make statements, I just followed CaseySJ's guide like you.
But I will point out some differences I've noticed (if you still have the same configuration you've posted in the above post):
Your EFI folder:
- Our 'patched' folders are the same
- In 'drivers' you have SMCHelper.efi and I believe this belongs to FakeSMC and not VirtualSMC. In the guide for VirtualSMC (https://github.com/acidanthera/VirtualSMC/blob/master/Docs/FAQ.md) it states: "SMCHelper-64.efi is not compatible with VirtualSMC.efi and must be removed." The remaining drivers we both have the same.
- In 'kext' you have (like CaseySJ mentioned) more kext's than probably is necessary. I have followed CaseySJ's guidelines in 'just the basic kext's'. So I only have: Lilu, SMCProcessor, SMCSuperIO, USBInjectAll, VirtualSMC an WEG.
Library/Extensions:
- The same kext's I have in EFI's kext folder, I have in the Extensions folder. This seems double, but this is how I understood it works. You're missing VirtualSMC. Again, could be this doesn't meen anything, I'm just pointing out differences.
config.plist:
I attached mine. There are a few differences, but again I don't know which is better.
The only thing I do know is that my hack is running smooth since day one. Within 3 days it was my main working machine and I left my old iMac. Because I have a good backup I like to try and tinker sometimes, so I tried the AptioFix3 (mainly because the scary messages over the 2000 version). But it didn't work out, so I reverted back and now I hope CaseySJ is right about the 2000 version (that it's not that bad). Tinkering is fine, but I also have work to do!But I like the whole 'lets tinker together so we will have the best hack possible' thing, so please keep tinkering!
BTW, if you think you see a flaw in my config, please share!

Going the Extra Mile
Installation and post-installation are complete, but the system can be fine-tuned further. The next few sections cover a broad set of topics that can significantly enhance the user experience.
One of the first concerns is to decide upon a final System Definition (SMBIOS name and Platform ID). Users of audio/video apps such as Final Cut Pro, iMovie, Adobe Premiere, Adobe Photoshop, and many other such applications should consider switching to a headless platform ID in which the discrete GPU drives the display monitor and the iGPU is either disabled or used for compute tasks. The table below summarizes the various options available as of the release of macOS 10.14.5.
Please click here for an example of how to set headless platform ID 0x3E980003 for 10.14.4 and later. Also note that "WEG" is a common abbreviation for WhateverGreen. For additional options (for 10.14.4 and earlier), refer to the section For Final Cut Pro X (FCPX) and iMovie Users below.

No problem — here’s a checklist:Hmmm, I'm currently running iMac19,1 setup on 10.14.6, but doesn't feel the Radeon VII is giving its full performance because some apps are using the Intel iGPU in tandem.
What do I actually need to change, if I switch to the iMacPro1,1 besides disabling the Intel iGPU in the bios? (the easy part!)
Do I just need to delete the Platform ID and delete the platform ID with WhateverGreen? I'm sure the info is buried somewhere, but I'm a bit dense today!
