[SUCCESS] Gigabyte Designare Z390 (Thunderbolt 3) + i7-9700K + AMD RX 580

[CaseySJ]

Hi CaseySJ,
I'm coming back to you for the "fixing audio procedure" (I know, I tend to push things when I don't need it, haha), because I have some time this weekend to have a look at it. I noticed that if I plug a headphone directly in the case (on the front panel) the sound "jump" time to time, getting louder then back to normal. Is that what this trick is supposed to fix? I don't really need it anyway, I am just curious.

You were saying you could help to do, how should I proceed? You said I could post my config.plist and that you can edit it for me (if you don't mind) if I remove the serial numbers from SMBIOS. how can I do such things?

Also, I plan to install Windows in one of the internal SSD. Do you have a tutorial link or something like this?

Thank you for all your help, my computer is running perfectly for 6 months without a problem.

Hello @Mochimino, let's address the 2 points:

Front panel audio

• If you can hear sound from the front panel (even if the sound is choppy and uneven) then your config.plist configuration is most likely okay. I have assembled 3 different Hackintoshes now (Gigabyte Designare, Asus X99 Deluxe II, and ASRock Taichi) and the front panel audio is choppy and uneven in all of them.
  • This is why I recommend one of two solutions:
    • Use the green audio jack on the rear IO panel. This provides the best audio quality.
    • If you must use front-panel audio, consider a USB audio interface such as this model that is on sale for US$6.99.

Installing Windows

• Please see the spoiler in the build guide, labeled Tips for Installing Windows 10. Here's a partial excerpt:

Please try the attached config.plist but first:

• Change SMBIOS to iMac19,1 again and ensure that serial numbers are populated in both SMBIOS and RtVariables.
• Then mount EFI partition of Mojave SSD using Clover Configurator --> Mount EFI or some other tool.
• Backup existing config.plist and copy new one in its place.
• Reboot.

Do you see any listings in PCI section? Please post screenshot.


Forward thinking! Love it. Shouldn't be the cause of this, though.

Thanks @CaseySJ! Just tested it and it worked! Looks like I'm having no luck with the SAPPHIRE NITRO+ Radeon RX 5700 XT which someone told me would work so now I got to find a way to get rid of that :/

WOW!!!! THATS AWESOME! I'll upgrade on the second SSD and see how it goes! Do you have a guide on it? Thanks!

and would I be able to port the kexts to Mojave?

We should first make a full backup of Mojave and then perform an in-place upgrade through System Preferences --> Software Update.

• If you're using SMBIOS iMac19,1 your experience should be fairly smooth.
• If you're using SMBIOS Macmini8,1 your experience can be a little bumpy, but just a little.

An in-place upgrade brings all kexts over to Catalina.

Please see my experience here:

I ran into this problem with one of the Catalina public betas, but the problem went away with a subsequent release -- or with the latest Lilu/WhateverGreen. I would suggest: Perform a full bootable backup. Then update Lilu, WhateverGreen, and AppleALC first. Don't forget to run Kext Utility to...

Well, here is a little guide:

Thank you for the guide. I expect to follow it this evening. Your posts are consistently well thought out and well researched. You're even succeeding with OpenCore whereas I'm not! It's awesome that you're teaching us all a thing or two!

I am having the same issue as well. Maybe it's MacOS bug. It's killing me and my OSD.

I am running the Z390 designare/i9-9900k/RX580.

@CaseySJ have you encounter this? I have exactly same hardware as your.

Reboot and login again, it should work. If it doesn't then sign out of iCloud reboot and religion.
