I'm pretty certain MediaTek WiFi / BT isn't compatible with macOS, you will have to change the module to either Intel or BRCM.

But isn't here any kind of patch that makes macOS think that its a Intel or BRCM module? I heard that MT USB modules works. Then Isn't there a way to fix my internal module?

I really don't know, Ive never had to use a patch for WiFi. All I can suggest is research the issue, or swap out the module.

No, your Mediatek WiFi/BT card is a dead end. There are no kexts at all for any version of macOS for any MediaTek cards.

Replace the card with an Intel or Broadcom compatible card, or use a USB WiFi dongle. See the link below for inexpensive USB Wireless options.

UPDATE: 9/30/23 If you use OpenCore and have installed Sonoma 14.0 Chris1111 has a method to let you keep SIP enabled while using a Realtek USB Wifi adapter. Here's the video instructional to re-enable SIP by Chris-1111 Also See: https://github.com/chris1111/Wireless-USB-Big-Sur-Adapter...

Then fix my microphone. AppleALC mic doesn't work with AMD. VoodooHDA was supposed to work but it is also not working. mic doesn't Work. My audio Codec is:

1. Realtek® ALC1220-VB Audio CODEC
   * The back panel line out jack supports DSD audio.
2. Support for DTS:X® Ultra
3. High Definition Audio
4. 2/4/5.1/7.1-channel
5. Support for S/PDIF Out

See this OC post install entry regarding AMD system Mic.

# No Mic on AMD

Best option for you is to buy a cheap USB Audio adapter something like this if the Mic is that important to you.

But they are saying that voodooHDA should utilize mic. I can't buy an adapter. Please give me a fix for this.

They, whoever they may be, say a lot of things, not all of them are correct or work for every situation.

If VoodooHDA works with your AMD system, then you are in luck. If it doesn't then you are out of luck.

There is no 'Fix' to be had for VoodooHDA.kext, it either works or it doesn't. Simple really.

Because your last post sounded so warm and fuzzy (read petulant and childish) I will add one more observation that you may or may not have undertaken or understood.

The assumption is that when you tried using VoodooHDA.kext that you removed/deleted AppleALC.kext from your OC setup. By that I mean actually deleted the kext from the /EFI/OC/Kexts folder and removed the AppleALC.kext entry from the Kernel > Add section in your OC config.plist. As the two kexts are known to clash when both are employed in the same EFI. If that wasn't the case then you need to try using VoodooHDA.kext in the correct environment to see if it works with your Mic, i.e. with no other Audio kexts/fixes present in your setup. Also very simple really.

I disabled AppleALC. So I don't think there is any clash. Then I Installed Voodoo in Library/Extensions. Because OC doesn't load it. I tried with OC. So the problem is my mic shows up and also the volume slider but no input in heard by the mic. Completely silent.
