CPU:
AMD Ryzen 3 2200G
Brand: MSI
Model: MSI MS-7B89 Desktop
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 1700
GPU: AMD Radeon 580 Series Xunjing (Songjing) 8GB ( Separate GPU mode)
HDD: Jintek SSD 256 GB
Name: Ruiyu RTL8168/8111/8112 Gigabit Ethernet Controller/Microstar
Network card type Wired network card
Main board: MSI B450M MORTAR MAX (MS-7B89) (LPC Controller B450 chipset)

As shown in the figure below, the audio device is not displayed in Hackintool, but the sound card device exists in PCle. At first, it was suspected to be an IRQ conflict problem, but the sound card driver is normal under the macOS Sonoma system. AppleALC is just a Lilu plug-in patched for AppleHDA, but in AppleHDA is not loaded under the macOS Sequoia system, so AppleALC directly loses the Patch target, and kextstat shows that AppleALC loading has no effect.

Confirmed working on my x570 Aorus Xtreme build. Just mesmerizing that tweak in the patch is all it took. Really wanna learn how people know what needs to be changed
 
¿Podrías decirme cómo desinstalar VoodooHDA, para probar AppleALC 19.3?

It's as simple as deleting the kext. You may need to update the cache but I doubt it. In any case you do these commands in terminal to rebuild.

Bash:
sudo kmutil clear-staging
sudo kmutil rebuild

Can confirm. 1.9.3 works perfect. Thanks.
 
Confirm appleALC 1.9.3 working on GA AX370 Gaming K5, RobStrix B550- F Gaming and ASRock B550 Phantom Gaming 4. All of them in Sequoia.

Thanks!
 
How you downloaded appleALC 1.9.3, there is only 1.9.2 under releases?
 
Link below for AppleALC.kext 1.9.3 etc.

 
Or pick a 1.9.2 build that has changelog of AMD HDA Controller change
 
Hi all together, many thanks to all of you - I finally got sound working on my macOS Ventura running in VMWare 17.01 Workstation with changed config.plist and VodooHDA installer. The only thing is that the VodooHDA Panel does not show up in the systemsettings. Any idea someone?

Hi. You need check preference panel in system configuration settings panel. I general last on add. If you used pkg installer is automatic appears. The controllers will not show up in system settings.

Thanks, but I do not quite understand what you mean - maybe you answer in your language and I will translate with deepl - besides I used the pkg-installer;)

Ok my language is Portuguese.
“A kext VoodoHDA é instalada na pasta L/E (Library / Extensions) e precisa de um patch (comando em forma de script ) que valida a instalação. Se você chegou a instalar e rodou os comandos e concedeu permissão na aba Privacidade & Segurança nas configurações do sistema (engrenagem cinza) então em tese deveria funcionar. Porém o painel de controle dela (PrefPanel) você precisa clicar duas vezes no arquivo do sistema e ainda precisa add na aba de usuários. Então o script que eu fiz já contém essa instalação completa.
Conforme meu vídeo:
