A drive erase and reinstall did the trick.. The hassle was no recent usable backup, so starting from fresh. Once I am all set, I will use Carbon Copy Cloner to make a complete drive backup to save for later so I can avoid this pain again. An aside that if you have Xcode installed on a...

Updates on this issue, just to complete the thread. I was able to get around the problem by installing Ventura on a new clean hard drive. Once I successfully completed the install, I was able to boot into the new drive, in Ventura and see the old drive. I am in the process now of using...

Thank you, Edhawk.. I greatly appreciate that. I will check it out and give it a run. I have been testing with a newer OC version 1.0.6 boot key, so the config.plist is version different. I need to reset the key back to a known working version, so I can use this as an alt to see if it makes any...

Good point... In my system I dual boot now to Win11 and I need to have Above 4G decoding off for Win and on for Mac. I will double check the other settings, but I know my secure boot, fast boot and CSM are all still disabled. Above 4G decoding is enabled.. but I will look again. Thank you

I am still early in troubleshooting this issue, so this post is really just a high level "has anyone seen this before?" I had a well established Hackintosh system running Ventura 13.6.3 on an ASROCK B450 Pro4. Had been running with no issues, but I have had it offline for quite a period of time...

An updated AppleALC.kext and a clear of NVRAM did the trick! Thank you @Edhawk pm

Thank you kindly... My Lilu, WhateverGreen and other kexts were refreshed, but I must have missed AppleALC. I will also try reseting NVRAM as well and report back. Much appreciated! pm

I did a staged upgrade recently to Monterey with no issues, but I noticed today, after upgrading to Ventura, that my built-in audio is no longer listed or detected. My config did not change from Monterey, nor did the BIOS settings. Originally I was working on alcid=1 and I am working through...

This is my personal opinion, as someone who does tech support, I would strongly recommend against having someone ELSE building a Hackintosh for you. If you plan to run a Hackintosh system (which is very rewarding, don't get me wrong) you need to understand how it works and what to do when it...

Sorry, @erick, your laptop Ryzen CPU is not supported by OpenCore or the AMD Vanilla patches. Be sure to check the guides before trying out hardware.. it will save you a lot of time. pm

@awesomeelmo I think you will need to let us know what you are trying to do. There is no formal download centre here as all the resources used in an AMD OSX build are well documented and linked in the Open Core Install Guide. https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/ pm

Super strange.. I have only encountered coil whine once, and it was a combo of an old Asus motherboard and a modestly recent used standard power supply. Turned out the power supply was kinda baked (working but previously overheated). Swapped a different brand and the whine went away. I have...

Did you try switching which USB port the install media is in? Sometimes some USB controllers won't work at that stage. Try a motherboard USB3 port on the back.. pm

@RiddlerA if I had to guess, I would say that is a setting on your motherboard/bios. It kinda looks like UEFI verbose log items. I don't have this motherboard, so I can't say for certain, but that doesn't look like OC boot logs. As an aside, I used to have my system set to not show the verbose...

@proton, though our motherboards share chip set, I would find it very unlikely that the USB mapping file I have would work for you, but you are welcome to try it out. I actually got it from another Hackintosher with the ASRock B450 Pro4, and it has been perfect for me. I wish I could remember...
