AppleALC.kext v1.9.3 might fix your Audio issues. The latest kext can be downloaded from the link below.

Builds

Bluetooth:

1. Which Bluetooth dongle are you using?
2. Which kexts were you using in Sonoma/Ventura?
3. Have you updated the BT kexts, as Sequoia requires the latest release for Broadcom or Intel BT to work?
4. Have you a USB kext for your system?
5. Have you checked that the USB port used by the BT dongle is active in the kext?
6. Have you checked that it still works correctly, i.e. used a different USB device in the port?
7. If you swapped SMBIOS when/before updating to Sequoia, did you make sure the model name in the USB kext matches the new SMBIOS model name?

AirDrop:
AirDrop can be run over Ethernet, if you have the Ethernet Network service set as priority over the WiFi service. See the link below for details.

Using wired LAN and need to use AirDrop

I've got an iMac and I use the wired LAN (Ethernet) port. I also want to use Airdrop, which requires WiFi. Is there a way I can configure the network settings to use wired LAN for all traffic apart...

1. I'm using TP Link UB500 BT receiver. I remember a few time ago I've found on the internet that the internal chipset isn't compatible with macOS

If you didn't create your USB configuration, that may be why it isn't working correctly for your system.

All it takes is 1 port to be misconfigured for the USB configuration to break and cause Sleep/Wake and power issues for your system in macOS.

Personally I wouldn't use these two kexts, as they are likely to cause more issues than they resolve.

1. AMDRyzenCPUPowerManagement.kext
2. SMCAMDProcessor.kext

They tend to hog system processes unnecessarily, and there are probably better less intensive Sensor kexts available.

You don't require the NullEthernet.kext, as you have a Realtek Ethernet controller in your system. This kext is only required when you have a laptop that lacks an Ethernet port.

RadeonBoost.kext is an old semi dysfunctional kext. I was never sold on the activities this kext was supposed to provide and it has not been updated for many years, so would be a really bad choice for any recent version of macOS.

I would recommend you disable/delete them all from your OC setup.

The dates you have for your list of kexts are probably not accurate. If they were you wouldn't be running Sequoia.

I assume you have a Realtek USB WiFi adapter in your system, hence the use of RtWlanU.kext and RtWlanU1827.kext. I wasn't aware that this Realtek USB adapters were still functional in macOS Sequoia. I thought they lost support with Sonoma, as the developer Chris1111 has stopped all work on these kexts.

I haven't used a USB Bluetooth dongle since Catalina, so have no idea if your TP-Link dongle will work or not.

How did you get the GPU to work? I have a very similar setup (ryzen 5 1600, gigabyte a320m-s2h and rx 470) but i see UNKNOWN on graphics section.
