I installed mac os big sur on monster abra a5 v15.8(GK5MRFV barebone) with Monster Tulpar T7 v20.1(9th gen) config. Everything fine with first attemp, doesn't need any additional kext or settings for boot and install.

This config is made for 8/9th gen laptops which have Realtek ALC269 sound card, but 10th gen laptops have another model of sound card (possibly, ALC256?).

I checked it's ALC274

Well, since I have no 10th gen laptop, I cannot fix it with my attempt. If it is convenient for you, please perform the following operations to provide me an sound card codec file:

boot into a Linux system (e.g. Ubuntu or any other distro). You don't need to install it but just need a Live CD image.
copy /proc/asound/card*/codec* (* represents any character) to your desktop. These are the codec files of all sound cards.
pack these codec files and upload them as attachment.

Or you can also try to make an AppleALC layout file for your sound card by yourself.

Thanks, i will do it when i have time. I found the layout id of alc274 and tried alcid bootarg and some patched alc kexts that didn't work. Only VodooHDA kext looks like working but no sound still.

I have found a dump codec of ALC274 on tonymacx86. I will try to make an AppleALC layout.

Remain AppleHDA.kext not patched, uninstall VoodooHDA, and try this:
AppleALC.kext.zip

In config.plist:

change DeviceProperties -> PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x1f,0x3) -> layout-id from 1D000000 to 23000000
append -igfxnohdmi to NVRAM -> 7C436110-AB2A-4BBB-A880-FE41995C9F82 -> boot-args

Then reboot to see if the sound card works, and tell me the result - Chances are that there may be some mistakes in my porting process so the sound is still broken.

I tried that and didn't work. I will download an linux system try to dump sound card codec files.

Aki · Answer 8 · Sun Jan 24 2021 23:25:10 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

Also try to remove DeviceProperties -> PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x1f,0x3) -> device-id or change it to C89D0000

Mac OS wont booting stuck at apple logo after removing device id changing it to C89D0000 is no sound still.

VoodooHDA.kext.zip
Sound fixed with VodooHDA kext I found on tonymacx86. Mic and Speakers working fine now.

Aki · Answer 11 · Wed May 05 2021 16:32:47 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

It has been a long time and someone finally have made a custom layout for ALC274. Now it should work with alcid=28 boot argument and latest AppleALC version. Remember to delete any parameters in DeviceProperties -> PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x1f,0x3).

Please try this solution and see whether it works, if convenient.
