@bluenote56 Set this 2 keys as in the pic, csr-active-config is 03080000 as @ichelash says. But, if it doesn't exist, add csr-active-config in NVRAM -> Delete ->7C436110-AB2A-4BBB-A880-FE41995C9F82. ResetNVRAM at first boot after the change.

For a long time we set manually pinconfig while this is firmware affair. You may upload new firmware or just patch pinconfig. After getting good pinconfig VoodooHDA automatically calculates good topology. There is somehow AI inside.

You may create new topic in the section and after 5 posts you will be able to post everywhere.

The DMIC microphones may require using the DSP portion in the newer HDA controllers, which requires uploading firmware and topology to them.

@Slice - @MaLd0n 's Proposed config.plist includes unconditional ACPI patches that change TMR, RTC and PIC IRQs. My question remains - if not obsolete, why don't these changes affect Windows? I'm asking because I don't know - not because I'm challenging anyone.

@Slice So the only reason that the TMR, RTC and PIC IRQ ACPI patches don't affect Windows is because they are unnecessary? As I mentioned, I stopped applying IRQ patches after I started disabling HPET (which Apple did, I think starting with Mac Models in 2018).

@MaLd0n Another way that OC can break Windows is with ACPI patches that unconditionally change ACPI. I do the IRQ fixes with SSDTs instead of OC ACPI patches (e.g., I don't use config.plist > ACPI > Patch for IRQ fixes) so that I can condition them on _OSI("Darwin"). Why don't the ACPI patches like "TMR IRQ 0 Fix" affect Windows? Just asking, because I don't know - not challenging your wisdom. Thank you. EDIT: Although, after I started disabling HPET, I no longer needed IRQ fixes.

I need set my TDP to 253w or consume go to 350w+ and crash. After that just run fine with XMP on 6800mhz or 7000mhz.

@Slice I have make VodooHDA in github source 4 years ago https://github.com/chris1111/VoodooHDA-Code
