@AudioGod, I hope you are right, Apple said that they will continue Intel support for two more years, therefore, I'm not sure about next macOS releases, but even if they will, many of the new features won't be available for Intel based machines.

Apple said on their first Apple Silicon Macs unveiling that they will support Intel Macs "for years to come". I believe two years would make people very angry, so 5-7 years seems more logical.

He’s confusing what they said, what they said is two years too fully transition to Apple Silicone only not 2 more years of support…lol

@panosruThey can’t do that without getting into serious hot water and getting sued to high hell. They have to continue supporting the Intel products they sold for at least 4 years and considering you can still goto a shop and buy a Intel Mac that clock hasn’t even started ticking yet.

@WizeMan & @AudioGod, I can understand the difference between "release new versions of macOS for Intel-based Macs for years to come" and "expect a full transition to Apple silicon will take about two years".

 

My concern is that "support Intel-based Macs for years to come", even from legal stand-point, could mean that they will continue releasing new minor and patch versions of the latest macOS that will support Intel, but "full transition to Apple silicon... about two years", could mean that after about two years the new major release version of macOS will only work on Apple Silicon. In other words, if we could assume that Mojave could potentially be the last macOS that will support Intel, before Apple makes a full transition to Apple Silicon, then Mojave will continue getting updates for years to come, but the new macOS releases won't support Intel.

 

Frankly speaking, I believe that this will be the case, and I really hope that I will be proved wrong :)

I see your point but you are wrong so you will be happy in years to come. All that will happen is more and more Apple Silicone features will pop up more and more as time goes on. I stress again, Apple can’t do what you are assuming without getting into deep trouble. Do you really think they are that dark that they will do that to all the people that bought 20k MacPros in 2021?

Na mate, Not even Apple is that deep dude and they are the deepest of the lot….lol

Quick question: Is it possible to get the chime work via display port? Thanks!

 

I would also like to know if this would be possible. I have my speakers connected to my monitor's audio port.

Also I used chris1111's Minimal theme on OC and the icons seem way too small for my resolution. (2560x1440)

Is there something I can change to more proportionate icons?

Dortania says it's a hit or miss, you can try using the guide, if you can find the GPU audio controller and port.

Yeap, I'm kind of stuck on that one.. :/ 

 

UPDATE:

So far what I've done is the following:

 

I run the following commands in terminal to check my vendorID and devices, I got two, I'm not sure what the 0x2 is about.

My config looks like this:

And system information is showing the following audio devices (physical + virtual):

So far I have tried with AudioOut set to 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4, but I wasn't able to hear any chime on boot, the chime mp3 file is in place:

v11.6 installed perfectly fine with OS v0.7.3 based on @eSaF config.

Can actually confirm that it worked like a charm for me as well, with a few minor modifications for my setup.

@eSaF thank you for the great work and for making me understand how to work on my EFI for future reference.

On a different note, I remember you mentioning that the same EFI works on Monterrey as well. Would any big changes need to be made for the new OS or is it plug&play?

I am confused if i need to copy my SSDT files over from previous efi or I can use this EFI  as it is and just add my serial number and stuff?

I will assume you have a gigabyte z390 Pro, Master or Pro wifi as you haven't filled in the Specs of your machine in your profile as mandated. You can try the EFI Folder in its entirety and just fill in your S/N etc, etc or if you have specialised SSDT files pertaining to your setup, you can copy those over instead after discarding mine and also make the change to the config.plist to reflect your SSDT files.

Sorry about that I have :
System - Motherboard: Gigabyte Z390 AORUS PRO, CPU: Intel i7 8700k, Video Card: AMD RX580, RAM: 32GB, WIFI: FENVI T919

 

I have built the EFI and i am trying to test it off a usb drive but cannot make it to work. For creating the pendrive i formatted a pendrive with fat32 format and then pasted my EFI in it. I rebooted and press f12 to select usb but i done get my system boot from it Am i missing anything in terms of making an EFI test pendrive?

@nikhil96widhani - Ok it all depends on how your BIOS is set up also what version. With your specs if your BIOS is setup correctly, you shouldn't be having that kind of trouble booting off the EFI Partition of a correctly formatted USB Drive. I think at the beginning of this Thread or some where about, @AudioGod listed the BIOS settings required to boot, run or install OS X. Have a look and compare your settings again incase you missed something. Good luck.

Hello,

I spent whole day trying to boot but i am unable to make it work. I changed serial number and other details for the new efi provided by you but cannot figure out what is wrong. One thing i found is that my old EFI has kext for wifi but i don't know if just need to copy that kext over to new one. I am uploading my 2 efi old and new if you can review them and help at your convenience. the one tagged as OLD efi is being used with Mac Bigsur 11.2.1 right now with 12k bios version (MSR unlocked and audio gods settings done). We have similar system but mine motherboard is non wifi and i have fenvi wifi added. 

 

below is the link which has my old working efi and new one and i am sending you the password to access the file by message. 

https://cloud.nikhilwidhani.com/s/7ypmfRcqRYKpEYf

i could attach my efi here but everyone says its not safe so i will share password with @eSaF and @AudioGod  in message.

 

System - Motherboard: Gigabyte Z390 AORUS PRO, CPU: Intel i7 8700k, Video Card: AMD RX580, RAM: 32GB, WIFI: FENVI T919

 

I thank you in advance, please help me if you can :)

@xtddd and @unknownharris - Guys follow my example in this EFI Folder. Everything is updated including all kexts, I have removed all my personal data so you'll have to furnish it with your own. The changes in the released .0.7.3 is as shown and must be enabled for the GUI to be shown and the Boot to be successful. One more thing do not use any files from your previous EFI Folder apart from your personal data. Good luck.

Just to add and to avoid confusion, Your SSDT Files can be carried forward, your Mapped USB kext can be carried forward all other kexts should be updated to the latest versions.

Thanks for this!  Everything went well in the update after adding my own info to the EFI.  I added the AirportBrcmFixup.kext as my wifi speeds were a little slow (to see if that will help), but everything else seems to be ok with boot up.  I did a "Find Differences" using BBedit and there was a few things were picked up from the original I had, but likely due to the update as everything is working.

@mariodj - See attached and carefully copy all that is shown in the box, also enable Internal Graphics in the BIOS as well should be ok.
