EFI partition coming up blank every time now.

I've done multiple formats and installs on my SSD trying to get audio working..

Was using clover configurator to mount the EFI, then was editing out some audio kexts with text edit.

Tried to start fresh one more time, and noticed the EFI volume is blank.

Formatted, partitioned, reinstalled.. blank EFI again.

Have I damaged my SSD from too many partitions? I've no idea what else could have happened. I haven't done anything differently.

I've used several different Mounter programs. Same thing.

Am I booting off the wrong partition? I select "uefi (diskname)"
