How to Fix Asus Zenbook UX305LA Catalina Post-install issues (no audio/sleep/graphics)

This mini-guide provides a structural approach to troubleshoot and fix the issue.

Prerequisites

  • Confirm your hardware specifications (CPU, GPU, Motherboard).
  • Ensure you have a bootable recovery USB and backup your EFI.

Fix Steps

  1. Check if your GPU requires WhateverGreen or specific boot-args (e.g., agdpmod=pikera).
  2. Ensure Metal acceleration is fully supported for your macOS version.
  3. Update Lilu and WhateverGreen to the latest versions.

Verification

  • Reboot and verify if the functionality is restored and stable under typical usage.

Original Question:

Hi,

I'm trying to hackintosh the above mentioned laptop of my friend using the latest Opencore (The CPU is core i7 5500U and gpu intel HD 5500). I managed to install and boot into Catalina but I have several issues:

  1. No sound - in the sound settings nothing is present I tried with layout ID's 13 and 16 but no luck
  2. No Graphics, the graphics card and the display are working to full resolution only and cannot be scaled also it's recognized as 7 mb only (in bios it's set to 32 mb)
  3. No brightness - I cannot adjust the brightness at all
  4. No sleep, closing the lid does nothing also when you go Apple logo -> Sleep it hangs until I press a button

I think I've followed carefully the opencore guide but idk how to fix those, I've tried using other people's configs but I didn't even manage to boot.

I initially didn't have the whatevergreen kext in my kexts folder but when I added it it caused kernel Panic so I kept it but "unload" it from config.plist.

You can find my OC folder as well as the codec dump and pcie/usb outputs from linux here
