How to Fix Audio with ALC897 (Asus Z590-P) on Big Sur doesn't work

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:

Hello,

I successfully installed Big Sur on my build with

MB: Asus Z590-P
CPU: Core i5 11400
GPU: Radeon RX580 & RX5700XT (both work)

everything is working fine except my audio, I installed AppleALC and added alcid (69 and 66) in boot-args.

as you can see the output device shows up in the sound settings but it doesn't make any sound and when I change the volume the settings window is laggy.

what is the problem?
