Understanding the Problem:
The user is experiencing two primary issues with their Hackintosh build after successfully enabling hardware acceleration on their Lexa RX 550 graphics card:
-
DVI Port Issue: MacOS detects a monitor connected to the DVI port but no image is displayed.
-
AppleALC Audio Loss: The AppleALC audio kext (driver) injects properly but there are no recognized audio output devices.
Troubleshooting Steps:
1. DVI Port
- Cable and Adapter: Check if you're using a high-quality DVI cable and any necessary adapters are functioning correctly. Try a different cable or adapter.
- Monitor Compatibility: Double-check the compatibility of your monitor with DVI input. Review monitor specifications.
- GPU BIOS: In some cases, updating the RX 550's BIOS might resolve connectivity issues. Proceed with caution as this process carries some risk.
- Lilu and WhateverGreen Kexts: Ensure you have the latest versions of Lilu and WhateverGreen kexts installed and configured correctly. These are essential for graphics support in Hackintosh setups.
2. AppleALC Audio Loss
- Layout ID: Experiment with different AppleALC layout IDs to find the most suitable one for your system's audio hardware. Tools like Hackintool can help.
- Conflicting Kexts: A rarely occurring issue can be conflicts with other audio-related kexts. Temporarily remove or disable any other audio kexts and retry.
- BIOS Settings: Explore your Hackintosh's BIOS settings for onboard audio configuration options. You might need to enable or set specific parameters for onboard audio.
Additional Tips:
- Clean Configuration: Double-check your OpenCore or Clover configuration (
config.plist). Any errors related to graphics or audio injection can cause these issues. - Community Resources: Consult Hackintosh forums and communities. Search for others with similar hardware who may have solutions. Often, specific device combinations require specific patches or workarounds.
- Verbose Boot: Boot in verbose mode (
-vflag) to monitor the boot process and see if any error messages appear related to graphics or audio.
Disclaimer: Modifying your computer system with a Hackintosh carries inherent risks. Proceed cautiously and always create backups of your data.

RX 550 problems
I have a Lexa RX 550 in my hackintosh and i have faked the device id so Mac OS enables hardware acceleration and it works fine except 2 things.
- When I connect my monitor to the DVI port, MacOS recognises the monitor and all its info but it doesn't get any signal
- The moment i fixed the gpu, AppleALC stopped working. It injects fine but MacOS doesn't show any output devices no matter what layout i use
If anyone knows or has had a similar experience, all help would be much appreciated! Thanks
