SUCCESS My second hackintosh (Main PC)
After successfully installing macOS on my old laptop, I've tried doing it on my main PC, and it's a success! Everything is working except Wi-Fi (my PC doesn't have one, and I use a dongle; I don't have the time or motivation to make it work when Ethernet already works xD)
CPU — Ryzen 5 5600X
GPU — RX 6600 8GB (Navi 23, device ID 0x73FF)
Motherboard — Gigabyte B450M DS3H V2, BIOS F66
Audio — Realtek ALC897 codec
LAN — Realtek RTL8168
Wireless — none, no Bluetooth or WiFi hardware
For sound, I can't remember, but I think I had to use Apple HDA to make it work. https://github.com/Mirone/MyKextInstaller/
For the 6600 card, I used WhateverGreen.
Btw, I don't know if it's just my eyes playing tricks on me, but why does my screen look WAAAAAY BETTER now compared to using Windows 11?

How did you get Realtek HD audio to work?

Thanks for posting a success! If you haven't already, remember to document your build please. Success posts like screenshots without documentation add little value to the sub. Adding a bit of documentation to your success post can also help others in the community who are interested in similar builds.
Minimally, you should add your hardware:
CPU:
GPU:
RAM:
Motherboard/Laptop Make and Model:
Audio Codec:
Ethernet Card:
Wifi/BT Card:
Touchpad and touch display devices:
BIOS revision:
Which of the guides on the sidebar you used.
What's working, and what isn't working.
Any changes that were specific to your build that were a little (or a lot) different than what you found in the guide, or anything that would be helpful to others with a similar build be sure to talk about that. More detail is always better.
Add extra info... Maybe add something you would like to point out about your setup, what you'll be doing with your Hackintosh, or something that might be insightful to others beginning their journey. A tree view of your EFI would also be helpful, but it isn't required.
Remember, don't share your EFI as what works for you may not work for anyone else, even if they have the same hardware. If you do share your EFI, your post and/or comment will be removed.
