Notes

Fix CFG Lock

If you have gone through the Dortania's OpenCore Install Guide carefullly enough, you may find that of all the BIOS settings, disabling CFG Lock is particularly frustrating, since no GUI configuring option is provided.

In order to fix this issue, you will need to first:

Download Utils/modGRUBShell.efi (or from datasone/grub-mod-setup_var) and move it to EFI/BOOT;
Restart the computer, press F2 to go to the BIOS settings and choose to boot with EFI/BOOT/modGRUBShell.efi.

Note that normally we boot with EFI/BOOT/BOOTx64.efi， you may want to revert to the original state when CFG Lock got fixed.

By now you should find yourself in an interactive shell. You can run the following commands:

setup_var 0x5C3 to check CFG Lock: 0x00 means disabled, 0x01 means enabled;
setup_var 0x5C3 0x00 to disable CFG Lock;
setup_var 0x5C3 0x01 to enable CFG Lock in case you want it back.

Then you are good to go.

Fix headphone audio distortion

If you experience audio distortion when plugging in your headphone, please

Download Utils/hda-verb and move it to /usr/local/bin;
Download the Utils/Launch.app and move it to your Application folder in the Finder (or anywhere else you like). Then open the Users & Groups pane of System Preferences, click the Login Items tab and add Launch.app to the list.

Every time you log in from now on, the application will be automatically executed. What this app really does under the hood is to run two simple lines of shell commands (source https://www.elitemacx86.com/threads/fix-audio-distortion-when-using-headphones-on-laptops.185/) that will fix the problem:

/usr/local/bin/hda-verb 0x19 SET_PIN_WIDGET_CONTROL 0x25
/usr/local/bin/hda-verb 0x21 SET_UNSOLICITED_ENABLE 0x83
