Could you build this?

No Restoring native audio on macOS depends on hardware-specific codec layouts, kernel extension patching through OpenCore and Lilu, and per-machine testing. This requires low-level macOS and driver expertise and access to target hardware.

What it would actually take: The work involves analyzing AppleHDA codec layouts and writing or tuning ACPI and kext configuration for each hardware model. It also requires testing across many machines and macOS builds, since updates can break the setup. Deep kernel-level and hardware-specific knowledge is needed.
