You can, but it will make Windows the default startup. If you have Bootcamp on the Windows side you can use that to boot back to macOS. Otherwise, you'll have to press"ESC" at boot to choose macOS again.
Got a tip for us?

Did that. No joy. This is ALC889A, device path 0x1b, layout-id 0c000000/12/DAAAAA==
Tried both 1.5.8 and 1.5.9 versions of AppleALC kext.
Yes, it is still broken. For me and my iMac12,2 and 11,3 it is showing at least the hardware and the microphone jack is working with my older iPhone 3.5mm chinch in (microphone) and out (headset). Internal speakers remain unusable. It is under development....
As long as -no_compat_check is set it just operates as a supported OS on cMP5,1 ( Minus the update initiation).
OK, as I understand it the -no_compat_check is recommended to be disabled as per post #1 though?
There must be something incorrectly configured as I was able to update to 11.2.3 seamlessly and without issue using just hybridization. I too have a genuine cMP5,1 with two X5690s. I detailed my experience here.
It is fixed now:

Thanks both, I have no idea about Hackintool but downloading and looking into it now. Appreciate any tips you can give on getting it working with Big Sur!
I don't mind a reboot every morning as I tend to turn the machine on in the morning and then off at the end of the day, so it's not a big deal if it buys me an extra 12-18 months with the machine!
There's no guarantee the PCIe sound card drivers/kext will even work in Big Sur, so it's a long shot anyway. If it doesn't, I'll wipe the drive and install Catalina and see if that works.
I also want to be able to get Logic X and FCPX updates in the future, but they are Catalina upwards.
OK, I have Hackintool and by default it wants to put the kext in the following location:
1) Macintosh SSD / Library / Extensions
However in Mojave the Kext is actually in:
2) Mac SSD / System / Library / Extensions
Is it okay to change the path to 2), or do you leave it at path 1) and then have to restart on each fresh boot of the machine?
Apologies if my understanding is a bit off!

That wasn't the case with my audio interface (which previously required SIP to be disabled for many generations of OSX).
I'll try with Library / Extensions and if that doesn't work, investigate further!

Hi - so far so good (with the kext in Library / Extensions).
The machine restarted and then cut off mid way through another restart - and then turned back on again - quite possessed.
Then, it worked!
I have lost the preference pane (it's there in System Prefs but doesn't seem to detect the PCIe card) but can adjust the settings in Audio/MIDI controls.
I haven't tried another reboot or cold start yet!

I tried installing it, but it did not go. It crashed at NVME controllers (My BS is on an NVME drive). Never had that issue before. I could only continue by selecting the BS option in the bootpicker not the newly created Macintosh HD. It "appeared" it was upgrading BS, but after booting I realized it did not go through.

looking for some answers and help please. Today I decided to remove my open core SSD from my system and prep it for sale. I simply removed the SSD containing open core, my Vega VII, and all my other drives. Installed my efi flashed 280x and did a few NVRAM resets.
threw in a small Apple Blade in an Apple PCIe adapter and installed Mojave via USB.
Once done, I ran updates then proceeded to take some screen shots and I noticed now my ram is no longer showing 1333 but now showing 1066Mhz I decided to blast away a few more NVRAM resets and reboot, but then it lost the Disk and wouldn't boot so I fired up my usb installed and used the select startup disk from there and was able to get it booted back up. but ram still showing 1066Mhz
is it possibly a corrupt BootRom is causing this? if so what is the best way to check? Im not sure how to use RomTool but I downloaded it and when I attempt to extract the zip it is asking me to type in a password for info.plist.
If anyone else has anything else they want me to check please let me know, I just want to make sure this machine is functioning well before I sell it.

@wickerstick I don't see any relation to OpenCore in your post. You could get better visibility by posting a new thread and troubleshoot your issues there?
