- Split macOS sound card logic by OS version: - Use virtio-sound-pci for macOS 12+ (Monterey and newer) - Use ich9-intel-hda for Big Sur - Keep intel-hda for earlier macOS releases - Add virtio-sound-pci case to configure_audio() to pair the device with existing audiodev backends (PulseAudio, PipeWire, ALSA, CoreAudio) - Update help text to include virtio-sound-pci as an allowed sound card option - Add virtio-sound-pci to allowed sound cards in sound_card_param_check() VoodooHDA injected via OpenCore stopped working from macOS 11.3+ onwards and usb-audio proved unreliable for Big Sur+. virtio-sound-pci works natively on macOS 12+ without kexts and fixes guest audio for affected versions.
