What's not Working

Item Status Notes
Sleep Works mostly but can cause kernel panic on the Nvme. I have disabled NVme since I use SATA for the macOS. Working great
Hardware Acceleration Apps requiring hardware acceleration crashes, more info here. This can be prevented by disabling hardware acceleration on those apps or by increasing the VRAM size to 1GB+. You can use Smokeless UMAF AMD Tool.
Internal Mic Known AMD Issue, works with external ones
