Currently I couldn't able to setup any audio device for my MacOS guest, but I need at least dummy sound because otherwise flash videos and HTML5 videos fails in Safari and I'm actually doing this setup for browser compatibility tests of a web page. So the workarounds I've found are the following:

Prox­mox Set­up and Ma­cOS In­stal­la­tion

Great man­u­al pro­vid­ed by i12bretro which I've used to in­stall Ma­cOS 13 Ven­ture:

Pot In­stal­la­tion Set­up

Cur­rent­ly I'm us­ing Spice/​​​QXL for dis­play dri­ver. Note there is not Ma­cOS guest tool avail­able and this is the rea­son we can't change the res­o­lu­tion with­in the guest.

Switch the Res­o­lu­tion while us­ing SPICE/QXL

We can set dif­fer­ent res­o­lu­tions with­in the Open­Core EFI set­tings by the fol­low­ing steps (as ref­er­ence see the sec­tion Con­fig­ur­ing Boot­ing With­out Open­Core Mount­ed from the man­u­al cit­ed above).

  • Use Moun­tE­FI and mount the EFI.
  • Use the MacOS's file man­ag­er and nav­i­gate to the mount­ed EFI par­ti­tion.
  • Ed­it the file EFI/OC/config.plist – find and mod­i­fy the fol­low­ing <string> di­rec­tive, note on­ly one res­o­lu­tion will be ac­cept­ed and the fall­back res­o­lu­tion is that de­fined in the OVMF UE­FI set­tings:
    <key>Resolution</key>
<string>1920x1080@32</string>

    <string>1280x960@32</string>

    <string>1280x960@16</string>

Here is a helper script that ro­tates two tem­plates of EFI/OC/config-{1920x1080,1280x960}.plist – note you need to pre­pare the two tem­plates. 

nano ~/bin/change-resolution.sh

#!/bin/bash

# List the available devices
# diskutil list

function main() {
    if [[ ! -z ${1+x} ]]
    then
        diskutil unmount /Volumes/efi 2>/dev/null
        mkdir -p /Volumes/efi
        mount -t msdos /dev/disk0s1 /Volumes/efi
        sleep 1
    
        if [[ -f /Volumes/efi/EFI/OC/config-${1}.plist ]]
        then
    	echo "Template in use: /Volumes/efi/EFI/OC/config-${1}.plist"
            sleep 1
    
            cp /Volumes/efi/EFI/OC/{config-$1,config}.plist
    
            sleep 1
            diskutil unmount /Volumes/efi
            reboot
            exit
        fi
        
        diskutil unmount /Volumes/efi
    fi
    
    sleep 1
    echo "Usage: $0 '1920x1080|1280x960'"
}

FUNC=$(declare -f main)
sudo bash -c "$FUNC; main"

change-resolution.sh "1280x960"

2. Us­ing oth­er Dis­play adapter types as "Stan­dard VGA" and "Vir­GL GPU" will al­low you to change the res­o­lu­tion from the Ma­cOS guest it­self, but the Spice con­nec­tion is much bet­ter than the VNC con­nec­tion that you can use with these de­vices. Us­ing these de­vices could be help­ful if you us­ing Team View­er as client.

Cur­rent­ly I couldn't able to set­up any au­dio de­vice for my Ma­cOS guest, but I need at least dum­my sound be­cause oth­er­wise flash videos and HTML5 videos fails in Sa­fari and I'm ac­tu­al­ly do­ing this set­up for brows­er com­pat­i­bil­i­ty tests of a web page. So the workarounds I've found are the fol­low­ing:

  • Use Team View­er: In­stall team Team View­er Host ap­pli­ca­tion (or the full ap­pli­ca­tion) it will set an Ag­gre­gate au­dio de­vice. Set­up the ap­pli­ca­tion to ac­cept di­rect LAN con­nec­tions and use Team View­er to con­nect to the guest via its IP. In this case you should re­move any sound de­vices form the Proxmox's VM con­fig­u­ra­tion, or if you have a sound de­vice de­vice it shouldn't use the Spice dri­ver, oth­er­wise no sound will come from Team View­er.
  • Use Spice client: With­in the Spice client at­tach some USB au­dio de­vice – i.e. Blue­tooth adapter and con­nect Head­phones to that de­vice from the guest Ma­cOS. In this case you should cre­ate enough num­ber of USB de­vices which use Spice dri­ver with­in the Proxmox's VM con­fig­u­ra­tion. Al­so of course you should use SPICE/QXL as Dis­play adapter.

3. You can change the OpenCore's boot menu Pick­er op­tions, via config.plist file in the fol­low­ing way:

  • Use Moun­tE­FI and mount the EFI.
  • Use the MacOS's file man­ag­er and nav­i­gate to the mount­ed EFI par­ti­tion.
  • Ed­it the file EFI/OC/config.plist and mod­i­fy the fol­low­ing di­rec­tives:
    <key>ShowPicker</key>
<true/>                <!-- Set this to 'false' if you want to disable the picker -->
<key>Timeout</key>
<integer>5</integer>   <!-- 0 will disable the timeout, currently it is 5 seconds -->

All avail­able op­tions are de­scribed with­in the OpenCore's Con­fig­u­ra­tion man­u­al (PDF file).
