How to enable audio in macOS Tahoe with MyKextInstaller

adv_j replied to MaLd0n's topic in Guides and Tutorials

Successfully upgraded to 26.1 and installed KDK from 26.0. Now the system is loaded only in safe mode (-x). No application is running. The system says that the launch is not possible because the system is 26.0 and the application is for 26.1. What should I do? Where can I get at least a terminal for 26.0?
