You're nearing completion of your Big Sur Hackintosh setup. Here are the next steps:

1. Ensure iServices is functioning properly.
2. Confirm your sound system is correctly configured.

If everything checks out, restarting should verify the setup. Regarding the 5.1 surround sound issue, you're using Audio MIDI Setup to create an Aggregate Device. Try adjusting the channel assignments carefully—make sure each speaker corresponds to its intended position. If you're still experiencing glitches or lack of volume control, double-check that your subwoofer is assigned to the correct channel (e.g., 3 for left surround). Consider consulting the official documentation or community forums for specific channel mappings in your version.
