macOS 10.14.3 Mojave on Unsupported Macs (audio/siri don't work)

[lucyferpl]

I installed macOS Mojave on MacBook Pro 17 (late 2011) using "macOS Mojave Patcher" tool, and now built-in microphone (and also Siri) don't work. I google a lot for fix/solution without luck. I try 'setting/private", app/utilitles/audio midi", "setting/sound" - nothing work. Any idea how to make mic working again?

ps. I can change slider settings on "master stream", 1 and 2 - they are disabled
Is this a hardware problem or software settings?
When making a video call with a mac - I hear only the noise instead of the sound

this terminal command worked for me

 sudo kill -9 `ps ax|grep 'coreaudio[a-z]' | awk '{print $1}'`

but, my mic was working in system preferences and not with siri, so your mileage may vary
