I wanted to add that with the Trust 18187 Bluetooth 4.0 USB Adapter, it works perfectly the magic mouse, the track pad and the original keyboard.
 
ops ..
there is a problem, I did not realize that the analogue back volume has become very low.
do you have a solution ??
 
Hi Guys, First attempt !, using elite 8300 USDT, swapped the CPU for i3-3225 with integrated hd4000.
using clover, managed to get everything else working except hd4000
when using inject intel in clover it fails to boot
any suggestions..thank you
 
Everything on both of my 8300s with 10.12.6 work, EXCEPT on occasion that when the computer wakes up, it cannot connect to the internet. If I try to open the wireless up on the top bar, I get the spinning beach ball - then I have to restart and it works flawless again.

Here is the USB adapter that I am using:

I was going to try this card, which states that it works to Hackintosh systems:

Any ideas on why it won't connect to the internet on occasion when it wakes up?
 
Good morning
I tried to reinstall the s.o. again, but I confirm that the output volume (analog) is much lower than normal.:(
do you think it's possible to do something?

Both of my 8300s have low volume - I had to hook up external speakers.
 
hi
probably I have not explained well, and 'just the rear analogue output that has a volume 50% less than my mac mini.
Tomorrow I get a USB audio adapter and I'll see if the volume will be better.
 
Hi, I am currently trying to get my 8300 set up. I Installed a Nvidia GT 1030 video card. When I boot from usb I can get into the OS, but when I remove my USB, I get an immediate freeze at boot. I reinstalled twice. Any specific things I should look for? Thanks

Edit: solved. My installer USB drive must have been corrupted. I created a new USB and and started the process over from the start for the 3rd time and now everything works perfectly. 9hours wasted but it’s working.

Hi guys,

Did someone have success to enable all 10 USB 2.0 ports on CMT by fixing DSDT or by clover config.plist?
By default only 6 USB 2.0 ports work and all 4 USN 3.0.
There are 2 connectors(MEDIA and MEDIA2) with 4 USB 2.0 ports.
I put in config.plist ProductName as iMac13,2.
These 4 ports do not work on Mac OS X (tested on 10.11.6 and 10.13.1), however they work when MAC OS X not loaded (I have BCM94360CD, bluetooth connected to one of this port, keyboard + trackpad work with BIOS and CLOVER), they are also work on windows, and they are also working when ProductName set as iMac14,2 (and obviously work when AppleUSBXHCIPCI fixed).
I understand that this is not big problem, however
- I do not want to use ProductName as iMac14,2 because this is not only cosmetic property
- I do not want to use modified version of AppleUSBXHCIPCI because I have to fix it after each update
- I do not want to connect bluetooth to another internal port (I have to disconnect one of the front pair of USB ports and connect bluetooth) because every time when I restart PC it makes sound, shows notification that one of the front USB not connected and ask press F1 to continue.
- I do not want to connect bluetooth to external port.

P.S. I'm going to connect iSight camera to the second internal USB port in the future.
