Hi guys,
Recently completed a wonderful build using this motherboard and a i7-8700k overclocked to 4.9 GHz. I managed to get literally everything to work and even created my own custom SSDT to patch 15 USB ports. I previously had issues where I was getting USB 2 speeds on the USB 3 ports using USBInjectAll.kext but after I created the SSDT-UIAC.aml patch, that was fixed too.
One problem that persists is that I cannot get the USB-c port on the back of the motherboard to work. When I connect a device, I get power (for example, an external USB-C hard drive will power up and the indicators begin flashing), but the device is not communicating with the motherboard (no mounting, and even disk utility does not recognize it's connected).
From what I understand the USBInjectAll/Custom SSDT fix applies for USB 2.0 and 3.0 via Intel Controller, but not via other devices. My USB-C port in my board is run via an ASMedia controller. I read in another forum that ASMedia USB-C ports should be natively recognized via MacOS, but this doesn't seem to be the case. Anyone else had a similar experience or have any thoughts on that?
In fact, under System Report, I don't even see a USB 3.1 BUS (see attached System Report).
I'm sharing my EFI partition here for reference, including my SSDT. My config is listed in my signature as well my profile. I'm hoping someone more knowledgeable can shed some light on this issue for me.
