Hi @GeeztownProductions
I'm wondering if UAD drivers require some sort of "local node" or "bus driver" for power-on-off-on-off (UAD hot swap) as is written about for another device here. We know that the power swap, and power on UAD after boot on a real Mac works, so I'm wondering if that's it. GC-Alpine Ridge with an SSDT over here.
I really have no idea. I don't know much about how Thunderbolt works. I know that with my first build on my Z87-UD5 TH had Thunderbolt 1 which was new at the time. And it was a bit of a headache getting that to work. The fix was to install the drivers in Windows first and then it would work in macOS as strange as that sounds. Maybe it was updating firmware or turning some kind of switch on, I don't know.
My understanding was that there was no way to hot swap. You just had to boot with it plugged in. So now that I'm doing this new build and hearing of people getting hot swap working, this is all new to me. Great if there is a way to do it though, I'll take it. For me personally, hot swap isn't worth the trouble, I'm just glad it works at all. Sorry I can't be of more help. Good luck though!
