Is anyone having problems with audio after upgrading to 10.14.4? I’ve been reading some people are having problems with audio and so I’m hesitant to upgrade from .3 on my NUC8 (i3).

@Leesureone you find my config.plist in the attachment .

Thanks, I wish I was more knowledgeable about all things config.plist, for sure it's not the version Rehabman has in his guide but that's just a preference if everything works. I do see some entries that could be causing the problem but it'd take awhile for me to sort through everything and then test to make sure the changes didn't brake something else. Short answer is try the config.plist attached and see what's up. Hopefully it gets you wired internet!

@Leesureone , thanks for your effort unfortunately wired LAN is still not working , the first thing that i will do is put an other disk in the Nuc and install Windows on it to test the Hardware with that to be 100 pct sure that the wired LAN is actually working correct ( have to exclude that possibility even if i do not think it is broken ) .. when i tested that i even might consider a complete new install ..

will keep you posted !

Good idea to check the hardware in windows! I bet it will work and maybe reinstalling and paying close attention to the steps in the guide will get you there. A slightly simplified version of the guide for NUC8 models is shown below. Once you complete the download all the applicable files will be saved on your hard drive. Some folks have reported using UniBeast to create the installer and load OSX although I used create media method and followed the guide below.

Ok... finally managed to figure out how to upgrade from BIOS 0056 to BIOS 0066 on my NUC8i5BEH!

Before updating the BIOS, edit the Clover config.plist in the EFI Folder and add the following lines to the ACPI -> DSDT -> Patches section:

                <dict>
                    <key>Comment</key>
                    <string>Fix NUC BIOS DSDT Device(RTC)</string>
                    <key>Disabled</key>
                    <false/>
                    <key>Find</key>
                    <data>oAqTU1RBUwE=</data>
                    <key>Replace</key>
                    <data>oAqRCv8L//8=</data>
                </dict>

This is based on a fix I saw on another forum for a different ASRock motherboard that had a similar issue. Be careful before updating as this has only been tested on my own NUC. Make sure you keep a copy of BIOS0056 beforehand (it's posted on one of the threads here) so that you can revert back to the earlier version if this does not work.

Good luck and, if you decide to try, please post if you have success.

Update: screenshot from Clover Configurator showing patch attached for reference

Worked for me! Everything works as before with the new bios version 66! Very cool! Something about adjusting the RTC (Real Time Clock)? at least that is what RTC usually references.

Has anyone solved the hdmi static noise flash when the computer wakes up with USB devices plugged in? That is my main issue with this build at this point.
