[SUCCESS] Gigabyte Designare Z390 (Thunderbolt 3) + i7-9700K + AMD RX 580

[macs4me]

@CaseySJ I want to do a final report back on the Bluetooth/WiFi situation you have been helping me with. After exhausting all options, I finally put back in the OSXWiFi card (for reference: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08428ZJV9/?tag=tonymacx86com-20) and everything instantly worked again. I also want to note that I have this antenna attached to the middle two posts: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07JVDNDCR/?tag=tonymacx86com-20 and it works perfectly. I ran the Gigabyte antenna on the outer two posts as well and after running speed tests, I am slightly faster than my MacBook sitting right next to this machine. Thanks again for all your help in testing.

Has anyone tried to add the boot-chime with OpenCore?
What about themes? Can I simply replace the icons?

Adding boot chime is fairly easy just make sure u got the chime in your audio folder in your EFI, and, yes, you can change your icons as long as the new ones meets the dimensions.Check this link if you want some prebuilt icons https://github.com/blackosx/OpenCanopyIcons

Good to know that led8 is the right one, which means we can continue to use the standard version of the RGB Fusion driver.

Regarding the ACPI-BIOS-Error reported by Windows, this can be fixed by encapsulating all SSDTs within this block:

if (_OSI (“Darwin”))
{
   // do Mac stuff
}

Are you using Clover or OpenCore? If you provide a screenshot of your ACPI folder, I can make the changes.

Hi Casey,

Im using OpenCore 0.6.0. As soon as I get home from work I’ll send the screenshot through to you. again thank you for all your help.

** Micro-Guide: Enabling Boot Chime in OpenCore **
Please do not quote this guide in its entirety. Post a link instead.​

Boot chime can be enabled for the on-board Realtek ALC-1220 as follows using OpenCore Configurator:

• Make the changes shown in the UEFI --> Audio section.
  • AudioDevice can be selected from the pop-up icon on the right edge of the field. The device shown here is the on-board HDEF device.
  • Also set MinimumVolume and VolumeAmplifier as shown.
  • Enable the checkboxes for both AudioSupport and PlayChime.
  • AudioOut value of 0 pertains to on-board RCA output (green jack) on rear IO panel. Different output port will require a different value.
• WARNING: If using headphones, remove them from your ears and hold them at a short distance to test volume level. Do not blast your ears. If the volume is too high, change MinimumVolume to 40 and VolumeAmplifier to 120.

• Also add AudioDxe.efi to the Drivers section as shown. This EFI is already in the OC/Drivers folder.

REPEAT WARNING: If using headphones, take them OFF when booting to check volume level. If volume level is too high, change MinimumVolume to 40 and VolumeAmplifier to 120 as shown:

Hi - No - thats a later flash?......worth a try - you dont think this is ssdt related?

At this time I don't suspect the SSDT, but if you post your DSDT.aml I can take a look at both the Thunderbolt SSDT and the System DSDT. The System DSDT is available from MaciASL --> File --> New from ACPI --> DSDT.

I don't suppose there is any way to make the built in speakers of an LG UltraFine 5K work with this, is there? I'm assuming no since they're detected as USB and go over Thunderbolt, not the Realtek onboard audio. OpenCore Configurator doesn't detect any other audio devices.

Curious if it's possible to get the chime to play out of HDMI (from a discreet GPU)?

Hello again Casey,

I have managed to get my partner to take the screenshots for me. I have added 2 additional screenshots just in case you needed them too.
