    ALC888B (ALC887) - Crackling\popping sounds on Catalina 10.15.2 when playing any sound

    In BIOS disable the built in serial port. It sounds weird but it fixed this exact issue on my Gigabyte Designaire 170 Motherboard running Catalina.

    Also I've replaced the GTX 1080 Ti with a Radeon Pro WX9100 for full macOS Support. Worth it to be running Mojave/Catalina.

    Beskone's GA-Z170X-Designaire - i7-6700K - GeForce 980ti Build (Skylake, iMac 17,1)

    I've recently removed the Windows partition and installed Catalina on the NVMe drive while converting my RAID to APFS and moving all my data and user folder to it. Updated Clover to 5101, removed old FW Audio kexts, updated to Lilu and Whatevergreen. Working excellent. Had to turn off Serial...

    macOS Catalina + USB DAC = sound breaks/gaps

    Can confirm on my Designaire Z170 Mobo turning off the serial port in BIOS stopped the USB playback glitches in Catalina on my Presounus c24 USB Audio interface!

    macOS 10.12.5 Update

    Autoupdated on my rig by accident! Woke up to disabled Nvidia graphics. Installed Lilu.kext IntelGraphicsFixup.kext installed new Nvidia drivers and Cuda, rebooted. All is well :)

    [Solved] El Capitan sleep/wake problems!

    Look at my profile I have a Nvidia 980ti. I think the problem lies more in I always have a FW device plugged in (TB3-TB2-FW-800-FW400) OR it's my USB 3 Drive I have attached. I think there is a power draw issue maybe. One of these days I'll disconnect the external devices and test.

    How to Fix iMessage

    You can try. Like I said I've done this 2x with generated values and following every step of the guide. Both time I got the customer code and Apple was unable to resolve on their end. I think it's a 17,1 issue personally. I'm going to try one last time, and if I can't get it to work oh well...

    How to Fix iMessage

    Same problem for me I have all the same details as you above. I've heard switching back to the iMac 14,7 system def helps. I don't know anyone that's using 17,1 and has working iMessage. :( I've already been through 2 different serial numbers, customer codes and calls to apple and they also are...

    Huh you don't have a SSDT to enable LPC so native power management / sleep should't be working that great for you. And you're not loosing FW connectivity on wake? and Built in Audio works? I'm so confused as your Clover config is super bare bones. For the LPC enabler Kext check Violet Dragons...

    If you're running the USB remove port limit patch you're running the risk of weird USB issues and data corruption. You should generate a SSDT that keeps you under the MacOS 15 port limit. It's a bit time consuming but not hard. One of the first things I did on my build. I used this. guide...

    Correct our 100 series boards do not have native NVRAM. We must use the emulated one (SMBIOS/ROM/MLB/SN# values won't be persistent without it either) Also I don't see you created a SSDT-USB.aml. You shouldn't be running with the port limit patch in place. It takes a little bit to do it right...

    [Success] BoomR's 360/VR Production Build > GA-Z170X-DESIGNARE - i7 6700K - NVIDIA GTX 970

    Ya I't not a big deal was just curious and I'd like to have a setup that's configured as close to 100% working as possible, even if I never actually use the sleep function. (I installed and enabled the built in audio even though I never use it for example) Even on my old iMac I had it set to...

    How did you get wake from sleep working? I'd like to know your settings. I have full native power management setup and working, but if the computer goes into deep sleep I can not wake it with keyboard or mouse input. If I hit the soft reset switch it will power back on and come out of sleep...
