    [?] Thunderbolt 3 (and UAD-2) on Gigabyte Z170X GA5

    Make a new post and be as detailed as possible while continuing to do your own research. It's tough being out with no support but that's what you sign up for with these builds. Good luck!

    [?] Thunderbolt 3 (and UAD-2) on Gigabyte Z170X GA5

    Read my above posts, I shared the settings I had which were different. Aside from changing those, I won't be more of more help. Good luck!

    [?] Thunderbolt 3 (and UAD-2) on Gigabyte Z170X GA5

    I wish I could be more helpful, but that's all I really have to offer, try changing the settings I mentioned above and report back.

    [?] Thunderbolt 3 (and UAD-2) on Gigabyte Z170X GA5

    I wonder, too if your BIOS is too old for that Alpine Ridge. My BIOS is F20 but I have a GAMING-5, not a UD5. There are plenty of guides around here to assist you in updating the firmware on your system. Again, I have no idea how any of this will treat your machine, take all of this with a...

    [?] Thunderbolt 3 (and UAD-2) on Gigabyte Z170X GA5

    In my Thunderbolt submenu I have different settings: Security Level: No Security Reserved Memory: 256 I also have "Skip PCI OptionRom" in my settings, which I don't see on yours, but that is Enabled. I wonder if "Ignore Thunderbolt OptionRom" on yours is the same thing? I have no idea, so...

    Were you ever able to get it working back in February?

    [?] Thunderbolt 3 (and UAD-2) on Gigabyte Z170X GA5

    I don't have Windows on my machine at all. I installed it to install the drivers for the Alpine Ridge add-on card, but I am not positive you have to do that. How was it behaving on your El Capitan setup? Can you boot from that off a backup? Are you sure you're following the steps on power...

    [SOLVED] This thread solved my issue. I'm up and running in both Sierra and a fresh High Sierra install. Cheers.

    I wanted to drop you a line and say THANK YOU for sharing all of this information, I've been in the dark over here in this thread and with your method I was able to get the reliably connected to my entire system detailed in the thread I linked. I restarted, repeated these steps, adding new...

    << Solved >> UAD Audio Interfaces + Alpine Ridge TB3

    I'm currently going through the process of creating a High Sierra environment to test in. Windows 10 appears to be communicating with all of my UAD devices. Does anyone have any insight here? I will continue documenting my progress in this thread either way.

    Do you have the same hardware as my setup? EDIT: This is a response to someone who has since deleted their comments.

    << Solved >> UAD Audio Interfaces + Alpine Ridge TB3

    I have the build in my profile which I built in July 2017, and have recently purchased an Alpine Ridge TB3 card running on a Gigabyte Z170x Gaming 5 to upgrade Thunderbolt 3 connectivity for various TB2 / USB 3.0 hubs and daisy-chained UAD audio interfaces (Apollo x8P TB3 / Apollo Twin Quad TB2...

    Will an after-market Thunderbolt PCIe card work with this build?

    I've done some preliminary research, but haven't quite found an answer to my question. I'm looking to connect a UAD-2 Satellite OCTO and/or UAD Arrow to my current build. The build in my signature is my current machine. Would it be possible to install a Thunderbolt 3 and/or Thunderbolt 2 PCIe...

    Bluetooth / Wireless Problem (Fenvi)

    I decided to return the card and go with this USB dongle, it worked immediately out of the box, but may have been a result of using Multibeast to inject all USB ports. Never did get the WIFI to work on the Bluetooth / WIFI Fenvi card, but am using the WIFI only version of the Fenvi card with no...

    Bluetooth / Wireless Problem (Fenvi)

    What settings did you adjust in Clover / Multibeast to get Bluetooth capabilities? EDIT: Not sure what changed, but now Bluetooth is working just fine. I might end up going a different route, I'll post back if I figure out what changed.
