I fixed that noise by using this between the focusrite and the monitors: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BARTW42/?tag=tonymacx86com-20 Apparently the hum is caused by a ground loop. Weird that you don't have the problem on Win 10 though... perhaps you have the interface set up differently...

Mods just moved this to the music forum and I've now learned more by browsing this section... I see this card listed on the "confirmed audio interfaces" thread so I know it should theoretically work, but I'd still love to get some specific advice/testimonials before I spend the $950...

For intense audio work (I'm a music producer), one must install a PCIe sound card that sends data over ADAT (optical). Today's inexpensive USB and firewire audio interfaces will only take you so far before latency issues become prohibitive. I would LOVE to use this card...

Have you tried doing this? https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-creating-a-custom-ssdt-for-usbinjectall-kext.211311/ https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/10-11-0-10-11-3-skylake-starter-guide.179221/#post1153870 I'm having the same problem with my 18i18. I haven't yet had the energy or...

I actually can't figure out how to remove the port limit patch. Could you hook me up with some information on how that process works? The internal headers are for extra USB ports on the case and whatnot, right? I'm not using any of those.

I appreciate your help and encouragement! I found this guy who has a SSDT already made for my motherboard (see the appendix at the end of post 1): https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/10-11-0-10-11-3-skylake-starter-guide.179221/#post1153870 So, according to his post it seems that I just need to...

Failing at that, I'm also considering a downgrade to Yosemite. Based on what I've read in your guide, RehabMan, I'm predicting that my USB reliability and speed problems may go away if I downgrade. My primary issue is with the speed of my USB Audio Interface (my audio is cracking and popping...

I notice that Focusrite Scarlett 18i6 and 18i20 are on the confirmed list but the 18i8 is not. Do you think that's significant, or should my 18i8 work just fine? I get pops and skips even at 15% CPU usage. It looks like there aren't many pro level interfaces confirmed... I don't see anything...

Wow - thanks. That looks like an intense project for a newbie, though. Are you sure there aren't premade patches for common hackintosh motherboards like mine? Or maybe someone with an ASUS z170i Pro Gaming can point out a shortcut? If all else fails I can follow this guide but it's a bit of a...

I'm having lots of issues with USB devices (MIDI instruments and audio interfaces). Some devices work in my 2.0 ports but not the 3.0 ports. Others don't work at all. Others work sporadically... but I can't rely on this machine at all as it is. At first I thought it was just an issue with USB...

Thanks BreBo. I added that patch as you suggested. My display seems stable now, so thanks. It's unfortunate that the USB issues aren't related - I was hoping it was all part of the same root problem. At least my display works now!

You're the best, BreBo. Here's my IOReg file. I'm also having a problem with USB hubs. My usb 2.0 and 3.0 ports work when I plug individual things into them but my 3.0 hubs (Anker and HooToo) don't light up when plugged in to any port. Is that related to this IMEI patch issue or is it something...

Thanks BreBo - I installed r4077. EDIT: I'm still getting a black screen whenever I unplug the monitor and plug it back in and whenever the machine puts the display to sleep and attempts to wake it. I'm aware that the sleep/wake thing is an issue with HD530 but I can't seem to find any...

Thanks - my machine just restarted randomly and here's the apple error report: Anonymous UUID: 7138951B-79A5-2A2E-A0C6-4EE464ACF42C Mon May 29 09:36:27 2017 *** Panic Report *** Machine-check capabilities: 0x0000000000000c0a family: 6 model: 94 stepping: 3 microcode: 132 signature...

Thanks!!! I'm running 10.12.4 Do you think running the 10.12.5 update will help me or will that just cause more problems? Edit: the multibeast driver you recommended worked. thanks!
