Hi,
I am using the following part to handle Bluetooth and Wifi in my Hackintosh:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B012LOT512/?tag=tonymacx86com-20

I'd read this was a good choice for CustoMac Pro's because it works out of the box without configurations, especially with the Gigabyte motherboard. I have it in the build currently and the Wifi has worked perfectly out of the box, but the Bluetooth has not. At first I thought it might be the USB port of the motherboard, but I've tested the ports with other USB connections and they worked fine. I then assumed it was just a bad part, but after swapping the part the issue still persists : no bluetooth capable hardware is detected on my machine.

(I am on the latest version of Mac OSX Sierra)

Has anyone experienced something similar with this dongle? Additionally, is there a recommended bluetooth / wifi dongle that works out of the box apart from this one? Thanks so much

Was actually able to fix this by changing the orientation of the USB connector. I'd previously been following the included instruction manual but flipped the orientation of what the manual suggested on the USB motherboard connection and it immediately worked!
