I'm having a strange quirk with my Fenvi T919 WiFi/BT card where every time I use heavy upload bandwidth on my wifi, it causes major dropouts on my bluetooth devices. Heavy download bandwidth has no effect though, so weird!

Just an observation to add to the reported quirks with the Fenvi, maybe someone else has experienced similar.

Do you have any USB 3.0 hard drives nearby?

Tentatively, I think this may be it. I had 2 hubs plugged in and even though I had less than 15 devices connected it seems the hubs were registering 18 ports. Testing it to see if it behaves normally now. Is the port limit higher in opencore?

Spoke too soon. Still getting the same issue. Prophet Rev 2 kills the whole USB bus after being attached for a couple minutes. Doesn't matter what port it's on or what else is connected. It kicks everything connected via the USB ports off (but not USB devices on Thunderbolt ports) and I have to reboot for the USB ports to start working again

Yes, on my setup, Intel WiFi and Bluetooth are working for macOS 10.15.7 and Windows 10.

hey, want to ask is Intel WiFi and BT working as natively? I mean you can simply select to connect to WiFi or Bluetooth from menu bar?

I stand corrected... WiFi is now not working. It did work when I did first setup... I remember logging into my wifi network from the account setup when doing the OS install. At that time all was working. Once I connected the Ethernet cable, I do recall turning off wifi completely from the menu bar as I always hardwired this computer. The WiFi has been grayed since. I never tried turning it back on until now, and it won't turn on.

I just tried turning Bluetooth on and off, and it works as expected.

In checking all this stuff I also realized I have not been using the i225v Ethernet but it is recognized and working. I tried it again the other day and now I know why I don't use it... it turns on and off and is recognized but there are constant dropouts using it. The i219 Ethernet is more reliable for me.

Have you tried connecting the Prophet Rev 2 to one of the Thunderbolt USB-C ports?

It looks like there may be more of a performance issue with disk storage than the Samsung 970. I am a heavy user of Adobe Lightroom Classic. I have not had a problem with it all through the Monterey betas until 12.01. Suddenly, using Lightroom would slow all disk access and bring the operating system to a slow crawl. I uninstalled Lightroom and reinstalled it and built a new catalog. On trying to import the photos (2.5 GB) the import brought the system to a slow crawl. I tested all my disks and even the Sabrent NVME PCIE 4.0 was running at about 500 MB/s. Forced quit Lightroom and everything returned to normal. My photography disk is an external OWC TB3 enclosure in RAID 5 configuration using Softraid 6.2 which is compatible with Monterey. That disk is backed up to an 8 TB hard drive in another external TB2 enclosure connected with Apple TB3 to TB2 adapter. I decided to target the backup drive by building a new catalog from the backup. The problem is gone. This, of course, begs several questions.

Is a software RAID configuration incompatible with Monterey 12.01 or OC 0.75? (There are no issues listed with Monterey 12.01 and SOFTRAID that I could find on-line.)
Is the OWC RAID enclosure incompatible with Monterey 12.01 or OC 0.75?
Is there a problem with OC 0.75. I am not sure whether Monterey 12.01 is the culprit or OC 0.75 is since I first noticed the problem when my system was running both.
Is there a problem with the latest version of Adobe Lightroom Classic? (No issues come up with Lightroom Classic and Monterey from my online research.)
If I boot into my BIG SUR drive there are no problems.
Is there an unknown issue between Monterey 12.01 and OC 0.75?

I will continue to research the issue and will post if I find anything. If any of you have these issues, have you come up with a solution?

Try checking your RAM usage when that happens, and see if there is swap files being written to disk? Maybe it’s a memory leak?

Yes, I was able to get my Gigabyte Radeon RX 6600 XT Eagle 8GB working on 12.1 beta. Using CaseySJ's oc 0.7.5 for z490 vision G (changed for smbios iMacPro1,1). I have to use "agdpmod=pikera" boot-arg. The boot hangs at times, but I think that has to do with third party kexts installed on my system. I can take a picture of where it hangs if that’s helpful, just let me know.

Another question: did sleep and wake work well on 12.1 beta after adding rx 6600 xt ?
Thank you.

Yes, in fact when the import did not complete and a message came up that there was not enough memory for the application.. I have 64 gig of RAM. At that point I could not open the activity monitor.

I just tried an import from the raid drive under Big Sur with no problem. I even opened a Protools project with 48 channels and numerous plug-ins and the machine did not blink. Again under Big Sur with OC 0.75. Definitely related to Monterey 12.01.

No idea. I was an idiot and installed the 6600 xt on 12.0.1 before updating to 12.1 beta. I just decided to update without switching out cards again since it booted up ok, it just wasn't recognized.

Once 12.1 beta was installed, I left the system running overnight, and by this morning it wouldn't wake, I had to do a cold reboot. To be honest I was more concerned with the hangups at boot, getting audio working, remapping the usb, etc, so didn't pay too much attention to sleep/wake. I'm also still tweaking my overclock, so I kind expect sleep/wake to not work as expected. I can check tomorrow when Im back in studio. Good news is I spent most of the day working in photoshop and capture one without issue- the driver seems solid and snappy, not once did the computer hang up on me while I worked on files.

Issues that I have experienced:

No audio. Audio fixed from changing out device id/model in device properties for PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x1F,0x3) to layout id as 28, model as Realtek ALC1220-VB. (found in EFI Posted by 5T33Z0 on Github). My speakers are connected through the rear audio out jack
hangups at boot if I do not clear NVRAM twice. Must be twice, not once. If I do clear NVRAM twice, it'll hang at same spot for a few seconds, then open to login screen. Very odd. It seems like maybe a few things: third party kexts not loading correctly, a usb mapping issue, and I thought maybe something to do with securebootmodel??? The kexts in question are from SoftRAID 6.2, an issue that @lightmanrt seems to be dealing with as well. I've installed/reinstalled the software and drivers a few times because it doesn't let me add my software key. I now think it has to do with being on 12.1 beta and not yet having full support. The drivers work fine, I can access my raids, so I'm not terribly concerned. I've attached phone pics of both circumstances. The first image is where it hangs indefinitely, and the second image with the multiple <private> is right before successfully booting up into the OS.
My OWC RAID 5 was spinning up pretty irregularly, almost like it was being reindexed by spotlight at random moments. Once I remapped my USB port configuration, replaced the SSDT-UIAC and added SSDT-EC-USBX.aml, it started behaving more normal.

I am by NO MEANS good at this hacking thing, even though I absolutely love it/been doing it for years. I'm sure I'm doing plenty wrong here, so please take my experience/advice with a grain of salt. (and advice is always welcome)

@lightmanrt @haurb900

I also use SoftRaid with two 4-bay external SATA-to-USB enclosures. Will check for any issues with Monterey 12.1 soon. In the meantime, some notes:

Sabrent Rocket 4.0 can be problematic under heavy load as stated here.
The OC 0.7.5 EFI is using HfsPlus.efi from Monterey, as also disclosed in the OC 0.7.5 mini-guide. We can always replace it with the same file from OC 0.7.4 EFI folder to see whether it makes any difference during boot.
