The following is based on my Asus X79 Rampage IV Extreme and Rampage IV Black Edition.
Background

OS X 10.11 El Capitan has brought some serious incompatibility issues to some motherboards like my X79 Asus Rampage IV Black Edition and many others.
First let me give credit to Stinga11, pokenguyen, RehabMan and all the others who have spent time mapping out this problem. Also to PikeRAlpha...
USB drives Not Ejected Properly on wake from sleep. [Yet another solution]
I wrote a applescript app to install sleepwatcher and eject + mount scripts that affect only USB and USB 3 drives. I did this because I don't like that Jettison.app messes with SATA drives too. I have my hot swap bays...
Here is a workaround app I made for you to use until the real problem gets solved by someone smarter than me. It's a applescript app that unloads and reloads the AppleHDA.kext via shell script.

SafeSleeper
I wrote this app a while back. Feel free to download and use it as a work around for USB drives that get force ejected at sleep. SafeSleeper will properly eject all USB drives and put the computer to sleep. It will detect and warn you if a network connection like File Sharing is...

Update Feb 18, 2016

Requirements:

(you do NOT have MSR register 0xE2 bit...

Asus Rampage IV Extreme - DSDT Guide: Extract & Edit your own DSDT

Nvidia Fermi >2GB OpenCL patch didn't work for me I had to perform the hex edit myself using the instructions from the netkas forum to get it to work. I suspect that Multibeast is not changing the OpenCL framework file's permission from read only in order to save the changes.
Thanks,

"Interim Ivy Bridge ALC898" still works great but Multibeast's ALC898 doesn't work on my Asus X79 R4E. It didn't work in 4.6.1 either. Using DSDT with the HDEF edit outlined by Toleda.
Thanks
