Just a heads up...

This week, I noticed that my hack didn't go to sleep at night and I wondered why...

I always kept one Safari window open on Yahoo Finance. On previous version of macOS, this was not a problem, but, on Monterey, it's preventing sleep...

As you can see below, AppleHDAEngineOutput is preventing sleep:

The culprits are the embedded videos on the page:

As far as I can tell, this is not a "bug". It's working as intended. It's just a change of behavior compared to older versions of macOS.

Did you fix this with this update 3? I'm having the same problem when I switch my logitech k380 keyboard to other device. When I try to reconnect to macOS it doesn't connect right away, it takes a while.

I just found an issue with Monterey... After wake from sleep, my Magic Mouse 2 and Magic Trackpad are not working.

I'll continue to investigate.

Update:
The Bluetooth devices seem to eventually reconnect on its own but it took a very long time.

Update 2:
Disabling and re-enabling Bluetooth works.

Update 3:
Figured it out. It turns out the fix to make the system wake with just one mouse click was the cause of the problem. Disable SSDT-USBW.aml and USBWakeFixup.kext.

Update 3 has the fix.

We lose the ability to wake the system with a single mouse click but Bluetooth is 100% fixed.

Another noob question

It's happened before when I try to reset nvram through opencore menu/picker the system restarts and doesn't find the disks anymore. I've had to do two reinstalls because, even replacing the EFI and boot on the correct disk, I can't boot on mac anymore.

Which version of BIOS are you on?

After resetting NVRAM, I go in to BIOS to set the drive with OpenCore to be first in boot order.

I'm with Bios ver. F9l (see picture)

in case I haven't been clear,

What I meant is that after resetting nvram and after choosing the disk where opencore is, the Mac disk no longer appears, only the reset nvram icon on opencore picker. It looks like something is erased from the disk, and when I restore a backup of the EFI folder, the icons appear, but the macos loading stucks at the beginning.


thanks again

What version of macOS is on the drive? You may need to set:

config.plist > UEFI > APFS > MinDate = -1
config.plist > UEFI > APFS > MinVersion = -1
