I would like to know how to revert to the previous UAD firmware. I kept Above 4G Encoding enabled. Since I've tried all the steps that got the Apollo working such as:
-Uninstalling all UAD software (and removing UAD items in user/Library/Caches/)
-Reset NVRAM
-
Boot with device off, on, and unplugging PC for 5 mins and pressing power button.
One thing I remembered was that when I first unplugged PC (right before I booted and it worked the first time, when applying my modified SSDT) was that my MSI lights rent red (i set them to blue in windows a while ago) then went back to blue the second reboot (after third reboot Apollo stopped being detected). Red is the default state and has heppened before during a power outage.
What's off is how the Apollo actually worked for me at some point. I haven't given up yet. Or else it wouldn't have ever worked. However I've heard CaseySJ mention that B550 boards aren't that stable with Apollo. Has any updates to B550 Gigabyte motherboard increased UAD stability? I want to at least keep using my Ryzen CPU. That's why I'd like to know of any board (maybe Asrock Phantom or Taichi) that work the best with UAD TB products.
Thank you for the troubleshooting.
edit: On the first reboot: Apollo was plugged in, but not recognized in PCI System info. "pci1a00,2" appeared under titan ridge (first screenshot) then when I (either) rebooted second time, or turned on interface, the Apollo MKii appeared. Now there's no pci1a00,2 or Apollo in PCI after unplugging PC for an hour because of a storm.
edit 2: I borrowed a MacBook and downgraded firmware using UAD 9.02. Everything worked on the 2017 MacBook. When I tried with the hackintosh the same issue persists. I wish I knew what exact firmware it shipped with because I know that one worked.
I’m going to try UAD 9.8 tomorrow for Mojave support
