Has anyone with an ASRock Fatal1ty Z370 Gaming-ITX/ac had any success getting TB recognized and working with an audio interface?

Cheers!

Were you able to make the ASRock Z370 Gaming-ITX/ac work with TB3?
 
My motherboard : Gigabyte Z370 Aorus Ultra Gaming 2.0 and Alpine Ridge v 1.0 firmware 2.0.


I use SSDT-Z370 -TB3HP or SSDT-TB3 aml.

Without THB_C cable connector :
  • hotlpug works on port 1 only
  • no sleep
  • no second port TB available (no detect devices at all)

With THB_C cable connector:
  • hot plug don’t work
  • sleep OK and TB devices still available after awake
  • no second port TB available (no detect devices )
Without any SSDT patches and connect THB_C cable:
  • hot plug don’t work
  • sleep OK
  • two TB ports are available
Of course all devices are connected before computer start.
Keep in mind that THB_C connector send/receive sleep/awake signal
from motherboard to Alpine Ridge. So without it no sleep anymore .

I use Bios F10 "
  1. Optimized for Intel® 9th Gen Core™ Processors" because
my CPU is intel i7-9700K .

Why my second TB port is unavailable with SSDT-TB patch ?

Yes a huge impovement after update BIOS to F11.
  1. Include support for GC-TITAN RIDGE
With Your latest SSDT -TB-HPG patch.


The most important - TWO TB ports works.

If THB_C cable is connected
  • sleep is OK and after awake TB devices still works
  • no Hotplug
If THB_C cable disconnected
  • Hotplug works very well on first and second TB port !
  • sleep is broken
All devices must be connected before computer switch on .

Bios F12B is incompatible with Mac OS. BIOS F3 exactly with
the same Thunderbolt menu as Yours dont works with i7-9700K.
So I think that it is last word about Thunderbolt and Z370 aorus ultra gaming v 2.0 .

Unfortunately, the F3 BIOS for the GB Z370 UG v2 does not support 9th gen processors, unlike the Z370 UG v1.
The latest version (F12b) is a beta, and does not work with MacOS.
I have already contacted Gigabyte... we hope for a new update!
For now I recommend you use the F11 and wait for a new BIOS version before doing new tests.
 
hello. anybody with z370 gigabyte aorus gaming 7 can enable hot swap mode in thunderbolt? I try but no luck.
Have F7 firmware and enable bios thunderbolt settings as at photo on first post, ioreg screenshot and modified ssdt aml in attach. May be I'm doing something wrong? Mac OS X 10.13.6

anybody can activate hot swap on z370 gaming 7 motherboard from gigabyte?
 
@LeleTuratti, I read first post and try to enable hot swap on my z370 gaming 7 with high Sierra, but nothing happens.

I wrote a big post about my trying to power up hot swap in another thread (post #1,674)

Link: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...l-p2715q-4k-60hz.252989/page-168#post-1916242

May be you can help me by reading this post, what I doing wrong or maybe what I need additional to do?
In this thread, a few pages back, we talked about the GB Z370 Gaming 7.
Try searching, because the problem has already been solved.
Moreover if with the inserted SSDT you do not see UPSB instead of PXSX and the respective DSB0, DSB1, DSB2, DSB3, DSB4 on your IOReg, it means that the SSDT has not been edited/loaded correctly and the Thunderbolt is not implemented.

I could for a few weeks on 10.14.2 -until the 10.14.3 update. It took me awhile to notice, because I always have to power-up the UAD Apollo 8 DAW interface before powering-up the PC.
