No audio or Bluetooth after Monterey upgrade

[Feartech]

What's the state of "USB Bluetooth dongle" support like these days? I do have a spare Broadcom m.2 card that macOS supports, but it would be nice to to have to take the machine apart if it can be avoided..
Thanks

I manually recreated my EFI / config.plist and audio is now back - using alcid=11 as boot-args (which worked under Big Sur too). My machine now boots fine but I have a strange, very long, delay during boot:

<< Solved >> - Long delay during boot (USB related?)

To try and resolve my issues with having no audio (https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/no-audio-or-bluetooth-after-monterey-upgrade.316571/) I decided to create an entirely fresh OC 0.7.4 EFI / config.plistby working through the OpenCore docs. This resolved my issue with audio, not Bluetooth but...

Thanks to everyone who responded here regarding my audio/Bluetooth issues.

UPDATE: Intel Bluetooth is now working again for me under Monterey thanks to the combination of the latest (v2.6.1) release of BlueToolFixup + IntelBluetoothFirmware

Have you tried the v2.6.1 (specifically) version of BlueToolFixup+the intelFirmware?

 

[robi62]

Yes I have with latest bluetooth intel version 2.0.1
What kext do you use??

 

[FormerUser-400995]

The BlueToolFixup.kext is in the BrcmPatchRAM release. Except, as steveharman said, you'll need v2.6.1. It wasn't at that link last time I looked, but it may be updated now.

Updated link for BcrmPatchRAM.zip v2.6.1 which contains the BlueToolFixup.kext.

that is for Broadcom based cards not intel...

@robi62 - Aha, well you asked what kext steveharman used. I believe that was the one.

As I understand it, you only need the BlueToolFixup.kext from the BrcmPatchRAM.zip file, plus the latest intel bluetooth 2.0.1. But to be sure, wait for others to confirm that. Cheers.

Iirc from the official Opencore docs covering Bluetooth, it's also vital to not have any other Intel injector kexts installed - so JUST the fixup kext and firmware kext.
Not sure if that's relevant for you?
