[SUCCESS] Gigabyte Designare Z390 (Thunderbolt 3) + i7-9700K + AMD RX 580

Hi @CaseySJ !
I opened VT-d in the BIOS and deleted the memory area of the DMAR table according to your guide. After entering the system, I saw that "AppleVTD" has been successfully loaded.

Since upgrading Big Sur, the network card (BCM57762) of my Thunderbolt 3 docking station has been unavailable. After turning on "AppleVTD", it successfully works normally and supports AVB.

Ethernet and WiFi are still normal, but unfortunately the sound card doesn’t work anymore. Turn off vt-d in the BIOS and it works normally."AppleHDAController.kext" shows that it has been loaded, but "AppleHDA.kext" has not been loaded, and the layout-id has been successfully injected in ioreg.

Please send to me your original DMAR and tell me what SMBIOS you use.

Is this white noise heard with Phantom power turned on or off?

Like I’ve said in one of my precedent post, I suffered from this, same as @WilliamBrantree. The cure was to interrupt ground path between audio interface and amp/powered monitors.

I think William solved it with a 3 to 2 prongs adapter. In my case, I opted for boxes with transformer isolation and ground lift circuit (in the audio path).

I don’t think, but I could be wrong, that it has something to do with phantom power.

Hi people, Hi @CaseySJ I am in a strange situation after a system restore, upgraded to a better m.2 all my USB ports seems to be slow/unusable and I'm trying to fix this issue since a week without luck maybe someone of you can point me into the right direction. In this scenario my usb stick is...

Hello @Daranski,

If SmashEnabler.kext is compatible with Big Sur, you could try one of these two options:

Option 1: Install into /Library/Extensions

• At the OpenCore Picker, press space bar to reveal extra options. One of them will be Toggle SIP. You can simply select that option.
• Then select your macOS boot disk and boot Big Sur.
• This takes care of items 2, 3, 4, 5 in your original list.
• Now perform Step 6 and boot back into Big Sur without changing SIP.
• Check if your GameCube controller is working.
• If it is, you can toggle SIP back by following the first bullet directly above.

Option 2: Install into OpenCore

• Alternatively, you can try installing SmashEnabler into your OpenCore EFI.
• Copy the file to your OpenCore OC/Kexts folder in the EFI partition.
• Add it to the Kernel --> Add section by running OpenCore Configurator.

Thanks. Got it working but not when SIP is enabled.

Will try option 2. When adding the kext in Kernel do I use ProperTree or is their a manual way to do it within OC configurator? There is no executible file in the kext package just an info.plist

Try this. If doesn't work, I'll try another.

Try this. If doesn't work, I'll try another.

Thank you very much for your help. After the replacement, there is still no change. I found that there is such a thing in the PCI device. It doesn't seem to be loaded.Does it have an impact on this? In addition, I found that the GPU audio device is not loaded, this is my IOReg and DSDT.

 

[CaseySJ]

Did all of the above, no change.

Comments/questions:

• There are two Thunderbolt SSDTs in the ACPI/Patched folder (V3 and V4). Only one should be present.
• Does Thunderbolt appear in IOReg?
• In Clover config.plist, is Inject Kexts enabled or disabled?

Hello @Mace,

Are you injecting any device properties into either (a) your GPU or (b) your on-board sound controller?

 

[CaseySJ]

same issue with the standard BIOS. With the modified BIOS, ThunderboltConfig does not appear in ioreg for RP05 NHI0...

Let's have a look at your two Thunderbolt SSDTs. I'd like to check both ThunderboltDROM and ThunderboltConfig.

Use OpenCore Configurator as shown:

However, if the kext is loading and working with SIP disabled, then injecting the kext via OpenCore will not change things! It may be best to leave it in /Library/Extensions for the time being.
