Using a Presonus Quantum Thunderbolt 2 Audio Interface...HELP

This time I found a different error in console.app
Code: 
error    19:48:40.251684 -0700    tccd    Prompting policy for hardened runtime; service: kTCCServiceAppleEvents requires entitlement com.apple.security.automation.apple-events but it is missing for ACC:{ID: com.presonus.ucapp, PID[542], auid: 501, euid: 501, binary path: '/Applications/UniversalControl.app/Contents/MacOS/ucapp'}, REQ:{ID: com.apple.appleeventsd, PID[49], auid: 55, euid: 55, binary path: '/System/Library/CoreServices/appleeventsd'}

Of course, I never got any request to allow any kind of security exception during the initial install which is weird, and get nothing in security about permissions/entitlements/whatever.

I also found these other things when searching for keyword "presonus":

Going back through the forum I saw people installed OSXAptiofix3Drv to their EFI so I got that in there and am restarting...
 
I realized my config.plist had a line it didn't need and wasn't synced also.

Now Console.app shows no errors related to presonus. but when I go to kextviewr it's not going good (and of course no connection)

Code: 
quantum_driver
/Library/Extensions/quantum_driver.kext/Contents/MacOS/quantum_driver

As I might have mentioned, with the modified kext the interface power button doesn't even flash blue on startup.

Nothing shows up in kextstat also.

Click to expand...
Are you using the latest driver from Oct 22, 2019 "Universal Control v3.1.1.54569"?

Is the quantum_driver.kext in /System/Library/Extensions or /Library/Extensions? I think the default location is /Library/Extensions. If both exist, delete the one in /System/Library/Extensions.

Install the driver normally. Check that only one copy of it exists in /Library/Extensions.

The following will download the latest driver, extract the files to a new presonus folder in your home folder, modify the quantum_driver.kext, install it, load it, and rebuild the kext cache. You can copy this into a BBEdit worksheet file, select all, press enter to execute the selection. Or use Terminal.app.

Code: 
[ -d ~/presonus ] || mkdir ~/presonus
cd ~/presonus
curl -s 'https://pae-web.presonusmusic.com/downloads/products/dmg/Universal_Control_3_1_1_54569.dmg' > Universal_Control_3_1_1_54569.dmg
hdiutil attach Universal_Control_3_1_1_54569.dmg

Yeah, latest version. It's been going to just library/extensions. I'll let you know. And you're sure it should be Vt-d enabled and not disabled?

I'll work on this momentarily.

Side note, I'm thinking I'll have to go back to Audiogod or Glasgood over at insanelymacforums to see if they have an improved ssdt or kexts for thunderbolt and whatnot. (Glasgood did the original install guide for this system and audiogod made a better efi in his absence, but now glasgood is back)
 
Wow, that code you posted did the trick! AMAZING!!!!!

I didn't even have to restart. BTW I have Vt-d disabled.
 
So if future driver versions don't work do you think we can just modify this code with the latest installer and it should work hopefully? I can't believe you got this to work. Pinch me.
 
I just gave the code to Presonus support staff
