I am using the OPENCORE version { latest } and I am getting really choppy audio when connecting to a USB dac. Is this because of some USB issues? What DAC is it buddy and what usb type is it using?

Ok a couple of questions to build up a picture in my head, are you connecting to the Usb2 hub on the motherboard or using one of the usb3 ports thats Usb2 as well? did you make your own usb.kext or are you using mine and is this using NDKs fork of OpenCore or original OC? with clover what do you mean when you say hardware acceleration breaks exactly? Are you referring to it falling to allocate memory (a stop sign at boot up)?

No issues on the NDK version of Opencore audio works perfectly fine. BTW. I have used the NAVI version of your EFI file - I have upgraded from 580 to 5700xt and did not update the signature yet - doing it now.

Ah ok yes sorry use the Navi Efi in that case. right I know what’s wrong and it’s my fault...lol ops i need to correct one of the USBX.SSDT, I’m using a Native instruments DAC and it’s working perfect on the OC EFI but I just plugged in a prism Dac and I’ve got the choppy choppy attacking my hack too. Good spot my friend thank you I shall fix the SSDT but for now just use the NDK fork as it’s still OC just using a dsdt and with a graphical interface. if you want to do one more test to totally confirm it then I can send you my latest OC EFI and just tell me if the problem is still there (it should be)? 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/340936-audiogods-aorus-z390-master-patched-dsdt-efi-for-catalina-mini-guide-and-discussion/page/25/#findComment-2712983 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can also see that the system is a bit slower now. System performance should not be affected as the ssdt is only describing how to supply power to usb. I've tried on my NI audio 6, My Prism and a Steinberg DAC over here and all three are working perfectly for me now. ive loading a complex project into logic and I'm pressing play over and over to try and make it trip up and its not doing it anymore and there's no stutter and zero cackling on long play back via all three dacs.

AudioGod Posted March 20, 2020 Author Share Posted March 20, 2020 Sorry bro just to add, if you were referring to the boot time being slower on OC then that’s correct and not a performance thing but the z390 masters onboard serial port trying to connect in macOS and it stalls the system slightly at boot up but it’s not a problem and we can fix that too with a bios update to the motherboard so for now just don’t worry about it as it has no effect on the system.

Your EFI does not see my DAC at all. Then i moved the USB to one of the top ports - still choppy. The whole computer slowed down - not the booting - the system after you have logged in.
