Hi without the header cable it is the same thing :-( no difference . Tried to export IOreg again . ( attached )

Use IOReg v2

As per IOReg, the TB Device is working. However, the SSDT, is still not paired/activated. Is your concern about Focusrite?

Well both of them right now. As it is Mac OS won't see them in the first boot. I have reboot in order to MacOS see them both.

If I turn the TB boot support setting in BIOS they boot the first time BUT the Universal Audio throw an error ( -38 ).

So I just need/want them to boot the first time and get rid of the reboot thing every time I turn on the system.

Thanks

No PR files attached. Note that you need to use Hotplug SSDT for full functionality.

I am working on getting you the files, as I do, any idea if that would that affect what is shown on the Thunderbolt list?

Here is the data:



Details:
1. Thunderbolt Chip and Family: GC-Titan ridge
2. Thunderbolt Vendor/Manufacturer: Gigabyte
3. Thunderbolt Type (Onboard or AIC): Onboard
4. Thunderbolt AIC PCI Slot Location: Slot 4
5. THB_C header Availability: None in the motherboard of the Mac pro 5.1
6. TB BIOS Settings Availability: None to my knowledge
7. Motherboard Model: Mac Pro 5.1 Native board
8. CPU Model: 2 x 2.4 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
9. macOS version: Big Sur 11.2.3

not sure I understand how to pull the kext data all I get is:

beto@Albertos-Mac-Pro ~ % sudo kextcache -i/ kextcache -i/ Executing: /usr/bin/kmutil install --volume-root / --check-rebuild rebuilding local auxiliary collection kmutil done beto@Albertos-Mac-Pro ~ %

Adjust your BIOS Settings and create a Hotplug SSDT and you're set.
