I don’t have this problem (on a MacPro 4,1 flashed to 5,1) with Martin‘s 0.7.9 package and Monterey 12.3.1
Hi!
I got a question:
I change my MVMe startup disk, in finder, from BigSure to Monterey. But in the OC start up option menu the BigSure name still remains. Can I change this, some how? My startup disk is crypted with FileVault.
Best regards
/Doc

Thanks for the help everyone. Can someone point me to the article/page in which the instructions on how to get bluetooth enabled Mac 5,1 after installing 12.3.1? Appreciate your help.
I am not sure on the hardware specs of your cMP and specifically the BT/wifi card you currently have installed. Nevertheless, the following post and subsequent 3-4 post replies might offer some solutions/clarifications to your problem:
802.11ac, BT 4.0 and Continuity & Handoff are working on Mac Pro 2010 (Keep Updating)
based on your description, this appears to be a well documented issue affecting internal BT module on cMP running Monterey via OC. The internal BT module connects to a USB 1.1 connector on the backplane (the pic you posted above). My understanding is that Monterey deprecated USB 1.1. I think...

This package is amazing, thanks Martin @h9826790. It's probably time to have this as its own post on the forum, instead of buried on page 53, no?
Do we have to inject this 0.7.9 in the EFI USB Monterey Installer to install Monterey while booting on it ?
Thx

I've solved the problem! The crash was caused by the RX380 card drawing too much power from the single 6 pin mother board power connection to 8 pin graphics card connection! Replacing the single power connector with a dual 6 pin to single 8 pin connector and using BOTH mother board power outlets has solved the problem!

Im not getting HDMI audio on one of my dual core mac pro 5.1 builds which has an RX 590 Sapphire Nitro+.
Some times when I boot the machine I can use it and it works out fine, some other times it wont even appear as a selectable device.
Is there anything I can do to make the system deliver HDMI audio everytime?
Thanks in advance

HDMI / Displayport audio fix
thunder72fr made a post in the PULSE RX580 ROM study thread about that he can get HDMI audio working properly in Mojave with just Lilu.kext and AppleALC.kext installed. I further tested it on my own cMP and confirmed it can work. And the process is simpler than HDMIAudio.kext + AppleHDA.kext...

I did read that post as well, but almost at the end of the thread you did mention you dont need to use that method for catalina, and those kexts are already on your package.

So what am I missing? How do I get back my hdmi audio then?
I'm on cMP5,1(mid 2012) with legacy WiFi/BT, AMD Radeon RX580, and Monterey 12.2 using OC 0.8.0. I did the config.plust changes to VMM flag ON/UpdateSMBIOS OFF but I'm having trouble with Software Update not showing the upgrades for the macOS from 12.2.
In November 2021, using 0.7.5 I'd upgraded from 11.6.1 to 12.0.1 successfully and had Bootpicker on my Samsung monitor attached to HDMI#2. Subsequently, I updated to 12.2. Since then, with each OC release I've not been able to update my macOS and I've lost Bootpicker.
Any ideas welcome, cheers

Found the problem: the issue is having OC installed on a 1GB USB Thumbdrive formatted exFAT on the primary partition that was blessed (no EFI partition). Booting to OC and macOS 12 worked fine but I lost the BootPicker and the ability to do Software Update with the VMM flag ON and SMBIOS Off.
I reverted to installing OC on EFI partition of 4GB USB Thumb drive formatted GUID/HFS+ and got BootPicker and Software Update works again.
On my other cMP4,1->5,1(Early 2009) Radeon HD 7950 with upgraded WiFi/BT running macOS 12.1 and OC 0.8.0 with default config.plist. I have a single LG monitor connected and during boot I don't get BootPicker. On the HD 9750 I tried both outputs DVI and HDMI but no BootPicker at startup. Eventually I get the Apple logo progress screen and then Finder.
Any ideas welcome, cheers

Is anyone else having a stutter issue? When playing videos (even youtube) every ~5-10 seconds I'll experience a stutter.
Happens on both 0.7.9 & 0.8.0 package. 5700 XT GPU
Happens on both 0.7.9 & 0.8.0 package. 5700 XT GPU
Seems to happen everywhere.
Safari, Chrome, VLC (x264)
Monterey 12.3.1
Audio itself doesn't stutter at all it's just the video that does it.
Now that I look for it more even scrolling in browsers if I am constantly scrolling it'll have a stutter as well.
I just belatedly put 0.7.9 on in place of 0.7.5 - amazing, boot screen appears almost immediately after the bootup chime/gong, so fast now on my NVME. Excellent.
In terms of stuttering, none experienced - I watched Autogefuhl yesterday at 1440p resolution with no issue.
I'm on the dual 3.46 Mac Pro on 12.2 Beta (21D5025f) Monterey (no time to upgrade it yet after surgery in hospital).

Try Chrome -> settings -> additional settings -> system -> disable Hardware Acceleration.
Then check if that make any difference (inside Chrome).
Then it's not related to HWAccel.
If you have spare drive, then you can try if clean installation fix the issue.
If nil help, then may be other hardware issue (since 5700XT is widely used for a while now. So, I assume that's not macOS GPU driver issue if can't be fixed by clean macOS installation).
