That worked. Top. But it remains strange that the Volume Control does not work when you re-install ALL patches, but ONLY if you re-install just the Volume Control Patch.... Thx anyway.
Is it okay to only have the patcher or do i also need the downloaded os installer?
Didnt work for me on mbp5.4
Had to install from patcher.
Found out today that the "legacy audio patch" either screws up the old S/PDIF digital I/O for sound or it is not patched correctly. The result is that even on machines that had this interface selectable under High Sierra the option for input/output is not available any more (and in system info it does not show any more). Only the mostly-used analog line-in/out is present. Is this reproducible on other machines as well (I tested it on MBP 4,1 / MPB 7,1) ?
Perhaps @dosdude1 has more info and insight why the old kext implant does not work fully? Some dependency might be missing.

I've already noticed that.
Unfortunately the audio is not fully functional.
I have a game: Age of Empires 3, It works perfectly in both High Sierra and Mojave, but the audio in Mojave is broken only in this game.
I noticed that things are missing in the audio kexts, so it does not work properly. I do not know how to solve this.
If you download the installer from dosdude1.com, then you are sure it is the complete (standalone) installer, and that works well with the patcher.
Could someone with a working Mojave setup on Mac Pro 3,1 (or unmodified MP 4,1 and patched installer) please verify if TOSLink digital in/out for audio is working or at least shown in system info / audio section? I´d like to rule out different behaviour between miniTOSLink (i.e. on MacBooks) and TOSLink (on Mac Pro). Should only be connector type that´s different, not the audio path and kexts involved, but I´d like to be sure...
Thanks!

Thanks, @LuisN!
Clears one bit up, leaves more questions... I assume that you installed the legacy audio patch?

Yes, all default patches for Mac Pro 3,1
[doublepost=1542221518][/doublepost]@Larsvonhier , FYI my macbook 5,2 doesn't show any digital in/out nor light in the audio port
Alas, all that you are going to get from the 5,2 without replacing the touchpad with one from a later model, is the functionality of a two-button mouse (this is noted in the OP).
Additionally, even when replacing the 5 *USB* kexts in Mojave with those from from High Sierra or El Capitan, all you'll get is a very unstable (ie. not useable) camera.
Otherwise, Mojave on the 5,2 it is pretty much okay.
Exactly the same issue on my MacBook5.1. Bluetooth (at least Audio) was working prior to the Patch Updater. I tried the solution of copying some other kext but it did not solve the issue.
The bluetooth module is available and responsive but after a connexion, a timeout occurs few second later.
I can see some error in the Console when trying to Connect

i had to reinstall to update to 14.1 now my bluetooth shows not available on mac mini 2011 can anyone help please
i reset smc and pram on my 5,1 MacBook after installing 14.1 and my bluetooth came back
Updated my MacPro 3.1. All was fine. A few days later it won't sleep and I cant use hot corners to turn off the screen. I restored a HS backup and upgraded again but same issue not screen sleep or machine sleep. When I select sleep from the menu a few seconds later I get a chime from the built in speaker.
Re applied all the patches, reset NVRAM, SMC, turned off all bluetooth.
If I boot from the HS backup, sleep is fine.

On my post above i do not have access to high sierra bluetooth kexts so how can i fix this ?
Did you try running the ONYX app ???? I had this problem once and it was solved after running Onyx.
Yup, ran Onyx for Mojave, no change.
What is weird is for the first few days sleep worked fine.

Hi there. Have a Mac pro 3.1 which had bluetooth issues with both mojave 14.0 and 14.1. Replacing these kexts helped solve the problem. Both version 6.07 from High Sierra. however the issue seems to be fairly random as dosdude explained.
i just did this deleted old emptied trash added these and still no bluetooth.
I have a Mac Mini 2011 server if this helps any.
Hi guys I have problem with my home wifi with odd issue okey let me describe it , I have a home wifi and I use it with all my devices without any problem but when I try to connect with my macbook unfortunately unable to discover SSID on mac but when I Start my android phone hotspot and once when I connect with mac to this hotspot then I can find my home SSID in macbook this is too strange.
Did you fix permissions on the new kexts and then clear the kext cache? If not then running these commands using terminal is required if you replace kexts.
sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/IOBluetoothFamily.kext
sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/IOBluetoothHIDDriver.kext
sudo chown -R 0:0 /System/Library/Extensions/IOBluetoothFamily.kext
sudo chown -R 0:0 /System/Library/Extensions/IOBluetoothHIDDriver.kext
sudo kextcache -system-prelinked-kernel
Wait for the last command to finish fully then reboot your machine.
