Same issue here - only difference is that I have an Intel AX201

ShroomKing · 2023-10-05T08:57:25Z

You need to use BrcmPatchRAM3.kext (Why isn't this mentioned more often?)

Without it I also have this problem on IntelAX211

I give up on this shit, I'm already switched to BCM cards

I give up on this shit , gonna buy a BCM94360NG

After adding BrcmPatchRAM3.kext bluetooth starts working even on intel chips, so maybe give that a try first?

KaushikDuddala · 2023-10-05T14:12:18Z

Trying that now, will send an update afterward, thanks.

KaushikDuddala · 2023-10-05T14:27:51Z

straight off the bat, Bluetooth is way smoother. I was especially having this issue when on calls from my Mac so I'll test it with a call later.

KaushikDuddala · 2023-10-05T14:33:27Z

Thanks! My Bluetooth seems to work flawlessly and it even sounds better and connects way smoother it practically feels perfectly like a native card. They need to include this in the OpenCore guide or somewhere in the brcmpatch repo.

You're welcome! I really think this should be mentioned in the IntelBluetoothFirmware README

It's not just required for Sonoma, it also fixes a bunch of issues on Ventura. Bluetooth sometimes stopped working after wake from sleep, with BrcmPatchRAM3.kext that's fixed also.

darrikonn · 2023-10-09T14:03:08Z

Experienced the same regarding using Web Bluetooth. Adding BrcmPatchRAM3.kext is not really an option for our end-users (on a web application).

same ax201, have you solved it? I tried to add BrcmPatchRAM3.kext and nothing works!

lzipant · 2023-10-16T07:34:23Z

@ShroomKing Besides BrcmPatchRAM3.kext, does any other ktext need to be added? I add BrcmPatchRAM3.kext for my ax201 but it don't work.

alikaylan · 2023-10-20T11:24:46Z

Intel 7265NGW Bluetooth side does not work either in Sonoma. All was good before. WiFi works fine.

Intel AX200 Bluetooth not working in Sonoma, but WiFi works fine.

I'm having the exact same issue. I went back to Ventura in the meantime.

ShroomKing · 2023-10-24T10:25:55Z

try adding the bluetoolfixup bootarg -btlfxallowanyaddr

0xfeedface1993 · 2023-10-25T08:36:22Z

try adding the bluetoolfixup bootarg -btlfxallowanyaddr

It's still not functioning properly. While it seems that the kext isn't loading, the logs indicate that it has been loaded.

alikaylan · 2023-10-25T12:23:49Z

try adding the bluetoolfixup bootarg -btlfxallowanyaddr

Indeed, does not solve this particular issue.

ShroomKing · 2023-10-25T15:32:05Z

Alright, it was just a guess based on the system info output for the bluetooth controller (Address = NULL)

I use AX211 and it works for me(Also works for @KaushikDuddala but idk which chip he is using)

Guess BrcmPatchRAM doesn’t work for all intel chips.

hugonascimento · 2023-10-26T10:43:12Z

It worked for me with Intel 9560 on Sonoma, try this:

My AX201 bluetooth address was null, After added BlueToolFixup.kext.zip, it's ok.

Refer to #437 (comment)

sdkdimon · 2023-11-15T12:43:40Z

Also my AX201 works in Sonoma. I've using latest BlueToolFixup kext, and myself build of IntelBluetoothFirmware kext with updated firmware and patch for LE devices(#446).

I'm working on a fix for a day and think I miss something ovious, just too long in this topic. My problem is the Mac does not see any BT devices.

sdkdimon, would you be able to kindly build the latest firmware version with the patch for LE devices? The only thing that seems to be working with MX mouse is the kext you had built with patch and it is no longer the latest firmware version. Thanks in advance. Much appreciated.
