How to: In this Post

 

Thanx for the info. I checked out the post and followed the link to the German blog text. I don’t really understand German that well,  at least not enough to follow that guide. However I did the first Linux Live CD command and got the codec dump. If some one that actually know how to patch in support for codecs based on the codec dump can update AppleALC to support the CX20641 that would be great. Thanks in advance.

Hello,

This is going to be a support/discussion topic of AppleALC on InsanelyMac. 
AppleALC is a kernel extension allowing you to enable native apple HD audio without any filesystem modifications. It dynamically injects the necessary modifications to AppleHDA (and other kexts) including the

layouts, and makes your audio work starting from the OS installation.

 

It should be noted that AppleALC starting with version 1.1.0 requires Lilu.kext to be put in the same folder as AppleALC.kext. See this topic for more details.

 

For quite some time we are trying to obtain the necessary information about AppleALC codec compatibility. If you use something, please, consider checking the compatibility table (do not worry, it is in English), and report (here) on your codec. We are also looking for all the possible revisions of the codec, if we do not have the revisions listed for your codec please report as well. Thanks for understanding. 

 

The report is meant to contain:

1. Laptop model/Motherboard model
2. Codec name
3. Layout used with the info what works for you (ideally if you try them all)
4. OS X versions you tried
5. Autogenerated Info.plist made with the help of this utility.
 
All the details including the source code are available on github:
https://github.com/vit9696/AppleALC
Some short wiki articles explaining the usage are included.
 
As for now the project is relatively immature without practically any codec support. But it should be pretty easy to add more of them, I am hoping for the support of the "community" :)
If you have any issues, better report them on github for structural reasons.

Great jobs man！

i have a laptop pc with alc662 @ intel 5 series board. I can boot 10.12.6 correct and loaded applealc & lilu & IOHDAFamily & AppleHDAController. but i can't see any input or output devices in the volume control。

I use layout of 13 and clover as bootloader. when i check the system log, there is no error appear.

please help me!

Try other layouts.
You can use 5, 7, 11, 12 and 13.

@vit9696 Would you be able to help get this working on AMD boards? I've got ALC892 and I've tried a few times to get AppleALC working but not managed it. I've tried different layouts and I've added HDEF to my DSDT. Would like to get this working. Here's a dump from Darwin Dumper with modified DSDT, AppleALC and Lilu injected. If you need something else let me know and I can upload. Specs are in my signature.

Hey Shaneee! I think you should delete that actual HDEF Device you just added into the DSDT, and start renaming SBAZ to HDEF using clover patch, then rename the two SBAZ in the DSDT to HDEF, then apply on it your patch! If you look at your iOREG and LSPCI they both reports that the: (1002:4383) is the Audio Device!

Also you maybe have to rename other devices such as: LPC0 to LPC, SMB0 to SBUS, TMR to TIMR, PIC to IPIC, DMA1 to DMAC, USB's as well

Ok I got a fresh DSDT and renamed SBAZ to HDEF and added the layout. I've renamed other devices too but still noting. Here's an updated dump of IOREG, LSPCI and audio. Any suggestions?

Excuse me i forgot, you should rename LPC0 to LPCB, another thing is that your device HDEF is placed in the: 00140002 address instead of 001B0000! But if you use clover you have that patch section under ACPI that allows you to rename devices, because your board maybe have some other SSDT's and that aren't extracted with clover or any other app, so when you use clover patches, it search on the entire UEFI image to find that specific name!

So my suggestion is, trying clover patches for SBAZ to HDEF, renaming SBAZ to HDEF in the DSDT, will help to avoid any other SSDT that have SBAZ on it and who can stop AppleALC to use that HDEF. Also try to change that address from 00140002 to 001B0000 and also if you want change that

Still can't get it working. Here is my DSDT, the original DSDT and my config. Can you have a look and work some magic? DSDT isn't my strong point lol

Before trying something, can you remove the AppleHDA patches from the "KernelAndKextPatches and Devices>Audio>Inject + ResetHDA" in Config.plist, also remove any existing VoodooHDA or any AudioKext? keep only AppleALC in the EFI/Clover/Kexts/Other folder and Original AppleHDA in S/L/E

Ok I've removed those and still nothing. I'd already removed VoodooHDA and AppleHDA hasn't been touched.

Hi guys, I have one question about the latest version of the AppleALC 1.2.3,i see the changelog say "Added automatic rename for HDEF device',so I use the latest version,and i removed the dsdt patch HDAS-HDEF in the config.plist , then reboot, but audio does't work ! So I check the dsdt.aml and I found AppleALC hasn't rename the audio device name to HDEF,i was confuse, may I miss something?:(

I did renaming USB's to UHCX, LPC0 to LPCB, SMB0 to SBUS, SBAZ to HDEF with changing it's OperationRegion, COPR to MATH, PIC to IPIC, DMA1 to DMAC, TMR to TIMR! Also added BUS0, LPCB, HDEF, GFX1 with HDAU _DSM with DTGP and the second with SATA patch

Still a no go. I've tried layouts 1, 2, 3 and 5. What others are supported? Also with the DSDT you made HDEF disappeared from the IOREG.

I think it's just an _DSM Method that need to be changed with the DSDT for iOREG you showed, change that _DSM because I had same thing for my Laptop when I changed the _DSM the HDEF reappeared and worked with AppleALC, you can see it in few posts ago here!

Try this:

AppleALC and Lilu in Clovers /other folder
original AppleHDA in S/L/E is required
delete all VoodooHDA files
KextInject "YES" in Clover

Inject via Clover:
Inject 11 and set FixHDA

Inject via DSDT:
DSDT / HDEF is 0B (= 11) not set FixHDA in Clover

Both first attempts in ManualMode!
If it works later in SwitchMode configuration!

Did you apply the IRQ fix to your DSDT? (Check rehabman’s DSDT patches on fithub).

 

For me, AppleHDA refused to load without that patch.

Great thanks, gonna give it a try and report back. One thing I don't get though, don't I have to also figure out a correct path map for each node for this to work? Or are there preconfigured correct layout ids that make this unnecessary?

Edit: Wooo, we're getting somewhere, I have sound output!(microphone I can not test since I don't have one at hand). What did you mean by SwitchMode config?

Excuse me my english is in learning mode :( :D, but what i meant isn't to change _DSM to XDSM, no but i just talked about changing that _DSM Method it self like this example:

 On my HP Laptop i had null result with AppleALC using this _DSM: 

#
# IDT 92HD91BXX
# Fix HDEF device for the IDT 92HD91BXX audio codec
into method label _DSM parent_label HDEF remove_entry;
into device label HDEF insert begin
Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized)\n
{\n
	Store (Package () {\n
		"device_type", Buffer () {"IDT 92HD91BXX"},\n
		"codec-id", Buffer (0x04) {0x11,0x76,0x1D,0x11},\n
		"layout-id", Buffer (0x04) {0x01,0x00,0x00,0x00},\n
		"PinConfigurations", Buffer (Zero) {},\n
		"MaximumBootBeepVolume", Buffer(One) {0x00},\n
		"MultiEQDevicesPresence", Buffer () {0x00,0x00,0x01,0x00},\n
	}, Local0)\n
	DTGP (Arg0, Arg1, Arg2, Arg3, RefOf (Local0))\n
	Return (Local0)\n
}\n
end;

Assuming that this method _DSM work on my Desktop, but after getting help from chris1111 "thanks" he pointed me about RehabMan Audio patch which it use this: 

#   Inject Audio info
into method label _DSM parent_label HDEF remove_entry;
into device label HDEF insert
begin
Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized)\n
{\n
    If (LEqual (Arg2, Zero)) { Return (Buffer() { 0x03 } ) }\n
    Return (Package()\n
    {\n
        "layout-id", Buffer() { 84, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 },\n
        "hda-gfx", Buffer() { "onboard-1" },\n
        "PinConfigurations", Buffer() { },\n
        //"MaximumBootBeepVolume", 77,\n
    })\n
}\n
end;

And it worked

So I think that if you change the actual _DSM Method that you use maybe you'll have sound working and the good way is to continue from the DSDT that showed on iOREG HDEF device that it was loaded

@MacPeet, hey dude, please here's my IDT 92HD91BXX codec dump from linux if you can:

codec_dump.txt

I know it maybe disturb you to just make a translation from German about that guide you just linked previously, I learned German in the Tourist institute but it's gone many years ago it was in 2001, and as I have no one with who I can speak German, so this language decided to go out from my mind day after day Hhh, i still know the basically basic, but the other things has gone! But it's much more useful to us, because we will be able to add more codecs to the DataBase of the AppleALC and by the way different users will have more support for their Codecs, in my point I'm telling that because sometimes i work with an friend of mine here in MOROCCO that sell Computer Parts such as motherboards, CPU's and all the things we know, i build and install for him many PC's if he need someone to do it because of lot of work!

So it will be good enough if we know how to do it from codec_dump step to the last, for me it's pleasure, and this will be my little contribution to that Effort you made (coders and Vit9696)
