I was thinking that just selecting the output device would be enough to switch between 5.1 and Headphones. Since they use the same pin complexes, you would tell the user to not attempt to output audio to both at the same time.

 

If that's not possible, it seems to me we need a feature to dynamically switch layouts... I guess that's what the Sound Blaster control panel does when you switch between Speakers and Headphones.

I have tried to separate Line-out and the rear Headphones, but only one of them works. I will disassemble that Sound Blaster panel, maybe I find something out.

Maybe it's not a feature of Lilu yet? My idea would be a method in AppleALC, and Lilu would patch AppleHDA to call the method, maybe using some assembly for any required context switching to get globals, etc.

 

Here we have something to choose, but no front Headphones.

Screen_Shot_2017_03_22_at_9_59_10_AM.png

Volume 100% via Sierra. Audio is very distorted. If I decrease volume in Sierra from 100% to 50-70% distortion disappear, but...sound is not good I think. With voodoohda is better (no volume control). I'm not familiar with these mods, but definitely sound is not as I expect. I tried this method before almost year (el capitan) and result was the same.

 

I would try a sound editing program, generate a sine wave, output it to another computer, view the waveform and see when the wave gets distorted. I remember doing stuff like that on old Macs (Power Mac). Guess I should try to find a modern sound editing program.

 

I don't think it's distorted, only higher output gain.

 

@gerrard000, try line-out with layout-id 3 if it's still distorted try using the rear speaker output (black jack). Caution, you cannot control the volume, it should have the same output gain as with the VoodooHDA.AppleALC1.1.1_gerrard.zip

Which Application are you using to run these tests?
Have you tried another app?
 
Let me know the following:
 
Internal Mic Working Y/N?
External MIc Working Y/N?
Speakers Working Y/N?
Headphones Working Y/N?

 

I am using iTunes. I only have music to listen to.

 

Internal MIc Working Yes (I can see that it registers noise and my voice in Settings->Sound->In)

External Mic Working Unknown (I have none to try)

Speakers Working Yes, but with distortions

Headphones Working Yes, but with the same type of distortions.

I have tried to separate Line-out and the rear Headphones, but only one of them works. I will disassemble that Sound Blaster panel, maybe I find something out.

If it's not possible from the Sound preferences panel, then a solution would be to make a new preference panel (like the one VoodooHDA has) that let's you choose a different layout. Maybe it could just change the layout-id property, unload AppleHDA, and reload it to use the new layout-id?

 

Hmm, here it is again, also as code.

Thanks. The download worked this time. I'll look at it on the weekend maybe.

 

Here we have something to choose, but no front Headphones.

I think we would want to be able to replace the method that chooses from a fixed array of names to some other method that can use any arbitrary name, like how the HDMI audio uses the display name.

In .zip two kexts - lilu and applealc. I install them change layout id 3 and after restart my pc speakers reproduced some strange...shrill sound. Can;t explain better. I even not ran any audio or video file. This sound was terrible. 

 

About distortion. Try to run some video file with VLC. Increase volume via VLC to 200% and 100% via Sierra. Sound is distorted with voodoohda and apple alc (from page 68). Test with itunes. Volume 100% via Sierra - audio is distorted too. Under Windows 7 - 0 problem. No distortion when increase sound to 100% via Windows or to 200% via VLC. Can't explain better. My english is very bad :)

 

EDIT:  It's my fault. I made mistake and connected pc speakers in wrong port  :blush:  :blush: . Now reinstalled OS and connected speakers in rear headphones port and works perfect. In rear 2.0 port work perfect too. You said that volmue control not work, but volume control work. No distortion. SOUND IS PERFECT.

It is the same distortions with MPlayerX. Hearable on 50% volume level, external speakers and internal. Same kind of distortions.

 

I tried using my speaker monitors now through audio jack instead of my headphones and I can report that the bass is terrible. Leading me to the question, is it the codec in itself being bad? Booted windows, tried same track. Normal bass, no distortions through speaker monitors. No distortions through external speakers.

Volume 100% via Sierra - audio is distorted too. Under Windows 7 - 0 problem. No distortion when increase sound to 100% via Windows or to 200% via VLC. Can't explain better. My english is very bad :)

Use the CodecCommander.kext from the previous AppleALC.kext archive i've uploaded, install it to /S/L/E.

If it's not possible from the Sound preferences panel, then a solution would be to make a new preference panel (like the one VoodooHDA has) that let's you choose a different layout. Maybe it could just change the layout-id property, unload AppleHDA, and reload it to use the new layout-id?

We are able to change a few things with hda-verb, I have already build a simple GUI for it, but can't access the drive where it was stored. When I have time I make a new one.

Please test this file with layout 28, also install Lilu.kext as I don't put it in AppleALC.kext's Plugins folder

Thanks for the kext File. The Microphone shows now responding in the Sound Settings. Then I think it should work now. Thank you.

AppleALC does not seem to work with Kabylake/200-series-chipset.

I have HDA Controller device ID 0x0xa2f08086

On this controller 2 codecs

codec 0 is Realtek ALC887 0x10ec0887 Rev 3, Stepping 2.

codec 2 is Intel Kabylake HDMI 0x8086280b Rev 0, Stepping 0 connected to the Intel HD Graphics 630 HDMI port.

 

The ACPI name of HDA controller is HDEF

Intel HD 630 ACPI name is patched to IGPU using Clover DSDT patch.

 

OS 10.12.4.

Combination AppleHDA + Lilu + AppleALC does not work.  No output devices show up.

 

When I patch AppleIntelSKLGraphicsFramebuffer.kext for DP->HDMI port (using Clover), I can use HDMI audio with VoodooHDA.kext 2.8.9.  ALC887 also appears to work, but I haven't tried the analog connectors.

Hello. AppleALC is confirmed working on Kabylake/200 series. Was tested on Asus Prime Z270-P. Works pretty well. As for Kabylake HDMI - it device-id 0x8086280b differs from Skylake 0x80862809. Maybe this is the clue. And also AppleALC can patch only three platform-id's 0x19160000, 0x191B0000 and 0x19120000. If you use another ig-platform-id patch it with Clover for HDMI audio support...

I use 0x19120000, so it must be something else.  I'll try again today.  Maybe I need to edit Info.plist.

Update 

Using VoodooHDA, I have only Headphone output work, Mic is very noisy and low.

Using Rehabman Lenovo U430 repo, I have  Headphone and Speaker but no internal Mic, no external Mic

For the Mic you probably need to enable Mic boost.

For the other output, open Utilties/Audio-MIDI setup, find the input and output channels, and set formats to 44.1 or 48 KHz, 16 bit.  Sometimes defaults are set differently by VooodooHDA and don't work.

Wern Apfel, I made mistake and was connected speakers in wrong port (explained here)  :blush:  :blush:  :blush: . Your kext works perfect. No distortion, sound is perfect and volume control work. Thank you very much.

One more question - what exactly do lilu.kext? In El Capitan not used. 

edit: can't believe that finally have 100% working audio.

EDIT:  It's my fault. I made mistake and connected pc speakers in wrong port  :blush:  :blush: . Now reinstalled OS and connected speakers in rear headphones port and works perfect. In rear 2.0 port work perfect too. You said that volmue control not work, but volume control work. No distortion. SOUND IS PERFECT. 

Just at the rear black jack with layout 3 you have no volume control, but the same volume as Windows. But good that it works now.

The Lilu.kext is needed since ApppleALC ver.1.1.0 to work properly, see here

Hi wern,

 

does applealc 1.1.1 work with Sierra 10.12.4? I have the CA0132 Codec.

 

THX

Hunk

Yes, it works with 10.12.4 and 10.12.5 Beta. But don't forget that the Lilu.kext is mandatory for ver. 1.1.1, also the provided CodecCommander.kext from this package. Add CodecCommander.kext to /S/L/E, AppleALC.kext and Lilu.kext to clover/kexts/other.
