abdouoi Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Thats strange, is your laptop not the same like Kestrel.Brights Here another one AppleHDA.kext.zip This time only 1 numeric output and no input(microphone). Seems like we don't have the same laptop with Kestrel.Bright. Can you start back with the Kext from post #241 and just add volume to microphone ?

In all the test samples, my digital output was missing. The sample #2 had auto switch when connecting/disconnecting headphones. Also the sample #2 had high microphone volume compared to the kext from post #252 but it made Siri difficult to understand me (you can compare the screenshots from sample 2 and kext from post #252 to see that the volume is high in sample 2). I think I have 2 microphones (one left and one right), I'm telling this because I see two holes for the microphone. Is it possible ?

Yes, you have a microphone array, but i remember that it did not work with my patch.

Here another samples AppleHDA.kext_S:PDIF.zip AppleHDA.kext_line_in.zip AppleHDA.kext_line_in_2.zip Digital output is back now. In all the samples, the volume control was not in sync with the volume in the menu bar. The sample "AppleHDA.kext_line_in_2" "Internal microphone" didn't have volume control but the "Line in" had volume control (I mad the test to see volume level when connecting an apple earphone in the microphone hole but Siri couldn't understand me). Can you configure kext from post #241 for auto-switch of connecting/disconnecting headphones ? testResults2.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wern apfel Posted July 25, 2016 Author Share Posted July 25, 2016 Can you configure kext from post #241 for auto-switch of connecting/disconnecting headphones ? Does the codec work as it should at linux ?, i think that the mic input is not to low but distorted, with quicktime you can start a new audio recording and listen how it sounds, it 's better to do it with headphones to avoid back coupling. Here the 241 kext with some edits: AppleHDA.kext_241_HP_switch.zip AppleHDA.kext_241_2.zip AppleHDA.kext_241_3.zip thanks for your help, the sample #2 enough for me.

The sample "AppleHDA.kext_241_HP_switch" doesn't have the switch. But the switch is present in "AppleHDA.kext_241_2" and "AppleHDA.kext_241_3". All the samples are missing ambient noise reduction(for the microphone) that I have in kext from post #241. Also For the two samples having the switch working, there is a sync issue between the volume controller in the tab bar and the volume controller in Sounds settings. I have attached some screenshots from linux (Ubuntu). The input level is present and working under linux sound_mic_linux.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ambient noise reduction functionality is now back and working (tested with QuickTime recording). In the samples "AppleHDA.kext_sync_diff"and "AppleHDA.kext_sync_linein" the built-in microphone is still low but Siri can understand me and the line in is very low. Please fix the sound for output. After these tests, I've updated Sierra to beta 3. Now these samples doesn't have audio detection at all. Can you patch the AppleHDA of Sierra beta 3 please ?
