[Help] No Mic

[MaffSi]

Hi, 

My Hackintosh is almost fully functional.Except the mic doesn't work properly. When i call siri, she can hear and understand me, same with audio recorder. But when i try to use any apps like: Chrome, Firefox ... i just get this white noise. Like the old TVs. I were workaround this disabling one channel in MIDI but now i don't have this option anymore (is grayed). I want to know if anyone can help me to disable this ghost channel, from the mono mic, or anything that could help. I think because my mic is mono, an additional "ghost" channel is being created with static and messing up the audio.

Thanks anyway.

Here is my EFI

And the MIDI grayed option

I can advise you to try VoodooHDA which have some options for this case (SwitchCh).

Hi! Thanks for answer.
I tried the VoodooHDA but the mic still the same, works on mac apps but not in Chrome or Firefox and the Speaker isn't working anymore.
But the Speaker option appear in VoodooHDA panel with all the options grayed.

And when i test, with headphones to be able to hear something.

Try to edit VoodooHDA.kext/Contents/Info.plist as follow

			<key>NodesToPatch</key>
			<array>
				<dict>
					<key>Codec</key>
					<integer>0</integer>
					<key>Comment</key>
					<string>Change type of internal Mic</string>
					<key>Config</key>
					<string>0x90a70130</string>
					<key>Enable</key>
					<string>1</string>
					<key>Node</key>
					<integer>18</integer>
					<key>SwitchCh</key>
					<string>0</string>
				</dict>

Look at the key SwitchCh. You have to test as 0 or as 1. It may be a key for your problem.

Config 0x90a70130 is also essential thing.

Hi! 

Worked, the mic is working with the chrome, firefox...

And what i need to change to make my speaker work again?

In the panel, the speakers appear with everything grayed.

But in the system preferences -> Audio and in the system info, the speakers aren't recognized. I'm only being able to hear audio through headphones.

 

Thanks, you already helped a lot, i was not able to have the mic working before. Sorry to bother you so much

Incomplete info, adding more information about the issue.

I will look about speakers at evening. The method will be split Speakers and Headphone into different groups.

[Slice]

OK, Speakers disabled because they shared same DAC with Headphones being in different group. Let join them

				<dict>
					<key>Codec</key>
					<integer>0</integer>
					<key>Comment</key>
					<string>Change Speaker to be the first fixed output</string>
					<key>Config</key>
					<string>0x90170110</string>
					<key>Enable</key>
					<string>1</string>
					<key>Node</key>
					<integer>20</integer>
				</dict>
				<dict>
					<key>Codec</key>
					<integer>0</integer>
					<key>Comment</key>
					<string>Change Headphone to be switchable by jack</string>
					<key>Config</key>
					<string>0x0421101F</string>
					<key>Enable</key>
					<string>1</string>
					<key>Node</key>
					<integer>33</integer>
				</dict>

Use this.

Hi, it's working now.

 

Thank you so much!

I have similar issue. I want to add a USB mic to make life easier.

but even USBAudio seems not recognized.

it's shown in ioreg, but not in the Sound pane. 

any clue what I should check?

[Slice]

USBAudio is quite other story and I am not sure if any trick exists.

if I am not wrong then I think siri don't have an access for Google products, I am saying this because when I use siri on my iPhone to open YouTube siri says I don't have any access to YouTube.
