Update MuteGPIO and AMP Values ALC255 + Add Layout21 for ALC272 Lenovo All In One PC C440 (CodecCommander.kext must be installed in Library/Extensions)

Update MuteGPIO and AMP Values ALC255 layoutID = 21 by Andres ZeroCross

[Sniki]

@andreszerocross why would you need CodecCommander.kext installed into Library/Extensions ?
It works just fine into EFI/OC/kexts ; EFI/Clover/kexts/Other
Is there a specific reason for that ?, just curious to know.

I use it on all my hacks because all of my laptops/desktop have codecs that need it.
As for hda-verb installing it on usr/local/bin should be fine as it doesn't ask for Volume to be mounted for RW.

[andreszerocross]

No, it wouldn't work if you put CodecCommander in EFI/CLOVER/Kexts/Other or OC/Kexts. I have Creative CA0132, CodecCommander is necessery. Without this,, i have "annoying high pitch sound" in speaker. AFAIK, CodecCommander.kext must be installed in Library/Extensions.

ALC272 of AIO Lenovo PC C440 must put CodecCommadner.kext in Library/Extensions, if not there is no sound from Internal Speaker (but output is detected,).

I made new resource because node id of internal speaker is 0x1A not 0x14.

I have found 2 codec with same habit (Current ALC272 in AIO Lenovo and ALC298 in notebook), need CodecCommander in Library/Extensions and rebuild kext cache, then sound will work.

Sorry for bad english

Why do we merge stuff that needs CodecCommander? AppleALC has everything that fully replaces CodecCommander, it makes no sense to me to add borked resources that suddenly do require this legacy again?

[Sniki]

@vit9696 since you joined here, for example for ALC292 codec we need this configuration override SSDT for CodecCommander.kext:

DefinitionBlock ("", "SSDT", 1, "Sniki", "_ALC292", 0)
{
    External(_SB.PCI0.HDEF, DeviceObj)
    Name(_SB.PCI0.HDEF.RMCF, Package()
    {
        "CodecCommander", Package()
        {
            "Custom Commands", Package()
            {
                Package(){}, // signifies Array instead of Dictionary
                Package()
                {
                    // 0x15 SET_UNSOLICITED_ENABLE 0x83
                    "Command", Buffer() { 0x01, 0x57, 0x08, 0x83 },
                    "On Init", ">y",
                    "On Sleep", ">n",
                    "On Wake", ">y",
                },
                Package()
                {
                    // 0x1a SET_PIN_WIDGET_CONTROL 0x24
                    // Node 0x1a - Pin Control (In Enable / VRefEn)
                    "Command", Buffer() { 0x01, 0xa7, 0x07, 0x24 },
                    "On Init", ">y",
                    "On Sleep", ">n",
                    "On Wake", ">y",
                },
            },
            "Perform Reset", ">n",
            "Send Delay", 10,
            "Sleep Nodes", ">n",
        },
    })
}

I couldn't find proper evidence for this so can you or any other acidanthera member provide just a small example on how should i port these fixes into AppleALC, on what place should i put those because im a bit confused and couldn't figure out myself.

There are many codecs on AppleALC merged like this with the use in combination with CodecCommander.kext in mind.

I would really like to know how to do add those values into AppleALC.kext and get rid of CodecCommander.kext for good for the sake or a simpler and cleaner setup in general.

Thanks.

Additional note: we use AppleALC layout-id 28 comment: vusun123 - ALC 292 for Lenovo T440

@roddy20 could you please provide the brief details on the matter? You know more than I do.

                }
            })`

If i don't use that, I will get high pitch noise in my speaker. I used 5.1 Speaker Configuration.
AFAIK, AppleALC.kext only support for EAPD wake, but how about other custom command???

It won't work, i have tried this for CA0132 with LayoutID = 4

1. I add "0017161F 0157170D 01571824 0017171E 00171514 01170744 01270724 01570A00 " for WakeConfigData and set WakeVerbReinit = YES then Recompile new AppleALC.kext and use it.. Then i remove CodecCommander.kext from L/E and remove CustomCommand from SSDT. Result = High Pitch SOund Speaker / No 5.1 Sound

2. I add "01170744 01270724 01570A00" to "ConfigData" (because other Values is existing, so i just need to add these) and add "0017161F 0157170D 01571824 0017171E 00171514 01170744 01270724 01570A00" for WakeConfigData and set WakeVerbReinit = Yes then Recompile new AppleALC.kext and use it. Then i Remove CodecCommander.kext from L/E and remove CustomCommand from SSDT. Result = No Audio Device except HDMI Audio.

3. Just use AppleALC.kext Release version and put CodecCommander.kext in OC/Kexts and keep using CustomCommand in SSDT. Result = High Pitch Sound from speaker and no 5.1 Audio Output

So, we still need CodecCommander.kext in Library/Extensions and somehow some verb can't be sent with AppleALC.kext.

[Sniki]

@roddy20 i do confirm the same as @andreszerocross said.

I just added the verbs but high pitch sound when i plug headphones and no audio output.
External Microphone (Line-In) doesn't show up and stays in Internal Microphone

For my codec Realtek ALC3232 (know as ALC292) aside of CodecCommander + AppleALC to have perfect audio inputs and outputs i also need ALCPlugFix which i have a fork with customized entries for my specific audio codec.

See here: https://github.com/Sniki/ALCPlugFix

The commands that you modify according to the specific codec are here:
https://github.com/Sniki/ALCPlugFix/blob/4140e54da788cf6cf6e1642e7701cfaec6c6b7de/ALCPlugFix/main.m#L136-L137

However since you guys said all those are supported by AppleALC itself i wanted to get rid of CodecCommander to have a cleaner setup (-1 SSDT, -1 kext, -2 config.plist entries).

However i believe ALCPlugFix is still a necessity although i believe it's something that can be added into AppleALC as well so we have AppleALC as the perfect ALL IN ONE solution for audio.

But it is not working for me without CodecCommander.kext
I can provide logs if you want just let me know what logs and what boot-args you need to provide them.

Thanks

[roddy20]

then Recompile new AppleALC.kext

no need to recompile
ConfigData, WakeUpConfigData are editable by user

try this https://github.com/roddy20/VerbStub
it is like Codec Commander but it sends verbs interactively and you can see (hear) the result

[Sniki]

thanks @roddy20

I see and i will give it a try but i prefer automatic selection without having a popup to pick what i want.
If my earphones/earpods have their own mic, i love how it automatically works and switches to headphones+LineIn without having to manually select them.
All i wanted to do is just get rid of CodecCommander.kext but it doesn't seem to work without it.
I have perfect audio with my current setup, i just wanted less kext if same functionality is present on AppleALC.

My Lenovo ThinkPad X240 does have a Docking Station, which it does have a combo jack there as well. so in total two combo jacks (2x Line-In=1x for laptop jack, 1x for dock jack) 1x Headphones(laptop jack), 1x LineOut(for the dock jack).

What i noticed from people when patching audio, they patch it that way so you have to select from right click of volume icon on the menu bar which input or output you want.
I don't like that, i want same behavior as on Windows and Linux since it's possible why wouldn't someone do that, i heard words that it's not possible, you have to ditch one input source and manually switch as auto switch/detection doesn't work, which is wrong, i did that and it's working perfect. sending a pull request soon for ALC3232 (aka ALC292) for Lenovo ThinkPads X240,L440,T440,T440S,T440P (all thinkpads of haswell and broadwell generation that use this codec).
You simply leave the two jack mics as Line-In and have two Line-In into layout**.xml > Inputs >
And just for cosmetic reason i left the Dock Jack on Output to show as LineOut so for whatever reasons i check volume icon it shows LineOut on Dock Jack and Headphones on Laptop Jack.
But you can have two headphones and two Line-In into pinconfigdata

Basically a lot of desktop codecs are patched sort of that wrong way, no auto switch.
Example is my HP Elite 8300 SFF, it has a Headphone and a Microphone Jack in front and a Headphone and Microphone jack on the back.

Current existing patch is like this, if you plug headphones on the back audio does output into headphones automatically (that's fine), but if you plug headphones in front headphone jack, the audio will continue playing unless i rightclick menu bar and click on LineOut. same behavior for microphones.

Anyway to the straight point, so by this now i can assume that AppleALC doesn't have that complete functionality that CodecCommander does have ?

If yes, i can provide logs if needed, if not it would be great to port those, same for VerbStub and or ALCPlugFix functionality so we can have a fusion like WhateverGreen.kext had but now for audio.

Sorry for this TLDR

[vit9696]

We believe the exact same functionality is supported by AppleALC. It might be, however, that CodecCommander does something else (e.g. more verbs that are not configured) to the HDA codec, or the amount of verbs you need to send with AppleALC are slightly different due to the order of the verbs sent. The suggestion to try VerbStub may unveil these differences by manually probing the commands and checking the result.

There is some room that there is a race condition, and some verbs need to be sent e.g. twice, but I hope there is none. All in all, patience and trial and error are needed here.

[roddy20]

thanks @roddy20

I see and i will give it a try but i prefer automatic selection without having a popup to pick what i want.

it is not for everyday usage
it is for debug, to be sure that your verbs work as expected,
or examine the internal state of codec

[andreszerocross]

Take a look at info.plist of CodecCommander.kext
. There is no profile for ALC272 except default ones.

with my resource ALC272 LayoutId = 21 without codecCommande.kext in L/E then there is no sound for internal speaker (Audio device is detected). Even in cold boot, there is no sound for Internal Speaker until we put CodecCommander.kext to Library/Extensions.

Just curious, what did codecCommadnder.kext did with default codec profiles??

That's good to know, i will try VerbStub and provide more details into this.
Not in a rush at all, just explaining the current working state, English not my native language so forgive me if it looks somewhere that i acted harsh or something, not in purpose/intentional.
Yes i am ready to patiently debug this so we can hopefully have a positive result in the end.
As you said, i hope there is no race condition either, that may complicate things but i will go ahead and do some initial testing and let you all know what we can find out from this.

@roddy20 correct me if im wrong with the order of things that i need to do:

• Remove ALCPlugFix
• Remove CodecCommander.kext and the config SSDT for CodecCommander.kext
• Add VerbStub.kext
• add wakeconfigdata and configdata into AppleALC.kext/contents/resources/info.plist
  i believe there is no need to rebuild it as it can be edited from there.
• Do i need combojack installer as well ? as explained on the linked forum at tmx86 ?

I would appreciate a short brief to-do list so i can provide logs.

[roddy20]

yes, remove all these (ALCPlugFix, Commander, Combojack etc)
add VerbStub
send verbs manually and check the result
add verbs to ConfigData/WakeupConfigData

for example:
hda-verb 0x15 AC_VERB_SET_GPIO_DIRECTION 0x83 gives me this result:
No key matching with 'AC_VERB_SET_GPIO_DIRECTION'
One thing i noticed is, if i let laptop sleep and then wake it, plugging headsets will have good working sound and also external mic is detected correctly as LineIn, however if i unplug headsets and plug them again it will go into static whitenoise and internal mic only (no linein detected).
Realtek ALC3232 Dump.txt

Let me know what are further commands that i need to try.
hda-verb 0x1A SET_PIN_WIDGET_CONTROL 0x24 will make audio work again on headphones as soon as i press enter.

I believe that if there is a "PerformReset" command on boot, now my codec should work correctly, without CodecCommander and Without AlcPlugFix with the changes that i did.
As soon as i sleep the laptop and wake it again, everything works perfect.
@roddy20 @vit9696 is there a perform reset command on AppleALC at boot ? (Like codeccommander.kext have ?)

[Sniki]

@andreszerocross try adding the WakeConfigData to ConfigData as well, that fixed almost completely my audio codec, mine just needs a full reset on Cold Boot, after wake from sleep everything works perfect.

@roddy20 @vit9696 sorry for bothering you again, but can any of you or another member that can answer this: let me know if there is a "ResetHDA" function into AppleALC or OpenCore itself like we have this option on Clover or CodecCommander as i couldn't find any evidence or answer for this into documentations available.

My codec needs a Full reset on Cold Boot to function completely fine.

As for your point @vit9696 , yes you are right those commands are supported on AppleALC but they seem to be necessary to be included into ConfigData as well, not just on WakeConfigData.
That seemed to be the problem.

Thanks guys !

[wern-apfel]

Interesting conversation. I also tested the Wake ConfigData, all verbs are sent, but the codec doesn't work. It works after restarting the core audio daemon. Maybe this could be a workaround.
You can also try the D3cold power state. Will do some more tests later.

Regarding the CA0132 codec. CodecCommander has to be in /L/E because some commands have to be executed later. But already fixed, try AppleALC from the CA0132 topic on Insanelymac, where CC can be run by the boot loader.

[Sniki]

@wern-apfel how can i restart the audio daemon ? same for D3 cold power state ?
In my case it's a problem on Boot, a sleep and wake fixes all the issue and audio will be working until next reboot.

I can do some debugging and send logs, i just need the directions on what/how to collect them.

[wern-apfel]

D3cold "hda-verb 0x1 0x705 0x4" assuming CC is loaded. then do a force restart coreaudio, enter "sudo killall coreaudiod"
Whats your pin control value after startup ? Which layout-id and resources do you use?

[Sniki]

@wern-apfel i currently use a modified version of vusun123 - ALC292 for ThinkPad T440.
layout-id 28, his version lacks the dock support and the wakeconfigdata to fix the issues.
I modified it with all the known fixes and added dock support.
Technically it seems that 01A70724 is not being executed at ConfigData cause i did add that there as well assuming that it should be executed with the rest of ConfigData but it is not working there.
Wake from sleep fixes the problem:
On cold boot when i plug headphones, i get high pitch noise and the external mic (headset mic) doesn't get detected.
However if i let laptop to sleep and wake it, i insert headphones and no more problems, audio works fine, headset mic detected "LineIn" and everything will work perfect until next reboot without a sleep/wake cycle happening, you can unplug and plugin headset 100 times it will work everytime after the sleep/wake cycle happened.

Here are the files (codec_dump.txt, info.plist"of pinconfigs.kext, layout28.xml and Platforms28.xml):
ALC3232.zip
If you want to take a look.

[wern-apfel]

After a quick look, the MuteGPIO value is 1342242854 in hex 0x50010026. The pin should be in hex. 26 = 1a means 0x5001001a dec. 1342242842.

Are you refering to Layout28.xml > PathMapRef > LineIn :
Change 1342242854 to 1342242842 ?

Yes. With CodecCommander loaded and hda-verb in the path, you can use the script to display

Note: Aside from the codec_dump, is it possible to dump the hda-verb values from Linux and get a better understanding on what should be done to correct this codec ?

[wern-apfel]

I think you have a TRRS audio jack and the MIC and HP have pin sense. You must disable it for the microphone and call it via detect delegate. Try the simplified script.

Is there any working example of detect delegate for Hackintosh codec with TRRS ?

[wern-apfel]

@Sniki hda-verb is only a client of CodecCommander, to make it work CC must be loaded.

@roddy20 I don't have a Laptop with a TRRS jack, but I'm going to create an AppleALC for Sniki to see if it works.
Below is an example where output 11 (0xb) has no pinsense but 12 (0xd), pin 11 (0xb) has pin sense in this way and works.

[roddy20]

it is very interesting
I saw very similar code in MacBook's resources, but never managed to make it work at Hackintosh
a lot of codecs with TRRS need it

[wern-apfel]

Oh, my old Dell laptop has an TRRS jack but my son uses it with Windows. Let's see if I can found a USB-to SATA adapter to do some tests. @Sniki in the meantime, you can try this sample. It is configured like the Dell.

@wern-apfel any update or information gathered that you could provide for TRRS Jack ?

[wern-apfel]

@wern-apfel any update or information gathered that you could provide for TRRS Jack ?

I didn't have enough time to test. It seems that the issue is not the TRRS jack. When the GPIO entry is added, VREF is activated, but only if it is not configured in switch mode. The same behaviour on my desktop. I will do a few more tests.

Yes, so currently we are using the MacPeet version of AppleALC patch with Manual Mode switch from Speaker to Headphones, so if we plug headphones, we lose audio from speakers but we have to click on the volume icon on the menu bar to select Line Out to get audio output from Headphones and vice versa (manual switch).

Interestingly enough, instead of headphones, he choosed LineOut which seems to work for some reasons, i tried playing around with his patch and just to modify the pinconfigs so it shows "headphone" instead of "LineOut" and the static noise comes back.

So current situation is: Manual mode works and headphones should be configured as LineOut.

Here is the reference:
#508

[Sniki]

@wern-apfel @roddy20

Is it possible to setup an input device as a External Microphone instead of LineIn.
Did any of you had success with that ?

On my MBP 13” Retina (Early 2015) when i plugin EarPods, in input it shows External Microphone and on Outputs it shows Headphones (as it should).
For comparison, on hackintosh all inputs are configured as LineIn.
But in the case of this codec, Lenovo ThinkPads have docking stations which does have a combo jack, so in our case we need 3 input devices.

• Internal Microphone
• Laptop Input from jack (LineIn or ExtMic)
• Dock Input from Jack (ExtMic or LineIn)

Output devices:

• Speakers
• Laptop Output from jack (Headphones)
• Dock Output from Jack (LineOut)

The problem is i don’t know what pinconfig should i make for ExtMic as the only option is MicIn or LineIn from documentations available, is it supposed to be left as micIn and then specify it on layout**.xml file > Inputs > ExtMic ? Or is there a ExtMic pin value ?

If i leave both inputs from both jacks as LineIn, one of them won’t work, no input reception.

I tried to leave the pinconfig value of one of the jacks as MicIn and add the ExtMic on one of the layout.xml but i get no external microphone listed for that input and the menu bar icon stays greyed out for like 1 min after i boot into desktop, so i will have no audio for that 1 min period until the configuration loads.

[wern-apfel]

@wern-apfel @roddy20

Is it possible to setup an input device as a External Microphone instead of LineIn.

In my experience, it only works when the microphone is the second device in auto switch mode.
Set port connectivity and location to 0xx71F00. Here my patched kext as an example.

Regarding microphone on TRRS jacks. The VREF of the second device (in our case the external microphone) in switch mode is always 0V (ground) however VREF 80% is required, a workaround would be a binary patch, which changes VREF to 80
