2015 12" MacBook8,1 - Ubuntu Debugging #8
Comments
Did the audio work before? I don't know that anyone's actually tested this driver on a 2015 model. |
I can help you get the audio working, but I'll need you to collect some data from your system. |
I've never had any audio from this 2015 12" MacBook 8,1 - other than via MacOS or Windows. I'd be only too happy to assist the debugging efforts. How can I help / what do you need from it? |
The easiest way to do this would be for me to send you a bootable usb stick running a modified version of macos --that you would just need to boot from and then run a few commands to collect the necessary information needed to create the driver with. First I need to see how much I can compress the cloned disk image by. I'll send you an update on this later. |
I was able to compress the dd image down to 19 GB. I split the image up into 17 1.1GB files. Planning on uploading these files to mega.nz. Let me know if this works for you or if you have a better/alternate solution. You would need to get a hold of a 128GB usb stick to write the image to (since that's what I used as my source drive). |
Actually, I could just upload the image files to my web server. |
Hi @leifliddy |
Thanks, I don't have a ton of time to dedicate towards this for next couple of weeks. This driver was based the work done by davidjo Using his method of extracting the codec replay commands, I was able to create the An outside kernel developer was pretty much responsible for creating everything else: So, I've created a the only difference between this repo and the main repo are the **I've also created an alternate file: This was because the codec command logs that John sent me didn't match up exactly with the logs that I gathered from the macbook9,1 and macbook10,1 models. It seemed to contain more data then was necessary.
I might be of limited use in troubleshooting this on a kernel-level. This driver is far from perfect and has not kept pace with davidjo's recent developments. To begin troubleshooting, I would add the following modprobe option:
Then I would just create debug statements in the patch files, and try and sort out why it's not working. Also, there seems an issue that affects Ubuntu but not Fedora (or Arch linux), and I'm not sure why. If you build the macbook8,1-test driver on an Ubuntu system
**the above outpout is from John's system, although he probably shouldn't have ran that command as root, but as a normal user It will however create this control on a Fedora system
Let me know if need any additional help. I can try contacting the original kernel developer who worked on this project if need be. |
@leifliddy Hi there , how can I view the codec command logs ? |
@kedarbramhe sorry, I must have missed this message. I worked with John Morton over the course of a few weeks in an attempt to get the audio working, but to no avail. If you'd like to try your hand at it, I can give you all the information + tools that you'll need. Let me know if you're still interested. |
@leifliddy - unfortunately, I have no sound after performing the compilation and installation on my 2015 12" MacBook 8,1 with a freshly installed Ubuntu 20.04 operating system (kernel 5.4).
I have uploaded my ALSA information here, hoping it'll help the debugging process:
http://alsa-project.org/db/?f=af42c4fe0967e9a5f6aa00061486eea31db14c16
I notice that changes have been made within Settings\Sound now, and I see the following:
Output\Output Device: Analog Output - Built-in Audio (single item)
Output\Configuration\Analog: Surround 4.0 Output (no audio on any of the four output tests)
Output\Configuration\Analog: Stereo Output (no audio on either of the two output tests)
Output\Balance: Left-Right
Input\Input Device: [Nothing]
Input\Configuration: [Nothing]
Input\Volume: [Slider]
I'm more than happy to assist where possible, please just let me know.
Just in case you might need it, here is the compilation/installation output:
