3 years ago I'm sure what the issue is.
I recently acquired a macbook10,1 and this driver works perfectly fine with it. There's only trivial differences in regards to the audio codec between a macbook9,1 and a macbook10,1.
I suspect that there might some os-level configuration issue with Manjaro, but I'm not sure. I would try installing this driver on either Debian or Fedora and see if that works.
Here are my notes on now to get a create a bootable Fedora liveusb stick with 4GB of persistant space
dnf install livecd-tools
# download fedora cinnamon
wget https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/unofficial/releases/34/Fedora-Cinnamon-Live-x86_64-34-1.2.iso
livecd-iso-to-disk --format --reset-mbr --efi --overlay-size-mb 4095 Fedora-Cinnamon-Live-x86_64-34-1.2.iso /dev/sdd
--4095 is the largest overlay you can have...
**Can't have an overlay of 4095 MB or greater on VFAT
# to install newer kernel on usb stick
# create dracut config
echo -e 'hostonly="no"\nadd_dracutmodules+="dmsquash-live"' > /etc/dracut.conf.d/01-liveos.conf
# ensure latest kernel, kernel-headers, kernel-devel packages are installed
dnf upgrade kernel kernel-headers
dnf install git kernel-devel
# don't upgrade all packages otherwise the 4GB overlay partition might get overloadedI'm sure you can figure out the rest.
You'll obviously need to substitute /dev/sdd with the device id of your usb stick/device.
If Manjaro doesn't have livecd-iso-to-disk then just download the script here:
wget https://github.com/livecd-tools/livecd-tools/blob/main/tools/livecd-iso-to-disk.sh
Let me know if that works or not.
@leifliddy Greetings,
Just to preface, I'm not particularly familiar with Linux drivers. However, I was able to clone the package and install the cirrus driver without error. But when I reboot, the sound still doesn't work. I also tried your Macbook10-1-audio-driver-test too with the same issue. What information can I provide to help identify or debug the issue?
Thanks for making your work publicly available
