Sound problems #15

Closed hdamico closed 4 years ago

hdamico commented 4 years ago

Hi mate! First of all, great work! I'm having problem with sound devices. In system preferences I have two devices as you can see in the image: image At first I thought it was just a glitch, but then when it comes to have calls with zoom, hangout or whathever, at cetain time the sound goes to the other device, so I have to switch between them everytime the sound stops. Also the headset microphone does not work (plugged via jack port).

Hi, for the headset have you tried ALCPlugFix from this repo? The duplication of the device could be due to the fact that our card has four channels... I have not found any guide to configure a sound card with AppleALC from scratch... do you know any of them? I saw that our configuration (release 1.4.1) was submitted by DalianSky so it should be ok...

Tried ALCPlugFix but the script is broken, throws you a 404 error.

Hello,

First off, DISCLAIMER: I am not using the audio jack for input/output so the usefulness of the below might be limited for you, but it might stop switching audio sources mid-meeting.

You can try to create a new Aggregate Device in the MIDI Audio Devices, assign both "Internal Speakers" to it, and, under "Configure Speakers", select "Quadraphonic" as setup - this will allow 4.0 positional audio. You will still have to adjust speaker volume individually for each "Internal Device". You can also associate the MIC to this Aggregate device so that audio and noise detection/cancellation works as expected in meetings. I am using this setup with WebEx and Google Meet and it works well.

Let me know if this works for you.

Hello @edrevpac!,

Thanks for the suggestion, I will check it as soon as I have another call.

@profzei get it work by changing https://raw.githubusercontent.com/profzei/ALCPlugFix/alc_fix/ALCPlugFix to https://raw.githubusercontent.com/profzei/ALCPlugFix/master/alc_fix/ALCPlugFix Anyway I still see two internal speakers, but I tried a call and I did not have any problem.

Anyway I still see two internal speakers

ALC256 layout-id 76 (4CH) for Matebook X Pro 2019 by Durian-Life (added in release 1.5.0) fixes this as it has 4 channels, which negates the need for the workaround as mentioned by @edrevpac.
