No mic with AppleHDA_ALC256.kext

mpross512 commented 5 years ago

Try using Apple_ALC.kext instead with the clover boot args alcid=11

Or alcid=56

Using alcid=56 (DalianSkyRealtek ALC256 (3246) for Dell Series), I noticed that this only gives Line Out, no microphone.

alcid=11 (Rockjesus - Realtek ALC256 (3246) - dell 7559) gives microphone output and might be the better choice.

Note that the codec information for the Dell 7559 looks to be an identical chipset to the XPS 9360.

I haven't tested layout 11 in detail yet, but I am planning to build a HDA injector with it to see how well it performs.

Sound and mic now working with AppleALC.kext and alcid=11

Even after waking from sleep ?

Indeed, alcid=11 works even after waking from sleep!

But you still need ssdt for alc256 and codeccommander ? Is that right ?

Yes you need that.

You shouldn't need either. Test it out (and ensure to rebuild your cache with kext util).

Confirmed. alc256 SSDT removed and no CC. Sound works as expected.
