Creative CA0132 codec discussion (Sound Core3D)

[TravelerTechie]

Do you see devices in the sound panel with AppleALC?
Can you run the getdump tool while VoodooHDA is loaded? An ioreg dump could be useful.

Will check that out first thing in the morning and let you know. Thanks.

With AppleALC, if I remember correctly, it was showing only one or 2 devices, none of them working. CodecCommander.kext added more of course, again none of them working. This is what I get with VoodoHDA now, with the selected option as the only one working.

Check the attached file for the getdump tool result. Thanks. My onboard sound is Creative SoundBlaster ZxRi by the way.

Ok, so download the latest releases of AppleALC and Lilu and copy them to clover/kexts/Other, CodecCommander from the first post to /L/E, then run the tool from the attachment.
If it does not work, try AppleALC from the attachment, do not run the tool, select the first device from the audio settings.

Will I need to remove VoodooHDA (or anything else for that matter) before continuing? I installed VoodooHDA without AppleHDADisabler, and I tried both of your suggestions, and no change at all. Which means I have to locate VoodooHDA and remove it and try again, from my understanding.

Yes, you have to remove VoodooHDA. Download the ZxR tool again, it was the wrong one.

Thanks. I must be doing something wrong, now after removing VoodooHDA, and installing the kexts again and running the tool, there's no audio device at all, even after multiple restarts. In Clover I did the patch of HDAS to HDEF. Is there anything else that needs to be done before audio device can be recognised?

Inject audio ID 4, repair permissions of CodecCommander and rebuild the cache.

Tried all of that, still no audio device. Even tried enabling: Clover HPET-fix, FixIPIC, FixRTC, FixTMR to no avail.

Make sure that AppleHDA is vanilla. Save and upload an ioreg dump, please use ioregistryexplorer 2.1. I think your ACPI device name is not HDAS.

Sorry for the really late reply. I have made a clean installation of Mojave. Haven't installed anything but AppleALC.kext, WhateverGreen.kext and Lilu.kext, using Clover Configurator. I tried leaving it as clean as possible, with the SMBIOS as close to my system as possible.

I've tried again with CodecCommander and changing the layout-id to 4 through Clover Configurator (is there any other way I don't know about?)

Layout 4 gives me Digital Out (greyed out when selected), Headphones and 2 Line Out options, none of them working. Tried with setting streams for ZxR file, and with the CA0132 Switcher. Opening audio files through iTunes can't get them to play at all. Preview of audio files doesn't work at all either, as if there's no audio device at all. Here's an .ioreg file (I hope it's the one you are asking for).
