Hi, recently I start fixing bugs in my mac and I found out that my headphone jack does not work.
First i had problems in general (speaking of audio). I solve those problem changing the layout-id to 13
After that i start using the SSDT available at codeccomander bitbucket (the ALC-VBOURACHOT), but i wouldnt work since the only thing that i could hear while using my headphone was a cracking noice. After that, i change the SSDT to the Insanelyi and the sound start working a little bit better, i had no bugs in my built-in speaker and microphone, and if i connect a headphone in my headphone jack, it actually gets detected, the problem is, no matter what i do, i cant hear anything using the headphone, i can turn the volume up or down but there is no sound out of it.

"Problem Reporting" files are incomplete.
Read FAQ, "Problem Reporting" again. Carefully. Attach all requested files/output.
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/faq-read-first-laptop-frequent-questions.164990/
Use the gen_debug.sh tool mentioned in the FAQ, that way it is less likely you'll omit something.
 
There you go. So sorry for the incomplete attachment that I uploaded before.

No ioreg there. Please check your files carefully before upload.
 
Now i have all the files, sorry for last time, i didnt notice that the script (gen_debug tool) gave an error retrieving the ioreg.
I used the tool in order to garther everything and i manually put the ioreg there so it should be it.

You have an obvious problem with SMBIOS truncation you should fix before looking at anything else.
Not your ioreg shows "MacBookPro15," instead of the intended model name.
You need to set config.plist/KernelAndKextPatches/DellSMBIOSPatch=true.

Due to this obvious and huge mistake, I didn't check anything else.
 
Ok i fixed that, use the tool again in order to retrieve all files.
By doing the DellSMBIOSPatch, i found out that the layout-id i was using get now the cracking sound, then i change the layout to 56 (it was even worse) and then to 11. With the layout-id 11 i have everything working fine (built in speaker/microphone) but i still have no sound on my headphones.

Look into ALCPlugFix.

Also...
Your kextcache output proves kexts are not installed correctly.
All kexts you need must be installed to the system volume.
Read post #2 of the Clover guide for details:

Thank you so much, after installing ALCPlugFix and using terminal command "hda-verb 0x19 0x707 0x20" headhphone jack is working fine (as an output). I still dont have the microphone of my headphone enable but i will look into that. My priority now is to find out how to add that command line to codeccommander in order to load it automatically.

About this, before i tried to install all my kext using a kext utility like kext wizard. The kexts actually works but i get a lot of corrupted kextcache output, so i had to fresh install and then i start using the kext>others folder inside my clover. They are working "fine" (the only problem that im facing right now is the audio). But i will try to install again the kext to the system volume, i hope i dont have kextcache issues like before.

Must use ALCPlugFix to send the verb.

Correct kext installation procedures are in the FAQ:
