Creative CA0132 codec discussion (Sound Core3D)

[tecnicasopr]

CodecCommander must be in /L/E, otherwise the commands will be executed too early and have no influence.
With this AppleALC you have to use layout-id 4, but on the screenshot I can see that you already using it.

I already installed CodecCommander to /L/E using layout-id 4 but no audio output yet. Only audio output through S/PDIF and HDMI. None of HP outputs and mic inputs are working...
I forgot to disable SIP. After disabling SIP and rebooting I still don't have analog audio output, only S/PDIF and HDMI audio. Both internal mics are working now but none of HP are...
Just in case I have latest macOS Catalina 10.15.1 (19B88).

If you have already fixed the permissions and rebuilt the cache and CodecCommander is loaded, try to clear the DSP. In addition, core audio is reloaded.
If it still does not work, copy the CodecCommander client hda-verb to /usr/local/bin and show me the output of the script

Yes, I did already fixed permissions and rebuilt the cache. I also made sure CodecCommander is loaded with following terminal command: kextstat | grep -v com.apple


I'll try to clear the DSP and report back soon...

I know this is not the AppleALC you uploaded, but I did use it, and after bad results I then tried again with this one. Don't worry I'll put back again the other one before testing again..

Here's the output of the script:

Can we ever get back to Creative Sound Blaster Z? It still doesn't work for me

Here's the output of the script:

Not the expected values. Can you rerun the script again after sleep? Run the clearDSP applet again.
Can you also show me the script output while the front HP is working? Does the switcher applet switch the HP on and off?



@anarki
Can you show me the bit mask from MMIO BAR2 base +320, you can run RU.efi in the shell. Choose the sound card BAR2 +0x320

I am not very confident in using RU.efi, but I hope I have done the necessary. If this is not what you need, then please tell me the sequence of actions.

That looks good, but we need BAR2 + 0x320. I think with Alt+7 you can enter the address manually. FBD00320

Thank. But again, I'm not sure that I did everything right. I get FF FF FF FF

I ran the script again after sleep and also while the front HP was working , both of them had the same result, but different from the first uploaded results... and Yes, the switcher applet switch the HP on but it didn't switch it off. This test worked only with SSDT-ZxRi_ALC.aml and layout 1. HP test didn't work with the SSDT-ZxRi.aml and layout-id 4 but both mics (rear and front) where working. With layout 1 both mic inputs where also working. Plugin in the HP automatically switches audio output from HDMI to HP but when doing the same thing with rear HP input the audio "tries" to switch also because audio signal stops comming out of HDMI output but nothing comes out of the rear HP output, even that plugin the cable in makes the audio stop from HDMI output...
This is the script output:
