Creative CA0132 codec discussion (Sound Core3D)

[wern]

Could you suggest me a sequence of actions to perform?
I tried to run a sound card in the latest ubuntu distribution. The card is correctly detected by the system, the inputs change depending on the click in the connector. But there is no sound either. Therefore, Linux, probably, will not help us with BAR2 either. Right?

As I said, I'm not sure if the SSDT is right. Is the highlighted device name XHDA

Hackintool has an option to generate Audio Codec Info:

Also Clover can dump Audio Codec pressing on F8 at boot time. I wonder if the results are the same or as good and accurate as the windows dump? Anyway here is the attach file of the windows audio codec dump.
I used the terminal command:
codesign --verify /System/Library/Extensions/AppleHDA.kext
AppleHDA.kext is fine.

Output of kextcache -i:

A codecdump will not help us, it's all about the mixer which is not documented by Creative, but it should work with the latest SSDT and AppleALC. If possible, perform a clean install on a spare drive and try it there.

I will try to check it out tomorrow. Today I am 24 hours at work

This changes to HDEF only if i use AppleALС. In all other cases, it is not renamed and looks like in the screenshot that you showed

Do not use AppleALC nor the disabler. Try this SSDT

This is beautiful.
Now Voodoo?
If so, then everything is still the same: the microphone works. Other jacks do not play sound. Optics also have no sound.

The pin control of the 1st line-out is off, try c/sub and the rears. But we still do not know if the BAR2 bits are set correctly.

I tried all the jacks, optics and jacks on the front panel. Nothing works except the microphone
UPD: but I have not tried kext from your post yet

UPD2: Only the microphone still works. Be sure that I checked the signal on all the jacks.
I attach files

In terms of dumps, the mixer looks ok, but since c/sub and the rears do not work, it could be the mixer as well. We also do not know if the SSDT works. I think we need a way to read the BAR2 values.
