Adding audio codec AppleALC

Status
Not open for further replies.
I was using VoodooHDA on my old socket 1156 system / ALC888. Sound quality was acceptable, but with occasional ticks/pops. I just installed Lilu (1.3.1) and AppleALC (1.3.4) after setting layout-id = 1 in my DSDT. Audio is crystal clear with no pops/ticks.

Code:
                Device (HDEF)
                {
                Name (_ADR, 0x001B0000)
                Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized)
                {
                    Store (Package (0x08)
                    {
                        "codec-id",
                        Buffer ()
                        {
                            0x88, 0x08, 0xEC, 0x10
                        },
                        "layout-id",
                        Buffer ()
                        {
                            0x01, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00
                        },
                        "device-type",
                        Buffer ()
                        {
                            "Realtek ALC888"
                        },
                        "PinConfigurations",
                        Buffer () {}
                    }, Local0)
                    DTGP (Arg0, Arg1, Arg2, Arg3, RefOf (Local0))
                    Return (Local0)
                }
            }

Not a new codec, AppleALC has supported ALC888 since initial release

Hi All, this is my first post on here.

I am currently using an ASUS TUF Z390M-Pro Gaming motherboard running the latest Mojave 10.14.6 using the vanilla method and everything is working perfectly... except Mic input.

My motherboard uses the S1200A audio chipset and only has 3 physical back ports (blue, green, pink) so set my config up to use "layout 3".
Output works perfectly via the front and back green jacks and even over the DP and HDMI ports.

The problem is input! No matter what layout I use (1,2 or 3) the Mic port front or rear is no good. (tried "Line In" as well but no good)
Layout 3 seems to be the closest if I use the rear Mic jack and turn the mic volume to the max the Mic works (barely) but there is so much hiss and static it's unusable.

Currently I'm just using the Mic on my Logitech C922 webcam as a workaround but it would be nice if the motherboard Mic worked as well. Does anyone have their Mic input working on this motherboard or the S1200A chipset?

I'm currently using AppleALC.kext => Identifier: as.vit9696.AppleALC | Version: 1.3.9

Cheers,
Zac
