Audio input not working on Sierra

[nir.s]

Hi,

I recently got Sierra working on my new Hackintosh. I installed the ALC1150 and 100 series audio drivers through MultiBeast. The Audio out works but I have no input (I make a lot of Skype / Hangout calls).

A weird observation - When I play some video, and I look in the Settings -> Sound -> Input, the input level shows signals when the video has sound. Basically, my system is taking my Out system as Input (Maybe this has got to do with me using a headphone with a splitter to plug into Line in and out?)

Hello! I have the same configuration and the same problem with the microphone.

Fail, remove.

Fail, remove.

The headset connector is shorting one of the L/R output channels to mic input channel. Identify TRRS pinout from manufacturer datasheet and purchase appropriate splitter from headset TRRS to stereo TRS (output) and mono TS (mic) jack.
