Audio Realtek ALC269 version

[lucasgabrmoreno]

Using this method in Linux:
cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#0 > ~/Desktop/codec0_info.txt

I've the following lines:
Codec: Realtek ALC269VC
Address: 0
AFG Function Id: 0x1 (unsol 1)
Vendor Id: 0x10ec0269
Subsystem Id: 0x1b0a2246
Revision Id: 0x100203

Now I know I've ALC296 VC

But how I know version? This card has 3:
ALC296 VC V1
ALC296 VC V2
ALC296 VC V3

I think it's 3, beacause of 0x100203, but there are 4 Revision Id listed in https://github.com/acidanthera/AppleALC/wiki/Supported-codecs
0x100203
0x100004
0x100202
0x100100

Thanks!

you can test all of these:
layout 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 27, 28, 29, 30, 32, 33, 35, 40, 44, 45, 47, 55, 58, 66, 76, 77, 88, 91, 93, 99, 100, 127, 128, 188

be sure to reset nvram when you try different ones!

Thank you!

But I don't need Layout-id, I need to know wich one is my version ALC269 VC:
ALC296 VC V1
ALC296 VC V2
ALC296 VC V3

To create Apple HDA Patched with: https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/files/file/496-applehda-patcher/

no, no...

no need for AppleHDA patcher nowadays

use AppleALC.kext along with your layout ID

I think I get it!!!


1° - Run in Linux this line:
cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#0 > ~/Desktop/codec0_info.txt
(in my case card1)

You will have something like this at first line:
Codec: Realtek ALC269VC

Now I know I've ALC269 VC


2° - Run in your Hackintosh > Apple HDA Patcher

Push "Show Jarvis"

Into the lines, in my case, I've something like this:
Found supported "layout-id = 7"

Looking into the info.plist ALC269 from AppleALC:
https://github.com/acidanthera/AppleALC/blob/master/Resources/ALC269/Info.plist

I've found that ALC269 with layout 7, is ALC269 VC V2:

<dict>
<key>Comment</key>
<string>Mirone Laptop patch ALC269-VC v2</string>
<key>Id</key>
<integer>7</integer>
<key>Path</key>
<string>layout7.xml.zlib</string>
</dict>


Thanks!!!

no! no need for AppleHDAPatcher software!

you will not be using this due to the lockdown on system kexts in later versions of macOS!!!

So, I use the official method: https://github.com/acidanthera/AppleALC/wiki/Installation-and-usage
(no appleHDA patched)
And it works!

Only a problem: layout-id 6 and 8 works, but can't have integrated mic working.
Speaker works, headphone audio and mic works.

6 is for V1 and 8 is for V3.
7 is for V2, but only headphones works.

Still trying with an official long number list ALC269:

yes, it will be a trial and error to test each number and test speakers, mic, headphone jack if you have one

wouldn't worry too much about V1, V2 etc as that is a bit irrelevant

Yes! Trial and error! And found it!

So, I was trying every Layout one by one, Speaker audio an Mic, Headphone audio and mic.

Results:

	Speaker		Headphone
Layout	Audio	Mic	Audio	Mic
1	NO	NO	NO	NO
2	NO	NO	NO	NO
3	NO	NO	NO	NO
4	NO	NO	NO	NO
5	NO	NO	NO	NO
6	YES	NO	YES	YES
7	NO	NO	YES	YES
8	YES	NO	YES	YES
9	NO	NO	NO	NO
10	NO	NO	YES	NO
11	NO	NO	NO	NO
12	YES	NO	NO	NO
13	NO	NO	NO	NO
14	NO	YES	YES	YES
15	NO	NO	NO	NO
16	NO	NO	NO	NO
17	NO	NO	YES	YES
18	YES	NO	YES	NO
19	NO	NO	NO	NO
20	YES	NO	YES	NO
21	NO	NO	NO	NO
22	NO	NO	NO	NO
23	YES	NO	YES	YES
24	YES	NO	YES	NO
27	NO	NO	NO	NO
28	YES	YES	YES	YES
29	YES	NO	YES	YES
30	NO	NO	NO	NO
32	NO	NO	YES	YES
33	YES	YES	YES	YES
35	YES	YES	YES	YES
40	YES	NO	YES	YES
44	YES	YES	YES	YES
45	NO	NO	NO	NO
47	NO	NO	NO	NO
55	YES	NO	YES	YES
58	YES	NO	YES	YES
66	YES	NO	YES	NO
76	NO	NO	NO	NO
77	YES	NO	YES	YES
88	YES	NO	YES	YES
91	NO	NO	YES	YES
93	NO	NO	NO	NO
99	NO	NO	NO	NO
100	NO	NO	YES	YES
127	NO	NO	NO	NO
128	YES	NO	YES	YES
188	YES	NO	YES	NO

I've got 4 results where everything works, and test them with decibels with Cristal sound, and bars of noise:

	Cristal Db	Noise bar
28	60	11
33	61	12
35	60	7
44	57	11

So layout-id=35 must be the best (or less worst)option, with half noise compared to others.

But applying noise filters, no problems!


Thanks!!!
