[need help] audio fix for alc275, no kexts all in dsdt

[Lord_Richard_2]

I want to get my audio working for alc275 on my laptop.

I want to avoid using a modified kext (for stability with updates and such).

I have done the following:

Extracted my codec verbs and obtained by pin configuration data.

I also have my dsdt and common edits but am having confusion with HDEF section i have to edit.

Where do i obtain the following info:

codec-id (it is based off of data taken form hardware vender and device id from windows device manager menu and rearranged into hex)

layout-id (it is always 12 in hex as that is defined in apple's audio kext)

device-type (this is where the name of device is given)

I also want to directly put in pin config info, but am unsure how and where to put it and what formatting is needed. Here is my pin config data:

Here is the layout of the HDEF section i am using (replacing relevant data where applicable):

}, Local0)

Return (Local0)

}

Here is the hardware id strings from device manager:

HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_0275&SUBSYS_104D4F00

I have 2 devices listed under device manager, do i have to somehow accomodate both devices in my dsdt?

I have looked at the following posts and am still confused on the "format" of data to put into the dsdt and what i all need to avoid a "hacked" kext:

Impossible, you will always need a patched kext.

[Lord_Richard_2]

Ok, well can you help with the dsdt part then?

[Cassio]

DSDT part depends on patched kext http://Olarila.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=385

Which LayoutID are you using?

[Lord_Richard_2]

I am using the entry for 12. (that is default)

I am confused on how to get the other info. I know it involves the hardware device and vender but you have to manipulate those somehow to get the codec-Id and such....

How do I put in my pin configuration data into dsdt (to have least data in hacked kext) as i dont know format it has to be an can't find a reliable dsdt example with this data in it.

[Cassio]

You don't need it, right layout-id is enough, PinConfigurations can be left blank.

I want to put pin configuration inside dsdt to avoid putting it in kext or a plst. The layout Id should pair to the kext and load pin configuration data to know how to interface with card...
