Guide to patch AppleHDA for your codec


Chapter 1: Getting Codec Information.


Intro: This guide is for those who want to use AppleHDA and / or trying to learn how it works. It is divided in to several steps and we will address each of them throughout the guide.


Step One: Getting Information from the codec. There are other ways but in this guide we will explain how to get to Linux. Using Ubuntu or another distro. (Note: Use the latest version of Linux and Alsa drivers)

in terminal type:

 

cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#1 > ~/Desktop/codec_dump.txt

or

cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#0 > ~/Desktop/codec_dump.txt

 

or if you prefer use zhell script:

 

cd ~/Desktop && mkdir CodecDump && for c in /proc/asound/card*/codec#*; do f="${c/\/*card/card}"; cat "$c" > CodecDump/${f//\//-}.txt; done && zip -r CodecDump.zip CodecDump

 

Save it in a safe place.

In OS X, we use the codec_dump for a graphical interface, convert it to decimal (I'll explain why later), get him codec verbs and correct them for OS X.


Download and install: http://www.graphviz.org/Download_macos.php (only version for Lion)


Download CodecGraph: http://helllabs.org/codecgraph/ , unzip it to desktop, copy the generated codec_dump.txt linux folder to CodeGraph then type in termainal:

 

cd ~/Desktop/codecgraph

 

and then:

 

./codecgraph codec_dump.txt

 

Step Two: Converting CodecGraph CodecDump and hexadecimal to decimal:


Download convert_hex_to_dec.rb.zip http://www.mediafire.com/?1ytbnh0zvfl Credits Munky . Unzip it in the same folder used previously (codecgraph) - In the terminal:


 

cd ~/Desktop/codecgraph 

chmod +x ./convert_hex_to_dec.rb

./convert_hex_to_dec.rb codec_dump.txt.svg > ~/Desktop/codecgraph/codec_dump_dec.txt.svg

 

* Replace "codec_dump.txt" with your user name and codec file (if you gave a specific name)

 

./convert_hex_to_dec.rb codec_dump.txt > ~/Desktop/codecgraph/codec_dump_dec.txt

 

* Replace "codec_dump.txt" with your user name and codec file (if you gave a specific name)


Step Three: For our standard onboard sound card be recognized by OS X must add the device to our HDEF DSDT.aml. For this we use the following patches: HDEF or AZAL to HDEF in both DTGP method has to be present in our DSDT.aml. We use the DSDT Editor to apply the patches correctly http://Olarila.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=646 The Patchs you find here http://Olarila.com/forum/patches.php This is a Audio Injection standard and should work for all codecs:

 

Device (HDEF)
           {
               Name (_ADR, 0x001B0000)
               Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized)
               {
                   Store (Package (0x04)
                       {
                           "layout-id",
                           Buffer (0x04)
                           {
                               0x0C, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00
                           },

                           "PinConfigurations",
                           Buffer (Zero) {}

                       }, Local0)
                   DTGP (Arg0, Arg1, Arg2, Arg3, RefOf (Local0))
                   Return (Local0)
               }
           }

 

Method (DTGP, 5, NotSerialized)
   {
       If (LEqual (Arg0, Buffer (0x10)
               {
                   /* 0000 */    0xC6, 0xB7, 0xB5, 0xA0, 0x18, 0x13, 0x1C, 0x44,
                   /* 0008 */    0xB0, 0xC9, 0xFE, 0x69, 0x5E, 0xAF, 0x94, 0x9B
               }))
       {
           If (LEqual (Arg1, One))
           {
               If (LEqual (Arg2, Zero))
               {
                   Store (Buffer (One)
                       {
                           0x03
                       }, Arg4)
                   Return (One)
               }

               If (LEqual (Arg2, One))
               {
                   Return (One)
               }
           }
       }

       Store (Buffer (One)
           {
               0x00
           }, Arg4)
       Return (Zero)
   }

 


Chapter 2: Correction AppleHDA.Kext


For the AppleHDA Work correctly for our codec we make some modifications in the same plists.

So what are these changes?


If you look at it (click the right mouse button / Show Package Contents), you will find in the Content folder of the main Info.plist (not touching it) and a folder plugins. There are plugins that we have to fix, but not all just Info.plist from this one:


1-AppleHDAController.kext

2-AppleHDAHardwareConfigDriver.kext

3-platform.xml and layout12.xml or Layout1.xml (in Folder Resources)

4-BinPatch


1-AppleHDAController.kext

(Click with the right mouse button / Show Package Contents) Open Plist with a Plist editor. http://www.osx86.net/downloads.php?do=file&id=3154

within IOKitPersonalities key change:

 

<key>IOPCIClassMatch</key>
<string>0x04020000&0xFFFE0000</string>

 

to:

 

<key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key>
<string>0x1c208086</string>

 

The 0x1c208086 is my device and Audio Vendor ID. Change according to your codec.

2-AppleHDAHardwareConfigDriver.kext


To edit this kext need to get configdata / CodecVerbs.

You can fix them in two ways, either manually or automatically using the script called Signal64 Verbit that performs the entire process automatically

requiring a few adjustments you can download it here: verbit.zip

Unzip it in the same folder codecgraph used previously. then Run this command in Terminal:

 

cd /Users/your_user_name/Desktop/codecgraph



and then:

 

./Verbit codec_dump.txt> verbs.txt

 

Note: You must delete the line codec_dump.txt: AFG Function Id: 0x1 (unsol 0)

Having done this codecgraph open the folder and you will see two files and another one called verbs.txt verbitdebug.txt.

verbit.texto is in our interest. For in him we find our configdata / CodecVerbs original and corrected tops underneath.

verbs.txt:

The codec used in the above example as you can see is a ALC887-VD was necessary to change only one of the external microphones.

To understand how these changes are made we need to go deeper.

So what is a codec verb?

For each input/output there is a sequence of 4 verbs.

Lets take an example from codec used before:



Its about NodeID(NID) 0x14 in hex, 20 in decimal:


The default verbs for it: 21471c10 21471d44 21471e01 21471f01

21471c10:

2471c10 = CAd (Codec Adress)

21471c10 = NID (NodeID)

21471c10 = Verb Commands like 71"c" then "d", "e" ,"f"

21471c10 = Verb Data

And the same for the rest.


I think Cad, NID and Verb Commands are pretty simple to figure out: first 2 you get them from linux dump, and commands are standard 71c, 71d, 71e, 71f.

Lets see about verb data:


- 71cXY X=Default Association Y=Sequence


Default Association and Sequence are used together by software to group Pin Complexes (and therefore jacks) together into functional blocks to support multichannel operation. Software may assume that all jacks with the same association number are intended to be grouped together, for instance to provide six channel analog output. The Default Association can also be used by software to prioritize resource allocation in constrained situations. Lower Default Association values would be higher in priority for resources such as processing nodes or Input and Output Converters. Note that this is the default association only, and software can override this value if required, in particular if the user provides additional information about the particular system configuration. A value of 0000b is reserved and should not be used. Software may interpret this value to indicate that the Pin Configuration data has not been properly initialized. A value of 1111b is a special value indicating that the Association has the lowest priority. Multiple different Pin Complexes may share this value, and each is intended to be exposed as independent devices.


Sequence indicates the order of the jacks in the association group. The lowest numbered jack in the association group should be assigned the lowest numbered channels in the stream, etc. The numbers need not be sequential within the group, only the order matters. Sequence numbers within a set of Default Associations must be unique.


*My notes for this, if you look on the vanilla codec verb(no matter what codec) you will see that Sequence is always 0.

Why that, and why for us on our codec verbs is different? Simple b/c Apple dosen't have multichannel analog out! so you must change it to 0.


*About Default Association, Keep the default one, in order, and on those that are the same replace them with new one that dosen't exist already in the dump... the values you can use are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, a, b, c, d and f.(see what does verbit if you still don't understand)

Black 1 
Grey 2
Blue 3 
Green 4
Red 5
Orange 6

Misc is a bit field used to indicate other information about the jack. Currently, only bit 0 is defined. If bit 0 is set, it indicates that the jack has no presence detect capability, so even if a Pin Complex indicates that the codec hardware supports the presence detect functionality on the jack, the external circuitry is not capable of supporting the functionality.

Reserved 3

Reserved 2

Reserved 1

Jack Detect Override 0


*Use 0 for Jack Detect - External Device(e.g. Headphones Mic etc)

Use 1 for Jack Detect Disabled - Internal Device(e.g. Internal speakers, Internal mic)


71eXY X=Default Device Y=Connection Type


Default Device indicates the intended use of the jack or device. This can indicate either the label on the jack or the device that is hardwired to the port, as with integrated speakers and the like.

71fXY X=Port Connectivity Y=Location


Port Connectivity indicates the external connectivity of the Pin Complex. Software can use this value to know what Pin Complexes are connected to jacks, internal devices, or not connected at all.

00b - The Port Complex is connected to a jack (1/8", ATAPI, etc.).

01b - No physical connection for Port.

10b - A fixed function device (integrated speaker, integrated mic, etc.) is attached.

11b - Both a jack and an internal device are attached. The Information provided in all other fields refers to the integrated device. The PD pin will reflect the status of the jack; the user will need to be queried to figure out what it is.


Location indicates the physical location of the jack or device to which the pin complex is connected. This allows software to indicate, for instance, that the device is the “Front Panel Headphone Jack” as opposed to rear panel connections.


*Details:

Convert the 2 digit hex number to binary.

Pad the front with zero's to make it 8 dgits.

Thanks again to Signal64 for his VerbCheatSheet

*All info came from High Definition Audio Specification Read it for more details!


Conclusion:

The script does a great job, still not perfect as it does not know what are our options ... perhaps a GUI application may be added in the future.

So that those options may be?

- you may want to setup mic as internal to get ambient noise reduction for it.

- some codecs have only line outs same trick can apply and you can set first output as speaker and get as an option software dsp for it.

- for front panel support you may need to transform back mic in line in.

And so on ...

Now that we got all necessary information about configdata / CodecVerbs we edit the info.plist of AppleHDAHardwareConfigDriver.kext.


Editing AppleHDAHardwareConfigDriver.kext (Info.plist)

(Click with the right mouse button / Show Package Contents) Open Plist with a Plist editor.

Navigate to the key IOKitPersonalities / HDA Hardware Config ResourceHDAConfigDefault.


1-CodecID: Put the ID of your codec in Numbers 0x10ec0887 Decimal (Hexadecimal) -> 283 904 135 (Decimal)

2-configdata: Here we put our configdata / Verbs codec that previously corrected.

3-FuncGroup: Must always be 1.

4-LayoutID: By default is 12 but can be any other number provided that you also change the number of layout on your DSDT.aml

* NOTE: In the Mountain Lion kexts so we can use a layout that already has in itself no kext and others like layout887.xml as was used in the Lion kexts.

4YORm4j.png


3 - Editing and platform.xml layout12.xml or Layout1.xml (Folder Resources)

This is the trickiest part.

Within the Resources folder you will find several layouts.xml and a Platforms.xml.

You'll edit both according to the previous corrections ie in AppleHDAHardwareConfigDriver.kext use the layout12 so let's make the necessary edits on this.


1-CodecID: Put the ID of your codec in Numbers 0x10ec0887 Decimal (Hexadecimal) -> 283 904 135 (Decimal)

2-PathMapID: Change to 1

* Note: Exclude MuteGPIO, SignalProcessing of all keys.

mcmFivO.png

What we had to fix in Layout12.xml is already completed.

Now we edit the Platforms.xml is here that lies the pathmaps. Within Key Pathmaps there are other keys

which are numbered and each corresponds to a specific layout.xml eg use within the same layout12.xml has a key with pathmap Id = 1.

In the example we are using a codec ALC887-VD have 4 outputs and 2 audio inputs. Totaling 6 devices.

For output devices, the PathMap follows this pattern:

Pin Complex (NodeID) -> Audio Mixer-> Audio Output

So we have to find a node Pin Complex (NodeID), a node Audio Mixer and finally an audio output node.

For input devices, the PathMap follow this pattern:

Pin-Complex (NodeID)> Selector/Mixer- Audio Input> Audio

Here, we have to find a node Pin Complex (NodeID), an audio mixer / selector node and finally a node of audio input.

Open the file in the folder generated codec_dump_dec.txt.svg codegraph you will see something like this:

hktJVqX.png

note 20 (Pin Complex) -> 12 (node ​​Audio Mixer) -> 2 (Audio output node)

from there we have already formed our pathmap lineout to (in the case node20 is an internal speaker).

We will do the same for the rest of our pathmaps.

Note: Note that in the screenshot attached above you can see that the lines are continuous connections of nodes.

OVrVIEW.png

An example of Pathmaps to Mic (External):

note 24 (Pin Complex) -> 35 (node ​​Audio Mixer) -> 9 (Audio output node)

Note: Usually starts unlike 9 -> 34 -> 24

E1hR4G7.png


The pathmaps codec for example were used as well:

9-34-24 = External Mic

9-34-25 = External Mic Front

8-35-26 = Line Out

2-12-20 = Internal Speakers

27-38-37 = Phone

23-15-5 = Line Out

22-14-4 = Line Out

23-13-3 = Line Out

30-6 = Digital Output


4-BinPatch:


Starting with version 10.6.3 of Snow Leopard was also necessary to correct the binary file of Applehda.kext it is within the MacOs folder that sits inside the Kext to make this correction we will use the script done by bcc9.

patch-hda.zip

 

Copy the folder to your desktop and already with Applehda.kext edits and installed in S / L / E type the following commands in Terminal:

 

cd ~/desktop/patch-hda
./patch-hda.pl 10ec0887

 

* Note: Open the folder hda-patch and then patch the file-hda-codecs.pl inside it is all supported codecs

the script for more information: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/284004-script-to-patch-applehda-binary-for-osx107108/

A tip if your codec is not supported by the script you can try to fix manually using a binary editor and replace HexFiend as one of the codecs used to correct for yours.

In the example above has been corrected for the binary codec ALC887-VD if you fix your codec is needed to replace the 10ec0887 the id of your codec.

In the binary they are written from right to esuerda ie = 10ec0887 8708ec10.

* Important: The Mountain Lion's kext has a new structure and the files are compressed in. Zlib

to unpack and edit these files will use the script RevoGirl (RIP).

Script RevoGirl AppleHda.zip

Copy the script zlib.pl to Desktop as Platforms.xml.zlib and layout12.xml.zlib found within Applehda.kext / Resources and terminal run the following commands: 

cd ~ / desktop 
perl zlib.pl inflate layout12.xml.zlib> layout12.xml (Unzip) 
perl zlib.pl deflate layout12.xml> layout12.xml.zlib (compress) 

perl zlib.pl inflate Platforms.xml.zlib> Platforms.xml (Unzip) 
perl zlib.pl deflate Platforms.xml> Platforms.xml.zlib (compress)

Kext used as an example for this guide: http://www.sendspace.com/file/tbfthk

Folder with all the necessary tools for editing and some kexts Applehda.kext several original versions of OS X: http://www.sendspace.com/file/kemzwt

21-16-3-->Speaker

20-15-2-->Phone

7-36-25-->Mic Int.

8-35-24-->Mic Ext.

Note: For notebooks is necessary to add a codecverbs to the EAPD.

in your case would 01570C02.

 

Hello Mirone, thanks so much for the help... you are losing me mate what is EAPD??? do you mean binary patching of applehda??? a little more help :D

My soundcard is a realtek ALC268 if that is any help......

External Amplifier Power DownEAPD Application Note

Definition:

The term EAPD stands for External Amplifier Power Down. Logical Operation:

Although named External Amplifier Power Down by the Intel HD Audio Specification, this signal logically operates as an external amplifier POWER UP signal. A logic 1 on this signal is meant to cause an external amplifier to power up and a logic 0 is meant to cause an external amplifier to power down.

Ok i think i got what EAPD is... but where i have to put it, i mean is a key with value 0 in platform.xml???

this value is a codec verbs.

example

01471c10 01471d40 01471e01 01471f01

are codecVerbs to node 20 which has EAPD EAPD if necessary

had to have an extra codecverb would 01470C02.

Hi guys,


I trying to patch on my self AppleHDA.kext but I can't get working the front microphone. I tried several ways modifying the config data and/or the platform.xml and/or layoutxx.xml. On my mb (ga-h61m-s2pv rev. 2, FD bios) I got 3 classical jacks (line in, line out, mic) and 2 jacks on chassis (headphones and mic). Everything works fine except the front microphone.

It seems that it doesn't like the microphones...if change the pin config value on 71eXY from 81 (line out) to A1 (microphone) I lose 1 or more IN connections. This is my current config data:


<21171CF0 21171D00 21171E00 21171F40 21271CF0 21271D00 21271E00 21271F40 21471C10 21471D40 21471E01 21471F01 21571CF0 21571D00 21571E00 21571F40 21671CF0 21671D00 21671E00 21671F40 21771CF0 21771D00 21771E00 21771F40 21871C50 21871D90 21871E81 21871F01 21971C60 21971D90 21971E81 21971F02 21A71C30 21A71D30 21A71E81 21A71F01 21B71C20 21B71D40 21B71E21 21B71F01 21C71CF0 21C71D00 21C71E00 21C71F40 21D71C40 21D71D00 21D71E04 21D71F40 21E71CF0 21E71D00 21E71E00 21E71F40 21F71CF0 21F71D00 21F71E00 21F71F40 21470C02 21B70C02>


In bold are:

Node 18: rear MIC

Node 19: front MIC

Node 1A: line IN


This is what I see on System Preferences:

fopop.png35k91ja.png


Also I noticed that I have a "sound assertion" in my kernel log:


Mar 10 12:59:57 Renatos-Mac-Pro kernel[0]: Sound assertion - Command/Response TIMED OUT and ( kRequestStateMatch == fCodecRequest->state = 2 ), fCodecRequest->command->codec: -549454577664, fCodecRequest->command->verb: 0xFFF, fPoweredDown: 0

Mar 10 12:59:57 Renatos-Mac-Pro kernel[0]: Sound assertion "0 != executeCodecCommand ( fCodecList[addr], command, &response )" failed in AppleHDAController at line 7633 goto handler


Does anybody can help me?

[d]Thank you very much @Mirone, this evening I'll give a try and I'll let you know!!

Bye[/d]


OLD UPDATE:

@Mirone no good news...I my several attempts (I forgot it!) I had already tested this combination and it doesn't work. This evening I will give a try on ML, now I'm testing on SL (they are both installed on same machine). I'll let you know, thanks.


UPDATE:

@Mirone still no good news...

I ported my kext on ML but nothing changed:

1. It only accept "line-in" value on config data (81). using "mic" (A1) the input source disappears.

2. Still no sound from the front line-in... :shock:

It's been 4 days since I'm trying to make the OS X 10.8.3 running on my Lenovo B590 laptop.


Managed so far:


- Clover UEFI booting, using patched dsdt.aml.

- Intel HD4000 working due to dsdt.aml patching.

- Realtek 

[RTL81xx@0x2000:rtl8168_init_board] NIC identified as RTL8168E-VL/8111E-VL (mcfg=16)

- a bit buggy but it's good enough.

- VoodooPS2 and VoodooBattery for keyboard/touchpad and battery. All working fine.

- Native speedsteping and sleep due to dsdt.aml patching. Though I find a bit weird the following

WARNING: IOPlatformPluginUtil : getCPUIDInfo: this is an unknown CPU model 0x3a
-- power management may be incomplete or unsupported

 

Well, all good so far, just untill I get to the ALC269VC Realtek sound board.

I've been reading and trying the tutorials for patching but I came to no success, mainly due to the fact that I don't fully comprehend the terminology used... I'm a bit dumb, I know .


SO:


got myself codec_dump from linux mint 14

converted to dec

got myself regedit keys from windows, converted them

got around to parse the linux codec_dump so to get the verbs list (which is awfully weird)


started patching and I managed in getting a kernel panic .


For the moment, due to dsdt.aml, in system information:

Can anyone help me in getting the sound going?

Attaching the original .kext, codec_dumps, verbs, dsdt.aml + dmesg export (a few weird things over there too).


The annoying thing ---> in iAktos ML2 sound works with AppleHDA.kext. If I extract from the install DVD that kext and install it here, nothing works.


I'm grateful for any ideas that pop up. I don't mind patching the damned thing myself, but I don't know where in the hell I screw up.


EDIT:


SPECS:

Intel I5-3210M - 2,5GHz

Intel HD4000 (VGA+HDMI)

4GB RAM

ALC2629VC (Sound)


(USB 3.0 not working)

kextstat -k was saying AppleHDA.kext, and I must be honest, at the moment I did not look for the enabler cause the sound was working. With the iAktos the video was my biggest problem.


I'll be searching later in the day on the DVD if i can find the EnablerHDA.kext (I'm shure that it ain't in S/L/E on the DVD), or the VoodooHDA.kext.


I trully hope that I wont get a kernel panic, again, cause this means that I have to wipe the HDD all over again :lol:

It won't proceed to install after windows was booted. :evil:
