[alsa-devel] mic on macbook air
by Reimundo 27 Sep '10

27 Sep '10

Hello list, from time to time I spend some time trying to get the mic working on a Macbook air 2,1. I tried looking at the relevant info from the corresponding kernel extensions on mac os X. The codec has "Vendor Id: 0x10ec0885" so the relevant part of the info.plist on mac os X reads <dict> <key>MicAttributes</key> <integer>28</integer> <key>MicInfo</key> <string>Sampled on rising edge</string> <key>NodeID</key> <integer>39</integer> <key>PinConfigDefault</key> <integer>2426405136</integer> </dict> Which tells me nothing. In particular I don't have a node 0x27=39 (at least not that hda-analyzer sees) so it's not surprising that if I send the corresponding verbs to set_config_default I don't get anything. Also, I don't see how setting the pinconfigdefault could affect my not having the mic working (anyway I tried setting those pinconfigdefaults that put the node as a fixed mic on all nids 0x19-0x1c to no avail) As for the sampled on rising edge, I don't know how to use this info. any ideas? Thanks, R.

by Sebastian H. 26 Sep '10

26 Sep '10

Hello everyone I've been working on Alsamixer-Qt4 lately and compiled the changes into a new release version 0.4.0. Most importantly the cards list can be refreshed now and the style got a little overhaul, too. A more detailed changelog can be found at the xwmw.org page. The new version 0.4.0 is available at the known places. http://xwmw.org/alsamixer-qt4/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/alsamixer-qt4/files/ Any comments are welcome. Cheers, Sebastian
