Internal speakers / sleep not working

[stredwizard]

First and foremost I'd like to thank the author for this amazing repo, after struggling with clover on this laptop a couple of years ago this was an absolute breeze!

as I said I had clover on this machine X230 i5 intel 6205 a couple of years ago but switched it back to windows for various reasons, everything worked well.

I managed to get the wifi working thanks to an issue that was raised on here.

the built in camera worked in clover for FaceTime, also the mic does not work and the built in speakers also although when connected to the dock the line out works just fine.

also when I close the lid the laptop does not sleep and if I put it to sleep in the Mac menu it sleeps for a while then wakes.

I'm pretty sure I've followed the instructions to the letter I have a feeling the majority of the issues are USB port mapping related but not 100%

any ideas?

I have a similar issue - if I use MacBookPro* profiles, I can get wifi and sleep working OK. But no bluetooth.

If I use iMac19,1, wifi and bluetooth works OK, but no sleep - it wakes immediately.

When I run pmset -g log | grep -e "Sleep.*due to" -e "Wake.*due to" | tail
I get DarkWake from Normal Sleep [CDN] : due to IGBE HDEF/Network - search shows one similar thread from 2020 with no solution.

Which profile are you using and what does this command output for you?

[stredwizard]

I'm using the MacBookpro9,1 profile, I have wifi and bluetooth working now and changed my audio layout to 28 which gives me mic but still no internal speakers.

the command gives me:-

2021-08-07 20:45:20 +0100 Sleep Entering Sleep state due to 'Clamshell Sleep': Using Batt (Charge:59%) 11 secs
2021-08-07 20:45:31 +0100 DarkWake DarkWake from Hibernate [CDN] : due to IGBE HDEF/Network Using BATT (Charge:58%) 15 secs
2021-08-07 20:45:46 +0100 Wake DarkWake to FullWake from Hibernate [CDNVA] : due to HID Activity Using BATT (Charge:58%) `

this is just me closing the lid, I've also noticed my battery charge indicator seems to stay on all the time which seems to have a tie with the output of the command referencing BATT

if I use sleep from the Mac menu I get this:-
2021-08-07 20:50:59 +0100 Sleep Entering Sleep state due to 'Software Sleep pid=120': Using Batt (Charge:50%) 10 secs

going to do some googling now!

also when I close the lid the laptop does not sleep and if I put it to sleep in the Mac menu it sleeps for a while then wakes.

In the T530 repo there was a SSDT-Sleep_PRW-0D6D.aml with description Fixes instant wake issue when entering Sleep Mode. Try the EFI here
Lenovo T530 OC 0.7.2 v2.0.zip

Bluetooth and Wifi work in Monterey. Sleep from the Apple menu also works. For another OS you should use the OS-specific AirportItlwm.kext to get Wifi working, but sleep works OK in Catalina, Big Sur and Monterey.

[LubosKolouch]

So you have the same reason for waking... Please post if you find something useful (i did not so far).

[Jan-E]

Try the EFI in #66 (comment)
Sleep works. Wifi and Bluetooth for another OS than Monterey requires some adjustments. Maybe you should also change the csr-active-config (near the bootargs) to the OS-specific value. The config.plist contains the values for all recent macOS versions.

[stredwizard]

Tbh I’m pretty hesitant to move from Catalina, the machine is notably slower when compared to Windows 10 and moving up to big sur I’m guessing will only make this more noticeable.

im going to disable usbinjectall today to see if that helps with the sleep, I only enabled it to get the Bluetooth working although that could be a coincidence?

[stredwizard]

Have done some port mapping with Hackintool and got the Internal video camera working and the bluetooth so no need for USBInjectAll any longer, sleep is the final hurdle.

I tried the SSDT-Sleep_PRW-0D6D.aml as suggested but no dice, I'm not 100% sure I used it the correct way, I just copied it to my EFI/ACPI folder and added the entry in config.plist.

I also tried to incorporate 'SSDT-Sleep_PRW-0D6D.aml' in the EFI from this repo with no luck. In the end I switched to the EFI from the T350 repo and added some things like YogaSMC.

I can switch now between Catalina, Big Sur and Monterey. There is no notable speed difference. I was playing a Olympics stream on Monterey and the PBS 'auto-sensed' it could do that on 1080p, higher than my 1366x768 px LCD.
In the beginning it is somewhat slow, because Spotlight is indexing everything, but when that is done it feels snappy.

[Jan-E]

This is the EFI I am using for Monterey now: EFI.zip

It is based on the T350 repo. Bluetooth, Wifi and Sleep work on Monterey beta 4, but when booting to Catalina or Big Sur you will get no bluetooth or Wifi. Sleep still works on another macOS. There is some support for YogaSMC. For instance it reads my battery thresholds.

[Jan-E]

O, I always used external USB speakers in Monterey. Just discovered that the internal speakers did not work in the copy of T350 repo. Did not yet check the mic and the camera.

[Jan-E]

From the changelog:

Updated audio layout-id to 55 support for Dock Station Audio Port (UltraBase Series 3, Mini Dock Plus Series 3).

layout-id set to 55 (or <37000000>.as hex) in the device properties of PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x1b,0x0) made the internal mic and speakers work for me.

[Jan-E]

Could you share what you did exactly?

Mine was originally set to 55 , i will try it again this evening.

I followed this guide https://hackintosher.com/forums/thread/solved-usb-inject-all-kext-is-causing-issues.1426/

[Jan-E]

On Big Sur and Monterey the camera-indicator lights green, but the recording stays all black. Only on Catalina the camera records really what it sees. Hackintool does not show any indication of a USB camera. On which macOS are you testing this?

[stredwizard]

I’m using Catalina

[Jan-E]

Easy way to create the USB Port mappings.

In terminal:

cd ~/Documents
git clone https://github.com/corpnewt/USBMap
cd USBMap
chmod +x USBMap.command

From Finder: double-click on USBMap.command

D. Discover Ports
Q, enter
P. Edit & Create USBMap.kext
A. Select All
K. Build USBMap.kext: USBMap.kext is created
Press [enter] to return to the menu...
Q. Quit

Copy USBMap.kext to the Kexts folder of your EFI
Enable USBMap.kext in Kernel > Add of your Config.plist
Be sure to leave the ExecutablePath empty
See corpnewt/USBMap#23

[Jan-E]

Apparently my X230t i7 3520M has a different camera than your X230. This is in Catalina, after adding USBMap.kext. The integrated camera works OK:

[Jan-E]

The camera works OK now in Catalina and Big Sur. But in Monterey beta 4 it lights the green indicator of the webcam, but the recording stays all black.

[Jan-E]

The strange thing is that the port is mapped by USBMap.kext:

[#] 17. AppleUSB20HubPort | AppleUSB20HubPort |  6 (06000000) | 1a160000 | Type 0
    - Integrated Camera

[stredwizard]

I updated to Big Sur this morning, everything works as before with the exception of sleep, which didn't work before anyway.

Had to change the Intel Wifi kext back to the one included in this repo and when I try and make the machine sleep it still doesn't of course but the wifi is disabled and requires a toggle and it comes back,I can live with that!

just need to sort the sleep issue........

[k4kanwar]

I am also unable to get audio even with the proper associated Layout ID : 18 or 55 on x230T (tablet i7 version) everything else seems to be working with minor other issues.

I have tried the dortania guide and no results. I do not see any way to proceed. Can someone help. Am I supposed to share my EFI folder?

[k4kanwar]

Team I have understood the issue that is why we are unable to get speakers volume and mic etc.

In my case i was using the config file that I prepared using the efi installer and then modified that one for the final one after post install.

Because of this, I was missing essential patches and kexts maybe too due to which some hardware components were not working.

I advise everyone to pick the one for post install and simply update it with your genbios details and then save it as default using the entire folder that @banhbaoxamlan has given.

Best Regards,

[Jan-E]

Maybe it is just a missing or wrong PCI definition in the DeviceProperties > Add
This one works for me in Monterey. Pay special attention to the key PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x1b,0x0)

I borrowed it from the T530 repo.

[k4kanwar]

also do you feel the volume is very low compared to windows with Dolby settings. I downloaded a cracked application called boom 3d and it works wonders now.

I can share it with you if you want.

Is your keyboard backlight working?? can you help me with that?

[Jan-E]

Internal sound volume seems low, but I always have USB speakers attached. So I do not mind. But please share the boom 3d app.

Backlight is working OK with this SSDT-PNLF.aml:
SSDT-PNLF.aml.zip
I also have a bootarg applbkl=1, but I am not sure it is really needed.

[k4kanwar]

that ssdt is for keyboard backlight?

[Jan-E]

This is how it was described in the T530 repo:

<dict>
	<key>Comment</key>
	<string>Adds Backlight Level Control</string>
	<key>Enabled</key>
	<true/>
	<key>Path</key>
	<string>SSDT-PNLF.aml</string>
</dict>

If I disassemble it with MaciASL the source starts with:

DefinitionBlock ("", "SSDT", 2, "ACDT", "PNLF", 0x00000000)
{
    External (_SB_.PCI0.IGPU, DeviceObj)
    External (RMCF.BKLT, IntObj)
    External (RMCF.FBTP, IntObj)
    External (RMCF.GRAN, IntObj)
    External (RMCF.LEVW, IntObj)
    External (RMCF.LMAX, IntObj)

    If (_OSI ("Darwin"))
    {
        Scope (\_SB.PCI0.IGPU)
        {
            OperationRegion (RMP3, PCI_Config, Zero, 0x14)
            Device (IGPU)
            {
                Name (_HID, EisaId ("APP0002"))  // _HID: Hardware ID
                Name (_CID, "backlight")  // _CID: Compatible ID
                Name (_UID, 0x0E)  // _UID: Unique ID
                Name (_STA, 0x0B)  // _STA: Status
......

Just try it after saving your original SSDT-PNLF.aml

[Jan-E]

In this repo the description is:

	<key>Comment</key>
	<string>Smooth Brightness Adjustment</string>
	<key>Enabled</key>
	<true/>
	<key>Path</key>
	<string>SSDT-PNLF.aml</string>

And the source is much briefer:

DefinitionBlock ("", "SSDT", 2, "X230", "PNLF", 0x00000000)
{
    External (_SB_.PCI0.VID_, DeviceObj)

    Scope (_SB.PCI0.VID)
    {
        OperationRegion (RMP3, PCI_Config, Zero, 0x14)
    }

    Scope (_SB)
    {
        Device (PNLF)
        {
            Name (_HID, EisaId ("APP0002"))  // _HID: Hardware ID
            Name (_CID, "backlight")  // _CID: Compatible ID
            Name (_UID, 0x0E)  // _UID: Unique ID
            Method (_STA, 0, NotSerialized)  // _STA: Status

See https://github.com/acidanthera/OpenCorePkg/blob/master/Docs/AcpiSamples/Source/SSDT-PNLF.dsl for the annotated source.

[k4kanwar]

Yes but I wanted to confirm is this for keyboard back light only or for display or both?
My display has proper Back light control but the keyboard does not.
I'm using I'vy rain bios exploit.

Also can you share your whatsapp number in DM for further details.

I will share with you link for boom 3d from Google drive okay?

[Jan-E]

I checked and disabled all *.aml ACPI entries. The keyboard backlight still worked with three levels: off, low, high. So it is not any aml-file that does the trick. This is the EFI I am using at the moment for Monterey, which can be used as well to boot into Catalina and Big Sur: EFI.zip

In Catalina, Big Sur and Monterey the Fn+Space key toggles the backlight of the keyboard. The only things that do not work in Monterey are the Webcam and playing DRM-protected video in Safari. DRM-protected video in Chrome works fine, probably because Chrome uses software for DRM. Video acceleration works OK, but DRM not yet. The *-override kexts are recent additions in an attempt to get DRM working.

The above link is to Boom 3d which helped resolve the low volume issue on my laptop. It also increases sound quality over headphones too.

Because I spent so much time searching for answers to my sleep problem I thought id come back and post my fix.

I tried initially with the sleep wake patch 'SSDT-Sleep_PRW-0D6D.aml' but didn't put the renames in my config.plist, when I did realise this was needed, I used 0D06 as suggested but still no sleep, I then Googled for a while (2 weeks!) discovered this post and after looking at my DSDT.aml realised I needed to patch 0D04 and not 0D06.

My audio problem with no speakers is a hardware issue unfortunately, so not quite a perfect hack!
