What layout are you using? I actually was thinking of boosting the microphone for myself (layout 1).

No, because I'd rather try different layouts first. E.g. Mirone's 5. Could you tell me if 5th layout has any issues including the microphone thing? I can see Boost1 there, which means it has +10 dB by default.

I tried Layout 1 and 7, in addition to a small microphone sound other than the normal.

Well, if maxing the level in Preferences does not solve the issue (it does for me), I guess you could unpack PlatformsM.xml.zlib with zlip.pl (see Tools folder):
zlib.pl inflate PlatformsM.xml.zlib > PlatformsM.xml
and increase Boost on 24th and 25th nodes by finding
<key>Boost</key>
<integer>1</integer>
and replacing 1 with 2 or 3.
To pack it back use:
zlib.pl deflate PlatformsM.xml > PlatformsM.xml.zlib
Recompile kext afterwards and try layout 5 or 7.

In preference which has the microphone at maximum volume is still the same , well thank you , I will try the method you said .

thank you very much for your help. Microphone volume already has improved. Pre-volume or too small, do not know where there is need to amend,Now use Boost 3, layout 7.

I committed mic-boosted microphone layout 11 for 1150. It can be used now out of the box.

Hello, @vit9696 !
I have the same problem with mic input gain, but i really need help with boosting it's volume.
I have ALC 887 and use layout 11, that's best for my setup.
I've downloaded AppleALC sources, went to Resources/ALC887.

What file should i edit? @Meow1688 edited this file: PlatformsM.xml.zlib. Will it be the same in my case? And the most difficult for me to understand, how to figure out Node id i should edit "Boost" key?
I want my "Internal speaker" (green back output) volume boost too.

Many thanks in advance! Sorry for opening old issue, have a nice day!

Hi, layout-id 11 is using PlatformsID.xml.zlib, check codec Info.plist for similar lines next time:

				<key>Id</key>
				<integer>11</integer>
				<key>Path</key>
				<string>PlatformsID.xml.zlib</string>

You could find node id via parsing pinconfiguration via e.g. PinConfigurator.app. But these details are better to check on insanelymac or somewhere alike, as they are unrelated to AppleALC.

@vit9696 Thank you for quick reply, i got it!
Should i post my results if i'll be lucky?
I have MSI H81-p33.

@vit9696 commented

Well… if you would like a boosted layout to be provided by AppleALC I actually could imagine this.

@dobryc commented

@vit9696 Morning! I feel so stupid about building kext. I figured out that i need boost at 24th and 25th pin nodes, but when i unpacked PlatformsID.xml.zlib, then edited (opened .xml with text editor and changed from 1 to 3, dec), then packed it again (with zLib tool), then builded it in Xcode (one more thing i fell stupid is where released .kext stored).
Anyway, i gave this idea up till this morning and my hack hasnt booted because of appleALC (does Xcode build appleALC right to clover kexts folder?!?!). Replaced it with vanilla one and booted successfully.
Could you point me, where i was wrong? Sorry me being so stupid, but i googled instructions for hours and no luck at all...

@vit9696 commented

Morning, first of all I have to say that Xcode building process has nothing to do with the clover folder. The built kexts are stored in DerivedData either in ~/Library/.../ folder or in project root.

If it failed to boot for (was it a panic? a hang?) it might have been the same AppleALC (although there is no way to prove now), just one more rarely happening bug. Next time it is best to compare…

What you did is absolutely right (from what you describe at least), perhaps it was just a mere typo somewhere.

@dobryc commented

@vit9696 Finally, i compiled kext and got my mic boost.
PlatformsID.xml.zlib.zip
I changed 11th's layout path in here.
Many thanks for AppleALC and help!

@vit9696 commented

Could you make it a separate layout so that we could merge it into AppleALC?

[acidanthera-bot]

@dobryc commented

Will try to do this tonight.
