WIP audio driver for the cs4208 codec found in the 12" MacBook (MacBook9,1, MacBook10,1).

Work in progress audio driver for the 12" MacBook that's largely based on davidjo's snd_hda_macbookpro

macbooks supported: MacBook9,1 (2016) and Macbook10,1 (2017)
Note: the Macbook8,1 (2015) is not supported

Kernels supported: >= 5.0

Only the speakers work with this driver (no wired headphone support)
However, the stock kernel driver supports wired headphones
So in order to use wired headphones, you must remove the module that this project creates and reboot

Compiling and installing driver:

fedora package install

dnf install dkms gcc kernel-devel make wget

ubuntu package install

apt install dkms gcc linux-headers-generic make wget

arch package install

pacman -S dkms gcc linux-headers make wget

1. build and install dkms module (experimental feature)
   this will build the module for the current/active kernel
   and will auto-compile this module whenever you install a newer kernel

git clone https://github.com/leifliddy/macbook12-audio-driver.git
cd macbook12-audio-driver/
# run the following command as root or with sudo
./install.cirrus.driver.sh -i
reboot

# to uninstall the dkms feature run:
./install.cirrus.driver.sh -u

2. (backup method if dkms didn't work) manually build and install module for current kernel

git clone https://github.com/leifliddy/macbook12-audio-driver.git
cd macbook12-audio-driver/
# run the following command as root or with sudo
./install.cirrus.driver.sh
reboot
