How can I get Cirrus Logic CS4208 drivers that include .inf & .sys for my Windows installed on a MacBook Pro 2015?

I found out that I can't control the volume of speakers connected to my monitor via HDMI using volume controls in the OS. There are countless questions about this issue, the most upvoted one being https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/336750/how-do-i-control-macbook-volume-when-a-dp-display-is-connected . However there are some USB C hubs for sale that include a 3.5mm audio port. I was thinking that if I buy one of these I would be able to control the volume of speakers through the OS. However in one of the reviews for one of the hubs ([this one](https://www.amazon.com/Belkin-MultiPort-Adapter-Pass-Through-Charging/dp/B091KKB74Y)) , someone mentioned that they were unable to control the volume using the OS. So does this mean all USB C hubs also have this issue? I could only find discussions concerning HDMI or DisplayPort. The reason for all of this is I want to easily control my volume using my keyboard and I also want to limit the number of cables I have connected to my MacBook as much as possible. P.S. I know there are software solutions. I need to avoid a software solution and just need a firm "yes" or "no, because etc.."

I have noise canceling headphones (Bose QC 35), that also have microphone built-in. If the microphone is active, noise canceling doesn't work, they just pass through ambient sounds (this is by design. I suppose, they did it so you wouldn't feel that you're in "vacuum" when you are talking). Anyway, the problem is that whenever I connect my headphones to macOS, the system switches from internal microphone to headphones' one. Therefore, noise canceling doesn't work, unless I go to system settings and switch microphone back to the internal one. This is very annoying, especially considering that I have to do that every time I connect headphones. Is there any way to force macOS to always use internal microphone, or not to use the specific headphones' one? **Update from 10/2017:** So I found out that "headphones' microphone is being used" only happens when Skype is running. But ever since I stopped using Skype (or having it running all the time), the problem was gone! This is not the solution for the original question, I'm just leaving it here for the future reference.

A few weeks ago, the sound on my Mac just died. Nothing was coming from the internal speakers, the headsets, or external systems. When I get into the sound icon from system preferences, I'm told that there are no input or output devices available. Everything but the sound works fine, except if there's an interview in a story, music, or any audio, I get dead silence. Is this a fatal breakdown or can it be fixed for under the $2300 I paid for it originally? I didn't expect it to help, but I tried to restore everything with the Time Machine--no luck there. Thanks.

I'm trying to display the volume icon and percentage of my external monitor (Dell U4025QW) audio output in SketchyBar on my MacBook Pro (M1). The goal is to show accurate volume and mute status in the bar. What I want to achieve: - Show current volume % and mute icon for my external monitor in SketchyBar. - Have volume update live as it changes. - Fall back gracefully when using the built-in display (i.e. display volume of built-in speakers). I'm using the following snippet in my SketchyBar plugin:

VOLUME=$(osascript -e "output volume of (get volume settings)")
MUTED=$(osascript -e "output muted of (get volume settings)")

source "$CONFIG_DIR/env.sh"
source "$CONFIG_DIR/icons.sh"

if [ "$MUTED" != "false" ]; then
    ICON="${ICONS_VOLUME}"
    VOLUME=0
else
    case ${VOLUME} in
        100) ICON="${ICONS_VOLUME}" ;;
        [5-9]*) ICON="${ICONS_VOLUME}" ;;
        [0-9]*) ICON="${ICONS_VOLUME}" ;;
        *) ICON="${ICONS_VOLUME}" ;;
    esac
fi

sketchybar -m \
    --set "$NAME" icon=$ICON \
    --set "$NAME" label="$VOLUME%"

When using the built-in MacBook Pro display, this works perfectly. When using the external Dell monitor, osascript always returns missing value for volume or 0, despite the volume HUD showing the correct volume and the keyboard volume keys working. From research and testing, it seems that: - External monitors using Thunderbolt/USB audio output often do not expose their volume controls via macOS scripting APIs (like AppleScript). - macOS seems to "fake" or cache the volume changes for these devices in the UI but does not expose the actual volume programmatically. - The mute status is exposed and scriptable, but volume percentage is not. Is there any known way, tool, or API to programmatically get the real volume level of an external Thunderbolt or USB audio device (such as a monitor) on macOS?

I installed windows 10 and everything was running smoothly until a day later when my earphones suddenly started emitting a high pitch noise whenever any sound was played at a constant level. It is pretty much unusable unless I want tinnitus :( I'm not sure what the issue is, I’ve tried reinstalling the drivers but that hasn’t helped. I have cirrus logic cs8409 (ab 51) drivers and when I switch drivers to generic or endpoint, I get no audio.

I have installed Windows 11 to a Macbook pro early 2011 Audio does not work out of the box, I belive for the reasons described in this [post](https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/278518/macbook-pro-late-2011-sound-issues-in-windows-10-no-bootcamp/350469#350469) Long story short, "DSDT table root bridge definition (ACPI PNP0A08 or PNP0A03) is usually confined to a reserved 32-bit space (under 4GB) budgeted to be large enough to host the notebook's PCIe devices" Although audio works using the "registry" method, but only in Windows "Test Mode" so I would like run without test-mode. What setup using "clover" mode has functioning audio without test mode with Windows on Mac hardware?

I have an Macbook Pro mid-2017 and a pair of Bluetooth ear-buds. When I turn bluetooth off and on again on the Macbook, the ear-buds do not reconnect automatically, but when I just put the ear-buds in its case, so they turn off and I take them out again, they reconnect automatically. When I get home and take the ear-buds out they still do reconnect, but when I take them out on the next morning, they don't. It seems like there is an timeout or something for "lost Bluetooth connections". I already tried this command: sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.Bluetooth.plist DontPageAudioDevices 1 Like I described it works, when I turn Bluetooth off and on again, but not when I only turn the ear-buds off.

Anyone else having a "call failed" issue with FaceTime I have a 2020 iMac 27in 3.8 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i7 64 GB 2667 MHz DDR4 AMD Radeon Pro 5700 XT 16 GB I just updated to Monterey this morning and now for some reason my FaceTime calls will crash giving me a "call failed" error. This only seems to happen when I'm using my iMacs built in audio, if I connect airpods, use the 3.5mm or an external monitor with speakers and set it as the default audio output everything works fine. If I try initiate or switch a call to the iMacs speakers the call fails I've tried all of the following with no success PRAM and SMC, safe mode killed and restarted coreaudiod killed and restarted FaceTime sing out and singed in to FaceTime disabled all firewalls and VPN's tried a different wifi network tried over ethernet uninstalled "wavelike" and "BlackHole2ch" I've done a Disk Utility scan from recovery mode reinstalled macOS from recovery mode tried logging out and in to FaceTime on all device I've also reported it to apple I cannot seem to figure out what the issues is, audio works perfectly everywhere else in the entire system I just noted as I was preparing this that when I navigate to system information I get the following when highlighting my audio hardware information "There was an error while gathering this information"

This machine (mid-2011 with macOS Big Sur retrofit) is used as a HTPC/media player in a somewhat interference-rich environment. As long as there is some kind of media playback active, even if it is video with a silent audio track, all is fine. However, a few seconds after no longer playing back anything, it appears the sound circuitry powers down leaving the output in a somewhat high-impedance state, leading to all kinds of noise being picked up by the analog wiring (ticking noises that appear to be from some SMPS in the system if not using an audio isolation transformer, hum injected into the same transformer if using one). Is there some hidden software option to simply keep the sound circuitry on line (actively outputting silence) at all times?

- m1 max macbook pro, 16'' - macOS 12.6.7 - Studio Display Version 15.5 Couple days ago, suddenly have this issue, where audio will stop playing for a few seconds. - Audition either continues playing without sound, or freeze (in which case had to force quit coreaudiod to unfreeze it). Other applications either buffers as though bad network, or plays without sound. afplay exits immediately when no sound. - Switching back to built-in speaker and then to studio display seems to reset and audio will play again for a few seconds - Power-cycling the studio display does not help Unfortunately I cannot restart my mac due to important process running. Any other ideas to troubleshoot the problem?

I'm using Boot Camp on my Mac and the audio seems incredibly bad. According to what I can find in settings, it is 16-bit. Usually there are more options than this. I've heard online that this is Apple's fault for including bad drivers, but I am wondering if there is a way around it or some third-party drivers that I can install. I've tried re downloading the drivers and looking through all of the settings. There is an enhance option which only seems to make the sound louder which then makes it sound worse. I've looked through 12 pages of Google searches and I can't find any fixes. Any help, ideas or suggestions are appreciated.

For some reason, when Bluetooth headphones are connected to my macbook the volume control doesn't have any effect on the headphones volume. They seem to be stuck on full volume and doesn't change when I lower the volume. I've tried 'sudo killall coreaudiod' in the terminal but it doesn't change anything. Have restarted and re-paired the headphones but no joy. Any similar solutions haven't worked either. Anyone got any ideas? Thank you.

I bought a used iPad 4 mini to try out some music recording software. I use an external audio interface (iRig Pro Duo) connected to the Lightning port for audio recording, playback and MIDI. Is there any way to charge/power the iPad while doing this? Is there an adapter that allows a charger to connect while providing full functionality of the Lightning port?

I'm using Big Sur (11.4) with Facetime calling turned on. Whenever I get a call through Facetime or to my cellular number, the Mac silences whatever I was doing and puts out an obnoxiously loud ring. I know I can turn Facetime calls off completely, but that's not what I want. I do want to get call notifications on the computer, I just want them to be silent. Ideally I would like them not to mute my existing sound (music or whatever I'm doing) unless I take the call. Is there any way to turn off or mute Facetime rings while still receiving notifications?

I have a couple of older (High-Sierra) Apple products that I use for some non-essential tasks, for some reason after some kind of update the audio stopped working on both of them. After pulling my hair out for the past week trying to solve the issue I finally figured it out and wanted to post here with the solution in case anyone else runs into the same problem: **The Problem** - Computer updates and restarts (not sure what exactly is being updated...) - After restart no sound devices are working and the Sound section of System Preferences is inaccessible. **Everything I Tried (That Failed)** - Restarting/Shut-Down - Disk First-Aid - Booted to Safe Mode - PRAM and SMC reset - Terminal commands to restart coreaudiod - Reinstall of OS (Command-R on boot)

I am recording cello practicing tutorials for my students, using (for now) just an iPhone XS and recording at 1080p to get started and to avoid melting the device during summer (it's already struggling quite a bit). Upon checking the recordings, I have noticed that, while the cello is clear and prominent, my voice sounds quite muffled and in the background. Some non-comprehensive research taught me that, while the iPhone's mic is omnidirectional, it prioritises closer sources and my voice originates about 30-40cm behind the cello. To work around this, I have used Detach Audio in Final Cut Pro 11 to separate audio from a video. Then, I exported the video as audio only (side question: is there another way to export only the audio from FCP?), resulting in an 85 MB AIFF audio file. After that, I opened the AIFF file in Logic Pro 11 and used the Split Stem feature to separate vocals from instruments, used the Gain Tool to increase the volume of the voice and exported the two tracks separately (about 80-90 MB each, all expected). I did not add any effect, these are videos through which I also plan to learn the craft, so no need to overdo it. The resulting Logic project is 590 MB big! Is this normal? Should I uncheck certain options in the saving process? Is there anything I can do to improve this? Perhaps some mistake in my workflow? Thank you very much!

Both a music-streaming websites, Spotify and Apple Music on macOS both pause the audio to bluetooth headphones every minute or so. I can press the Play buttons to resume the audio. Thoughts appreciated. **Edit**: Have tried rebooting, headphones 50% charged. Now, waiting to see how things function after disconnecting/reconnecting headphones.

In order to remove another audio device from my Mac, I deleted the HAL folder from Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/ (This is the advice I got from a quick google search, I don't understand the mechanics of it at all) It removed the device I wanted to remove but now my Galaxy buds are not working. They connect to the bluetooth successfully for a few seconds and then disconnect automatically. Even when they are connected, the headphones do not show up in the list of Output devices. If someone has any solutions, please help me out.

I'm not getting the full 16 increments when adjusting sound on Ventura. Here's what happens when I increase the volume from zero, step-by-step. Step 1: Audio output goes to 0.082 (As seen in Audio Menu in System Settings or in MIDI app) Step 2: Still 0.082 Step 3: 0.184 Step 4: 0.327 Step 5: Still 0.327 Step 6: Still 0.327 Step 7: 0.51 Step 8: Still 0.51 Step 9: Still 0.51 Step 10: 0.735 Step 11: Still 0.735 Step 12: Still 0.735 Step 13: Still 0.735 Step 14: 1.0 Step 15: Still 1.0 Step 16: Still 1.0 So as you can see, instead of the 16 incremental volume steps I should have, I only get 7, which is not enough. Any idea why this is happening or how I can fix it? Here's my system: - Mac mini 2020 (M1) - Ventura 13.3.1 - KEF LSX II speakers (connected through USB-C).
