ALCPlugFix - Use for ALC 298

This is an improved version of ALCPlugFix from goodwin. 2020-06 Merge back version from Prefzei repo

The original and this fork tries to fix headphone audio power state issue in non Apple sound card in macOS.

The improvement include:

• Refactor
• Add listener when sleep/wake
• Fix on sleep wake
• Let you choose hda-verb so it don't need be in $PATH
• Enable launching as LauchDaemon
• Bug fix
• Install.sh script with update support
• Uninstall.sh to uninstall ALCPlugFix
• macOS Catalina support

Install

Running sh install.sh will install to /user/local/bin (no need to be in the install.sh folder anymore).

By default it search hda-verb in current work directory, if not found it will search in $PATH (May not work when it is running from LaunchDaemon because it is using as root).

Compatible Laptops

• Dell XPS 9560, and, I suppose, all other using ALC298

Build

xcodebuild -target ALCPlugFix

Debug

Add following to launchDaemon file to log to /tmp/ALCPlugFix.log, (or use log stream)

	<key>StandardOutPath</key>
	<string>/tmp/ALCPlugFix.log</string>
	<key>StandardErrorPath</key>
	<string>/tmp/ALCPlugFix.log</string>
