[Bug 1329191] Re: [MacBookAir5, 1, Cirrus Logic CS4206, Blue Line In, Rear] Line In using TRRS plug does not work correctly

 

sorry, this is beyond my skill, and I didn't find a guide to follow. 
Maybe you can give me a little bit more precise instructions on what to do with the values. 
I think I found the relevant part of the windows .inf file (Section starting with [CDB4206DM12PinConfigOverride]), i think I have to switch the bytes e.g. 0x1,10,1c,97,00 will become 00 97 1c 10 and I found a guide describing what those hex digits mean (comment #15 on http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/275086-pin-config-patching-voodoohda-0272-project-os-x-branch/)

the info retrieved from the pins matches with the comments of the
windows .inf file.

But now? What do I do with these hex codes. Which of these and where do
I have to patch my audio driver to recognize the TRRS input signal?

Title:
  [MacBookAir5,1, Cirrus Logic CS4206, Blue Line In, Rear] Line In using
  TRRS plug does not work correctly

Status in alsa-driver package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Microphone connected via TRRS plug on Macbook Air 5,1 is not
  recognised. Selecting "Analogue In" in Pulseaudio mixer is same as
  selecting "Microphone" - i.e. sounds recorded are always the Internal
  microphone, and not the microphone connected via the TRRS plug. When
  using OSX however, the TRRS microphone works correctly.

  Have tried booting Live CDs of 12.04, 13.04, and 14.04, and even tried
  upgrading kernel to 3.15, and problem persists.
