Need some assistance regarding Post-Installation. ThinkPad X1 Carbon 2nd Gen.

Hi,

I'm using a ThinkPad X1 Carbon 2nd Gen and these are the specs:

CPU : Intel Core i7 4550U @ 1.50 GHz

GPU : Intel HD Graphics 5000

Memory : 8GB DDR3

Storage : 256GB Samsung MZNTE256HMHP-000l7

Operating System: macOS Catalina 10.15.7

Audio : Realtek ALC 292 @ Intel Lynx Point-LP PCH

Wifi : Intel Dual Band Wireless-N 7260 BGN 2x2 HMC WiFi Adapter

Bluetooth : Intel Wireless Bluetooth

Ethernet : Intel I218-V

Laptop Model : ThinkPad X1 Carbon 2nd Gen (2014)

Issues:

Basically the only issues I have remaining are Audio (all 6 alcid's don't work perfectly), Display (Brightness), Keyboard (Caps Lock does not work), Camera and Sleep. So far these are the only issues I could find, I'm sure I have more. Also I still have to switch from Debug to Release.

  • For Audio, I tried all 6 alcid's for my thing (ALC292) and none of them are perfect.

alcid=12: Speaker Works but Headphones have static

alcid=15: Speaker Works (best speaker audio) but Headphones don't (currently using)

alcid=18: Speaker doesn't work and Headphones have static

alcid=28: Speaker Works but Headphones have static

alcid=32: Speaker works but Headphones don't

alcid=55: Speaker Works but Headphones have static (also initializes late, like a couple minutes late)

  • For Display, my brightness keys don't work. This has a Touch Bar thingy and the brightness buttons don't work but volume does. I tried different SSDT-PNLF's but none of them worked.

Adaptive Keys thing. I can change between F1-F12 and this mode where I can adjust Volume and Brightness.

  • For Keyboard, Caps Lock does not work. The thing has a weird keyboard layout where the escape key is next to the lower right ctrl.

I have the same keyboard except the Escape and Tilda Key are switched. Caps Lock is triggered by pressing the left shift key twice.

  • Camera isn't detected in macOS and so doesn't work
  • Sleep does not work. If it automatically goes to sleep it won't wake up and if I close the lid or click sleep from the macOS, it doesn't sleep, just turns the display off. I've tried everything but tbh I think the display is the issue here. I may be wrong.

Thanks. Have a nice day :)
