There has been no change in VIA codec driver at all between v5.9 and v5.10, so the rest possibility is either in HD-audio codec helper code or controller code (or both) -- if it's about the changes in the sound driver. Or you can try the oneliner below as a test shot; it might keep the widget node power D0, which is currently the only possible appearance of the difference between working and non-working cases. BTW, please avoid top-posting. It's confusing. thanks, Takashi -- 8< -- --- a/sound/pci/hda/patch_via.c +++ b/sound/pci/hda/patch_via.c @@ -115,7 +115,7 @@ static struct via_spec *via_new_spec(struct hda_codec *codec) spec->gen.keep_eapd_on = 1; spec->gen.pcm_playback_hook = via_playback_pcm_hook; spec->gen.add_stereo_mix_input = HDA_HINT_STEREO_MIX_AUTO; - codec->power_save_node = 1; + // codec->power_save_node = 1; spec->gen.power_down_unused = 1; codec->patch_ops = via_patch_ops; return spec;
