It's only one thing, there are tons of different fixes :) alc274_fixup_bind_dacs() rather specifies the routing so that the speaker is connected to the preferred DAC. Many click noises come from the default pin shut-up behavior. You can disable it or change it in other way. Also, setting auto_mute_via_amp may influence on such behavior (that is included in alc274_fixup_bind_dacs()). Note that many quirks can be enabled even without compiling but via the codec patch loading (using hints). thanks, Takashi
