From: Dom Cobley <popcornmix@xxxxxxxxx> We regularly get dmesg error reports of: [ 18.184066] hdmi-audio-codec hdmi-audio-codec.3.auto: ASoC: error at snd_soc_dai_startup on i2s-hifi: -19 [ 18.184098] MAI: soc_pcm_open() failed (-19) These are generated for any disconnected hdmi interface when pulseaudio attempts to open the associated ALSA device (numerous times). Each open generates a kernel error message, generating general log spam. The error messages all come from _soc_pcm_ret in sound/soc/soc-pcm.c#L39 which suggests returning ENOTSUPP, rather that ENODEV will be quiet. And indeed it is.
