Kevin,

You said previously:

but this indicates the CONFIG_SND_HDA_POWER_SAVE option is still complied
into the kernel:

> CONFIG_SND_HDA_POWER_SAVE=y
> CONFIG_SND_HDA_POWER_SAVE_DEFAULT=0

Try to configure the kernel with CONFIG_SND_HDA_POWER_SAVE set to 'n',
then rebuild/reinstall the kernel, reboot with the new kernel and
rebuild/reinstall the driver.

Maybe it will help.
