Here one that works automatically for all multimedia devices:
# find multimedia devices
pcis=$(lspci -v | grep Multimedia | awk '{ print $1; }')
if test -z "$pcis"; then
echo WARNING: no multimedia devices found on pci bus
else
for p in $pcis; do
echo set maximum latency timer for $p
setpci -s $p latency_timer=ff
done
fi
