Ouch. A second still sounds way too long - but whatever. However, it sounds like the nice way to do that isn't by doing it synchronously in the suspend/resume code itself, but simply ramping it down (and up) from a timer. It would be asynchronous, but not because the suspend itself is in any way asynchronous. Done right, it might even result in a nice volume fade of the sound (ie if the hw allows for it, stop the actual sound engine late on suspend, and start it early on resume, so that sound works _while_ the whole reference volume rampdown/up is going on) Linus _______________________________________________ linux-pm mailing list linux-pm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-pm
