It sounds to me like the HDA is not powered if no cable is plugged in.
What is reponsible then for powering it up or down, firmware code on
the GPU or in the host's BIOS?
Sometimes the BIOS, but definitely unconditionally the PCI quirk code:

Ideally, we should try to find out how to control HDA power from the
operating system rather than trying to cooperate with whatever firmware
is doing. If we have that capability, the OS should power the HDA up
and down as it sees fit.
Thanks,
Lukas
