Description Eric Sandeen 2009-04-03 14:53:51 UTC

Bug 433495 has some information about the power_save feature of this driver causing pops when the device comes out of powersave mode.  Powersave was originally disabled for this reason, but after reports that it had been fixed, it was re-enabled in the rawhide kernels.  However, reports have resurfaced.

It appears that maybe only some hardware has this problem, so I'm reluctant to throw out all power saving for an odd piece of hardware or two.

If you're experiencing this problem on this driver, -and- if you're not, it'd be great if you could attach the relevant device info (from alsa-info.sh, and/or lspsi) to the bug and let us know which hardware is affected.  It may be possible to disable powersave for just the problematic hardware.

If you are experiencing pops now, please test with the power_save=0 option to the module, and see if the problem goes away.

Thanks,
-Eric

Has the pops with power_save != 0

Comment 2 Allen Kistler 2009-04-03 19:02:14 UTC

I have a slightly different problem with the same solution.  I've got an HP Elitebook 6930p, which has the ICH9 chipset.  The audio doesn't pop.  It doesn't do anything because it's always power-saving.  The panel has a combo IR-switch/status-LED for mute/power-saving of the audio device.

I enable Gnome sounds.  On power-up, the mute LED says sound isn't muted.  When I log in, the LED changes to say it *is* muted, and I hear nothing.  If I'm fast enough, I can unmute and hear the end of the login sound.  For a few seconds, sound works.  Then it mutes again automatically.  (Lather, rinse, repeat for any other audio, too.)  The LED usually changes status the next time a sound *would* play (if audio wasn't muted/power-saving).

If I feed the module the power_save=0 option, the problem does not occur.  Or rather, it occurs only once a few seconds after the first login (after the first sound?), then never again.

I had pops with snd_hda_intel, but setting power_save=0 solved the problem.

Thanks everyone; looks like nothing but trouble, so we'll probably just disable this by default again before F11 is done.

Turned this back off again in the F11 branch.
