Hi!


Your little patch works! I've attached the alsa-info for the 4.14.24 kernel once the

system is running and no sound is available.


The nodes are related to audio output. 0x03 DAC2 PCM linked to 0x0A: Line Out1

I suspect nodes 0x09, 0x0A and 0x0B are not able to recover from D3 state.


Regards

And what nodes are these?
At best, please give alsa-info.sh output.

It's the feature of power-saving, and can be turned off by passing the
hint via "patch" firmware.  If you can compile, the easiest way would
be the oneliner like:

--- a/sound/pci/hda/patch_cirrus.c
+++ b/sound/pci/hda/patch_cirrus.c
@@ -589,7 +589,7 @@ static struct cs_spec *cs_alloc_spec(struct hda_codec *codec, int vendor_nid)
                 return NULL;
         codec->spec = spec;
         spec->vendor_nid = vendor_nid;
-       codec->power_save_node = 1;
+       // codec->power_save_node = 1;
         snd_hda_gen_spec_init(&spec->gen);

         return spec;

If the widgets 0x03 and/or 0x0a have to be always turned on, we can
keep them on.  There are several ways to do that.
