[PATCH v2] ALSA: hda/conexant: Fix pop noise on conexant codec
Posted by wangdich9700@163.com 1 month, 2 weeks ago
From: wangdicheng <wangdich9700@163.com>

Pop noise mitigation: When headphones are unplugged during playback,mute
speaker DAC(0x17)immediately and restore after 20ms delay to avoid
audible popping.

What's the device ID for the "conexant codec"? I doubt all of them share 
the problem. Once obtained, mention the ID within the title.

Now, the problem you're aiming to address seem generic - addressing pop 
noises during plug/unplug is a common subject in sound/ domain. I'd 
check if sound/hda/codecs doesn't have something for such occasion 
already. Takashi is more fluent in sound/hda, perhaps he could help here.

If such code exists, you could get rid of ugly:
	codec->spec <-> spec->codec

relation which you're adding with:
	struct hda_codec *conexant_codec;

Not fan of adding 'struct hda_codec *' as part of the spec. As stated 
above, I'd first check if something pop noise -related doesn't exist in 
sound/hda already. If it does, hook into it.

return-statement in void? The code won't compile. Was the patch tested 
at all?
