Hmm, ok - I might have a lack of knowledge here. All I was seeing with  
an I2C hardware analyzer is that those registers in question were  
written without the power bit set which makes them remain muted.  
What's the way to power up this entity properly?

And as we're on it - aic3x_dapm_event(SNDRV_CTL_POWER_D3cold) is  
called shortly after PCM playback has finished which clears the power  
bits of many registers. This in turn also makes the current PGA mixer  
setting become unfunctional as the outputs are switched off. Is there  
a proper way of preventing the glue layer to power down the chip in  
this case?

Thanks,
Daniel
