So your work wouldn't fix hdmi-audio pre-HSW here?


Anyways, a quick fix would be good, and if not that, remember marking
future changes that fix this, for stable.

What implications would something like the following, that Takashi
suggested, have on other systems?

    sound: pci: hda: set codec_has_acomp to false due to pending regression

    v4.5 and it's significant intel hda changes break audio over HDMI
    for some cases. This is a temporary workaround to be reverted in
    the future.
