Hi All,
For Fedora 28 we plan to ship the kernel with snd_hda_intel.power_save defaulting to 1:

We've had an update for F27 in updates-testing for a while which made the same change for F27, but we've received several bug reports about plops / click sounds on start / stop of playing audio:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1525104
I know others have probably already tried fixing this, but I'm wondering if there are any ideas how to fix this / things to try?
Ideas of my own:
- Mute the speakers / headphone output in the mixer before
activating power-saving. Question how hard would it be to make this happen?
- Put a delay between various steps involved in turning
things off / on.
Hi,
I am a bit skeptic about those proposals. I think that the drivers should do this job, because some hardware variants have different requirements for the proper power-off/on sequence.
The problem appears like an improper voltage change and the HDA driver has already a lot of code which is trying to eliminate these pops (but as you can see, it is not sufficient).
Honestly, I don't know if it's good to keep this "hidden" to users or enable the power save feature by default and let users to report this, so we can look into this problem more when the affected hardware is identified.
