Yes, I agree. I'm debugging this issue on Ubuntu, not sure it happens on other distribution too. If it's related to Ubuntu, maybe need check Ubuntu power policy. Does anyone know the Ubuntu power-policy on laptop? i.e. when charger connected, will Ubuntu make decision to disable power-save feature for audio subsystem?
I'm not a power management expert, but I got a pointer from my team mate to pm-utils:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/pm-utils/tree/pm/power.d/intel-audio-power save
If I understand correctly, The scripts in power.d are executed when battery / AC-power is changed.
To me, this sounds like a user space issue. It requested power on and the kernel delivered.
Do you know which user-space application will touch below two flags? - /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:03.0/power/control - /sys/module/snd_hda_intel/parameters/power_save
Thanks --xingchao
Trying to modify the kernel to work around that would be insane.
Thanks, Rafael
