Can you get any kernel messages or stack trace?

I think all of these come from the codec communication error.
The ca0110 parser part hasn't been changed for long time.  IIRC, the
regression occurred at time we introduced the multi-codec check.

The relevant changes begin with the commit
    commit deadff1665491afce124a8ff83f00f784161f660
    ALSA: hda: track CIRB/CORB command/response states for each codec
    
It'd need a bit tricky to revert all these without conflicts,
though...


thanks,
