By using alc670 alsa-info.txt in the alsa bugtracker , the latest version
hda_analyzer don't has any error message when clicking AUD_IN node

Not sure your error is due to using  /proc instead of text file since I
don't have your codec

There are error messages when click the "graph" button to generate the
graph.

About the graph
the blue line - connected audio path
the grey line - unconncted audio path
the line turn red when you put the mouse cursor near any line ,
