Hi Takashi,

Well, power_save_controller=0 seems to do the trick but I get plenty of:


[   15.389270] pci_pm_runtime_suspend(): azx_runtime_suspend+0x0/0x37
[snd_hda_intel] returns -11
[   25.178725] pci_pm_runtime_suspend(): azx_runtime_suspend+0x0/0x37
[snd_hda_intel] returns -11
[   72.296536] pci_pm_runtime_suspend(): azx_runtime_suspend+0x0/0x37
[snd_hda_intel] returns -11

[ 7390.772818] pci_pm_runtime_suspend(): azx_runtime_suspend+0x0/0x37
[snd_hda_intel] returns -11


which I think is fixed in 3.8 by commit 6eb827d23577

So what's the next step? Adding a quirk for this sound card? Or is there
a way to fix the root cause? 

Cheers,
Vincent
