I also tried setting codec->power_save_node = 0; in a patch_realtek.c quirk.

static void alc274_fixup_pop_noise(struct hda_codec *codec, const struct
hda_fixup *fix, int action)
{
       codec->power_save_node = 0;
}

That initially seemed to work, but when I tested it again a day later
after a fresh install, it didn't anymore. I don't know what is
different. On the install before, I did some debugging with boot
parameters and other stuff, cant reproduce anymore what exactly.

I took the line from alc274_fixup_bind_dacs which fixes the pop noise
when applied to the devices, but does a lot of random other stuff too
not meant for the device.

I think I only ever warm rebooted when trying other fixes including that
one, maybe that's the reason for the different behavior a day later ..

Kind Regards,
