From cd508fe58b07499403e806b558c7f15c90442292 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jaroslav Kysela Date: Fri, 26 Mar 2010 10:28:46 +0100 Subject: ALSA: hda-intel - add special 'hwio' model to bypass initialization Using the 'model=hwio' option, the driver bypasses any codec initialization and the reset procedure for codecs is also bypassed. This mode is usefull to enable direct access using hwdep interface (using hdaverb or hda-analyzer tools) and retain codec setup from BIOS.
