答复: [alsa-devel] ??????: [PATCH] vgaswitchroo: set audio client id according to bound gpu client id

[Qu, Jim]

Hi All,

Here, I want to clarify the audio device is bound to iGPU. There is no audio codec for dGPU. 

Thanks

Since v4.17, every time the GPU is powered up, the HDA controller is runtime resumed to PCI_D0.  (See the call to pci_wakeup_bus() in
vga_switcheroo_runtime_resume() added by dcac86b7d0.)

If the HDA controller can't detect presence of an HDMI display even if it's in PCI_D0, then I suppose that needs to be adressed in the HDA driver.  Thus so far I don't see the need to call from amdgpu into the HDA driver.

Thanks,

Lukas
