AC97 codecs. In this mode, the power-mode is dynamically
|
|
|
controlled at each open/close.
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The mode is activated by passing power_save=1 option to
|
|
|
- snd-ac97-codec driver. You can toggle it dynamically over
|
|
|
- sysfs, too.
|
|
|
+ The mode is activated by passing 'power_save=X' to the
|
|
|
+ snd-ac97-codec driver module, where 'X' is the time-out
|
|
|
+ value, a nonnegative integer that specifies how many
|
|
|
+ seconds of idle time the driver must count before it may
|
|
|
+ put the AC97 into power-save mode; a value of 0 (zero)
|
|
|
+ disables the use of this power-save mode.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ After the snd-ac97-codec driver module has been loaded,
|
|
|
+ the 'power_save' parameter can be set via sysfs as follows:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ echo 10 > /sys/module/snd_ac97_codec/parameters/power_save
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ In this case, the time-out is set to 10 seconds; setting
|
|
|
+ the time-out to 1 second (the minimum activation value)
|
|
|
+ isn't recommended because many applications try to reopen
|
|
|
+ the device frequently. A value of 10 seconds would be a
|
|
|
+ good choice for normal operations.
