AUDIO (INT)(9)

🎧 audio (int)

okay so bestie, welcome to audio (int), straight out of the Kernel API Manual (section 9, the kernel API one) — yes it's giving "tiny manpage, huge friend group" energy 💅

Here's the whole entire tea: this knob sets HDMI/DPAudio. That's it, that's the vibe.

But wait — there's a catch, and it's kind of important 👀 this one only affects non-DC display handling. So if you're living that DC life, this parameter is lowkey not for you, no cap.

🍓 the values, bestie

• -1 — Enabled. This is the default, so if you never touched it you're already slaying ✨
• 0 — disabled. Set it to this when you want the audio off 🫶

fr fr, the original page says "set 0 to disabled it" — grammar said no but the kernel said yes 🙈 the meaning is exactly: 0 = disabled. The default is -1 = Enabled. Don't come for me, I'm just the messenger 🎀

and that's the whole page, bestie!! this iconic little file ships from ./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu, dated October 2026, and answers to the name audio (int)(9) 🦋 go forth and configure your HDMI/DPAudio with confidence, periodt 💜
