intel_audio_codec_disable(9)

💖 intel_audio_codec_disable(9) — the kernel API manual glow-up 🎀

Okay bestie, welcome to the intel_audio_codec_disable page from the Kernel API Manual — it's giving "tiny function, big responsibilities" and honestly? Iconic. Let's get into it. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

intel_audio_codec_disable — disable the audio codec for HD audio 🎧

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void intel_audio_codec_disable (struct intel_encoder *encoder , const
struct intel_crtc_state *old_crtc_state , const struct
drm_connector_state *old_conn_state );

It returns void, so like… no return value to obsess over. It just does the thing. Slay. 💅

---

💜 ARGUMENTS 💜

• encoder — the encoder you want to disable audio on. That's the main character of this call, fr fr. 🎤
• old_crtc_state — pointer to the old crtc state. Yes, old, keep that in mind bestie. 🫶
• old_conn_state — pointer to the old connector state. Also old. The vibes are consistently vintage here. 🕰️

---

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

So here's the tea: the disable sequences must be performed before disabling the transcoder or port. Not after. Not "whenever you get around to it." Before. 🙈

Lowkey a big deal — skip that ordering and you're not matching the documented sequence, so don't come crying to me. 😭

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

• Kernel file ./drivers/gpu/drm/i915/display/intel_audio.c — yes, that's where the lore lives 📂

And that's the page, bestie! 🫶 This little gem lives under ./drivers/gpu/drm/i915/display, dated October 2026, and it's page intel_audio_codec_disable(9) of the Kernel API Manual. Go forth and disable that codec — in the right order, obviously. 💖✨
