snd_hda_codec_reset(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, this is snd_hda_codec_reset(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and it's here to clear all objects assigned to the codec. like every last one, no crumbs left 💅✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int snd_hda_codec_reset (struct hda_codec *codec );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• codec — the HD-audio codec, aka the main character here 🎧💖

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

bestie, this one goes in and frees all the PCM and control elements assigned to the codec. it also clears the caches and restores the pin default configurations. full reset-glow-up for the codec, periodt 🌸🦋

if a device is being used, it returns -EBSY. yes, exactly that. if it successfully frees everything, it returns zero. so -EBSY = not right now, zero = slayed and freed ✅🔥
