snd_hda_codec_set_pincfg(9)

💖 snd_hda_codec_set_pincfg 💖

okay so this is the snd_hda_codec_set_pincfg(9) page from the Kernel API Manual. it’s a tiny codec-helper situation, and honestly? iconic. 🫶

🎀 NAME 🎀

snd_hda_codec_set_pincfg — Override a pin default configuration ✨

📜 SYNOPSIS 📜

int snd_hda_codec_set_pincfg (struct hda_codec *codec , hda_nid_t nid ,
       unsigned int cfg );

🧚 ARGUMENTS 🧚

• codec — the HDA codec. that’s the codec, bestie 💅
• nid — NID to set the pin config. literally the NID where the pin config gets set.
• cfg — the pin default config value. the pin default config value itself, no cap.

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so what this does: it overrides a pin default configuration value in the cache. yes, in the cache. and that value can be read by snd_hda_codec_get_pincfg at a higher priority than the real hardware value. so the cache value outranks the actual hardware value. periodt. 🔥
