💅 snd_hda_ctls_clear(9) — a Kernel API Manual moment

okay bestie, so we're in the Kernel API Manual today, and this page is about snd_hda_ctls_clear — genuinely one of the more satisfying little functions ngl. It's giving "cleanup era" ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

snd_hda_ctls_clear — clear all the controls assigned to the given codec. every single one. the whole group chat, gone 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void snd_hda_ctls_clear (struct hda_codec *codec );

like, that's it. that's the whole signature. no return value, it just does the thing 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • codec — the HD-audio codec in question 👑 this is the one whose controls are getting cleared, so like… know which one you're handing over, bestie.

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

okay so this is the part where the manpage goes full main-character and lists, like, everyone in the HD-audio extended universe. no cap, here's the whole squad 💖

like I said. the whole squad. ate and left no crumbs 🔥

ngl bestie, this one's a short page — the whole bit is "clears the controls for this codec" and then it hands you a 77-name reading list. read it, don't skim it, the details are the whole vibe 💀

and that's the page!! 🎀 this lil gem lives in ./sound/hda/common and it's stamped October 2026 — so go forth and clear those controls, bestie, you're literally the main character of the HD-audio subsystem now 👑💜
