📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 snd_hda_gen_update_outputs — or as the kernel calls it, snd_hda_gen_update_outputs(9)

okay so bestie, this is a page from the Kernel API Manual and it's genuinely one of the shorter ones, so we can absolutely get through it together 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

snd_hda_gen_update_outputs — literally just toggling outputs muting, that's the whole vibe 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void snd_hda_gen_update_outputs (struct hda_codec *codec );

no return value, no drama, it's giving "void and unbothered" 💅

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • codec — the HDA codec. that's it. that's the one (1) argument. she's simple, she's iconic 👑

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So what does she do? She updates the mute status of all outputs, and she does it based on the current jack states. That's the entire plot 😭 plug something in, jack state changes, and this function is the one that goes "okay bet, let me re-check all the mutes" and syncs everything up. main character energy fr fr 🔥

no cap, that's the whole description. short queen. periodt 💀

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

okay this is where it gets real, because the SEE ALSO list is LONG and we are NOT skipping a single one, iykyk:

twenty-one friends and one file, all linked up — the friend group is thriving 🌸✨

ngl, that's genuinely the whole page. no options, no defaults, no environment variables, no exit statuses, no bugs to warn you about. sometimes a manpage is just a little guy doing one job and doing it well 🧚💜

kisses bestie, this one's from ./sound/hda/codecs, October 2026, part of the Kernel API Manual — snd_hda_gen_update_outputs(9) out 💖🎀🫶
