✨ snd_hdac_read_parm_uncached(9) ✨

okay so this is the kernel API manual page for snd_hdac_read_parm_uncached, bestie — yes the function name is a whole mouthful, we're doing it anyway 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

snd_hdac_read_parm_uncached — read a codec parameter, but make it uncached (no caching, none, zero, nada) 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int snd_hdac_read_parm_uncached (struct hdac_device *codec , hda_nid_t
nid , int parm );

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

  • codec — the codec object itself, your main character 🫶
  • nid — the NID you're reading a parameter from
  • parm — the parameter you wanna read, like, the actual thing you came here for

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

So what it does: it reads a codec parameter without caching. No cap, no stored copy, just goes and gets it.

It returns -1 on error. That's the whole error story here 😭 — if you need to tell errors apart more strictly than that, use snd_hdac_read directly, iykyk.

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

Kernel file ./sound/hda/core/device.c — go peek, it's right there ✨

🧚 that's the whole page, bestie. go read your codec params, stay uncached, stay iconic 🌈

and like, a lil sign-off for the credits: this one lives in ./sound/hda/core, dated October 2026, and it's the snd_hdac_read_parm_uncached(9) page from the Kernel API Manual. slay 💜
