snd_soc_dapm_enable_pin(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

✨ snd_soc_dapm_enable_pin ✨

okay so bestie, we're in the Kernel API Manual today and the function we're stanning is snd_soc_dapm_enable_pin 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

snd_soc_dapm_enable_pin — enable pin. that's it. that's the whole name. it enables a pin 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int snd_soc_dapm_enable_pin (struct snd_soc_dapm_context *dapm , const
char *pin );

like, it returns an int and takes two things. that's the vibe ✨

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

  • dapm — the DAPM context. yes queen, the whole context 🌈
  • pin — the pin name. just the name, as a const char * 🎀

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

so what does it actually do? it enables an input/output pin and its parents or children widgets — but only iff there's a valid audio route and an active audio stream 💀 like, it's conditional, it's not just gonna enable stuff for free. no cap.

💀 NOTE 💀

⚠️ bestie listen to me: snd_soc_dapm_sync needs to be called after this, otherwise DAPM does not do any widget power switching. like, none. zero. zilch. the pin will just be sitting there 😭 so please, for the love of everything, call snd_soc_dapm_sync after. it's giving prerequisites, it's giving "read the docs first" 🫶

okay that's the whole page, mwah 💋 this lil guy lives in ./sound/soc, it's from October 2026, and it's part of the Kernel API Manual — go forth and enable those pins responsibly, bestie 🧚‍♀️💜
