After the snd-ac97-codec driver module has been loaded,
|
||||||
|
the 'power_save' parameter can be set via sysfs as follows:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
echo 10 > /sys/module/snd_ac97_codec/parameters/power_save
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In this case, the time-out is set to 10 seconds; setting
|
||||||
|
the time-out to 1 second (the minimum activation value)
|
||||||
|
isn't recommended because many applications try to reopen
|
||||||
|
the device frequently. A value of 10 seconds would be a
|
||||||
|
good choice for normal operations.
