Good to hear!

While we are at it: could you try to enable codec->power_save_node in
patch_alc269() (while keeping the new patch)?

--- a/sound/pci/hda/patch_realtek.c
+++ b/sound/pci/hda/patch_realtek.c
@@ -5671,8 +5671,7 @@ static int patch_alc269(struct hda_codec *codec)
 
 	spec = codec->spec;
 	spec->gen.shared_mic_vref_pin = 0x18;

This was the workaround for Jonathan's machine, but maybe the new
workaround is good enough.  After changing this, try to enable the
power save by writing like

	echo 1 > /sys/module/snd_hda_intel/parameters/power_save

and start/stop playing something.


thanks,
