| OK, then it's hard to see.

| Looking through the comments that the power-saving helps, the problem
| may disappear even without disabling the pci device. The power-saving
| doesn't involve with pci_disable_device() or changing the power-state
| of the controler. So, at least, the problem is either in the codec
| or the controller setup.
|
| Suppose you already use the power-saving and it solves the shutdown
| problem, could you set power_save_controller=0 option for
| snd-hda-intel, and check whether the shutdown still works or not?
| If the shutdown doesn't work with this option, it means that
| azx_stop_chip() is what would be needed.

Yes, power_save_controller=0 doesn't work while the power-saving
one works.

Where should I put a call to azx_stop_ship()? I'm not an alsa
hacker. :)

| Anyway, I feel this is rather a BIOS issue, and not sure what is the
| best way to fix in the driver itself...

I see... I'm running with the latest BIOS update, btw.
