112On a machine with a broken BIOS, sometimes you need to force the
113driver to probe the codec slots the hardware doesn't report for use.
114In such a case, turn the bit 8 (0x100) of `probe_mask` option on.
115Then the rest 8 bits are passed as the codec slots to probe
116unconditionally. For example, `probe_mask=0x103` will force to probe
117the codec slots 0 and 1 no matter what the hardware reports.

495When a probe error occurs or when the driver obviously assigns a
496mismatched model, it'd be helpful to load the driver with
497`probe_only=1` option (at best after the cold reboot) and run
498alsa-info at this state. With this option, the driver won't configure
499the mixer and PCM but just tries to probe the codec slot. After
500probing, the proc file is available, so you can get the raw codec
501information before modified by the driver. Of course, the driver
502isn't usable with `probe_only=1`. But you can continue the
503configuration via hwdep sysfs file if hda-reconfig option is enabled.
