             position buffer.)
 
+    NB: If you get many "azx_get_response timeout" messages at
+    loading, it's likely a problem of interrupts (e.g. ACPI irq
+    routing).  Try to boot with options like "pci=noacpi".  Also, you
+    can try "single_cmd=1" module option.  This will switch the
+    communication method between HDA controller and codecs to the
+    single immediate commands instead of CORB/RIRB.  Basically, the
+    single command mode is provided only for BIOS, and you won't get
+    unsolicited events, too.  But, at least, this works independently
+    from the irq.  Remember this is a last resort, and should be
+    avoided as much as possible...

     The power-management is supported.
