kernel changes:
commit b2a89593b10d1f939253bdd952c782f01dbca7a0
Since commit 1df5a06a ("ALSA: hda - hdmi: Fix programmed active channel
count") channel count is no longer being set if monitor_present is 0.
This is because setting the count was moved after the CA value is
determined, which is only after the monitor_present check in
hdmi_setup_audio_infoframe().
Unfortunately, in some cases, such as with a non-spec-compliant codec or
with a problematic video driver, monitor_present is always 0. As a
specific example, this seems to happen with gen1 ATV (SiI1390 codec),
causing left-channel-only stereo playback (multi-channel playback has
apparently never worked with this codec despite it reporting 8 channels,
reason unknown).
Simply setting converter channel count without setting the pin infoframe
and channel mapping as well does not theoretically make much sense as
this will just mean they are out-of-sync and multichannel playback will
have a wrong channel mapping.
However, adding back just setting the converter channel count even in
no-monitor case is the safest change which at least fixes the stereo
playback regression on SiI1390 codec. Do that.
commit d970de72f3c225e61487e67d0fa6e1842fcd0162
The recent Intel H97/Z97 chipsets need the similar setups like other
Intel chipsets for snooping, etc. Especially without snooping, the
audio playback stutters or gets corrupted. This fix patch just adds
the corresponding PCI ID entry with the proper flags.
