how can i disable an amd radeon hdmi soundcard? [SOLVED]

[mael]

hi,

i have a creative soundblaster z and finally thanks to the awesome work of connor mcadams <conmanx360-at-gmail.com> i dont need any other active soundcard in my system anymore! give the man a honorary doctors degree in reverse engineering he deserves it... to my knowledge creative did nothing to support the open source world... creative : perfect hardware, but piece of crap of a (linux)customer support like some graphics chip manufacturer we all love-hate

so now to my problem :

i already deactivated my internal realtek audio codec via uefi bios, but i cant deactivate the hdmi soundcard on my amd radeon 290x. i use the drm_radeon kernel module (not the newer amdgpu drivers!) with active kms. my prefered audio apis in ascending order are alsa, pulseaudio and openal which are working now perfectly with my soundblaster z. however to stop the confusion of correct soundcard preference on my system i want to completly disable the radeons hdmi soundcard. i have already deactivated in kernel the hdmi hd audio codec module, but it seems the generic hd audio codec parser module seems to "detect" the radeons hdmi soundcard to my sorrow anyway. sadly i cannot simply deactivate the generic hd audio codec parser because it would render the creative ca0132 codec module and therefore my soundblaster z useless, already discovered that the hard kernel recompiling way. also i discovered that the kernel module drm_radeon seems to ignore the

mael,

It looks like your Soundblaster Z uses the snd_hda_intel kernel module.

You can pass parameters to snd_hda_intel when it loads. In particular, enable=

hi,

first thank you for your advise, but this solution does only seem to apply on systems with seperate device driver modules...

i have a monolitic kernel and dont wanna realy use any external modules... is there another way? something like blacklistening a specific soundcard by device id or device name? blacklistining a module wont work because as i wrote before i need at the current development stage of the soundblaster z drivers both ca0132 AND the generic hd audio parser compiled into the kernel!

mael,

It works with monolithic systems too. You pass the module parameter on the kernel command line.
Its easier to do trial and error with modules is all.

My example becomes
