Description grmat 2019-07-26 17:11:44 UTC
GPU: Polaris 10/Ellesmere (RX 480)

According to the documentation amdgpu.audio=0 should disable audio functionality. However, the HDMI audio devices are still present.

Not a bug.  Two things:
1. The audio parameter just ignores the speakers in the display and treats it like a display without speakers.  It does not make the audio device disappear.
2. The audio parameter only works with the legacy non-DC display support (amdgpu.dc=0)

Thanks for your reply.

1. But the sound *is* playing, b/c DC is default.
2. I've seen it (only w/o DC) is documented in recent kernel docs. I previously put confidence in the modinfo output, where it isn't.
