 Odd.  I don't think the modifications to the driver themselves could have
 any effect.
 All I did was to add a "load_driver_settings()" call (Driver Settings
 API), and reset any of the default parameters (sample rate, buffer size &
 count, etc.) that are in the settings file.  If the file is absent, it
 should have zero effect.  (You can see the patch in ticket #9134.)

 The only remote possibility I can think of is buffer size.  With the AUICH
 driver on my old machine, as I remember, the default size also was likely
 to generate silence (as well as having long latency) but I had no trouble
 once I reduced it.  (auich has built in capability to use driver
 settings.)  Dunno if there's anything similar with HDA, but if you still
 have the settings file and use the modified driver, it might set up a
 better buffer size.
