[SOLVED]Completely disable ati hdmi audio

Question

Since last update of kernel I have problems with my sound.
I have Audigy SE, sound card on motherboard is disabled. But my Ati 4850 (with open source drivers) gives me a headache.
It has a sound card which I cannot disable.
I have tried
this
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Al … on_Startup
file /etc/asound.conf added this
ctl.dmixer {
type hw
card CA0106
this
http://www.thinkdigit.com/forum/856740-post4.html
in file /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base I have added
options snd_ca0106 index=0
options snd_hda_intel index=1
this
http://www.thinkdigit.com/forum/857294-post8.html
in file /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist I have added
blacklist snd_hda_intel
Before update intervention was simple
/boot/grub/menu.lst
kernel /vmlinuz-linux root=/dev/sda6 ro radeon.audio=0
I added "radeon.audio=0" and sound problem was gone, but this tweak does not work any more...
I want to completely disable ati audio driver, does anybody knows how?
Thanks.

Files in /etc/modprobe.d need to end in .conf. That's why your configuration attempts don't take. Your alsa-base example will work, as long as the file is named alsa-base.conf. Hmm, and now that I think of it, even blacklisting snd_hda_intel will work, but again, the file needs to be blacklist.conf
