Quite possibly the system doesn't power up HDA controller when there's
no external monitor.
So when it's connected to external monitor, it's still needed for HDMI audio.
Let me ask the user to confirm this.

This was introduced in 2005, by Alan's 11f3859b1e85 ("[PATCH] PCI: Fix
regression in pci_enable_device_bars") to fix UHCI controller.

This approach has least regression risk.
