I meant that you blacklist it from suspend[1], which would mean that the
driver is removed prior suspend and then loaded again. If you don't blacklist
it, then the system tries to suspend the device, which can cause problems if
the device and/or the driver do not properly support it. Thus removing it
before suspend and loading it again afterwards can have a different behavior.

[1] e.g. in /etc/pm/config.d/config:
SUSPEND_MODULES="$SUSPEND_MODULES snd_hda_intel"

Kind regards,
