     This occurs when the access to non-existing or non-working codec slot
     (likely a modem one) causes a stall of the communication via HD-audio
     bus.  You can see which codec slots are probed by enabling
-    CONFIG_SND_DEBUG_DETECT, or simply from the file name of the codec
+    CONFIG_SND_DEBUG_VERBOSE, or simply from the file name of the codec
     proc files.  Then limit the slots to probe by probe_mask option.
     For example, probe_mask=1 means to probe only the first slot, and
     probe_mask=4 means only the third slot.
