No, this report is against ALC5623, which does appear to have widgets.
I was remarking that this looks like the same kind of issue I had with
UDA134x.

Note that the report indicates that the bias setting remains off while
playing, and ALC5623 does this:

        case SND_SOC_BIAS_OFF:
                /* everything off, dac mute, inactive */
                snd_soc_write(codec, ALC5623_PWR_MANAG_ADD2, 0);
                snd_soc_write(codec, ALC5623_PWR_MANAG_ADD3, 0);
                snd_soc_write(codec, ALC5623_PWR_MANAG_ADD1, 0);

So if everything on the codec is powered down, it's not surprising that
there is no audio output.
