[SOLVED]Audio codec eating the most battery

Hello, I have got laptop Asus UX32LN.
After two days of installation of Arch started audio codec eating the battery:
3.27 W      100,0%                       Device         Audio codec hwC0D0: Intel
2.20 W      4,4%                           Device         Display backlight
1.06 W      0,0%                           Device         Display backlight
607 mW    100,0%                      Device         Radio device: asus-nb-wmi
I found some topics, which are about the same thing, but solution was nowhere.
Can somebody help me, what to do?
Btw process using audio codec is pulseaudio.
