HDMI audio playback device disappears after changing PCI slot of Nvidia 3070

Graphics / Linux Linux

I decided to change the PCI location of my Nvidia 3070 for a better case airflow. Unfortunately, this has made a victim on my Archlinux: the HDMI audio playback is nowhere to be seen any more.
I can see the audio device with lspci:

    jack@jackdesk ~ $ lspci | grep Audio 
    04:00.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation Device 228b (rev a1)

but it is not available for playback (e.g. via aplay -l or pacmd list-cards).

This is the output of nvidia-smi:

The audio device doesn’t get an irq assigned on that slot

[    1.775750] snd_hda_intel 0000:04:00.1: can't find IRQ for PCI INT B; please try using pci=biosirq

like due to the kernel parameter acpi=noirq being set. Please remove.

thank you, thank you, thank you!!! removing the acpi=noirq makes the HDMI sound device appear again!
two questions if I may: 1) now when starting it says:

[    0.003552] __common_interrupt: 1.55 No irq handler for vector
[    0.003552] __common_interrupt: 2.55 No irq handler for vector
[    0.003552] __common_interrupt: 3.55 No irq handler for vector
[    0.003552] __common_interrupt: 4.55 No irq handler for vector
[    0.003552] __common_interrupt: 5.55 No irq handler for vector
[    0.003552] __common_interrupt: 6.55 No irq handler for vector
[    0.003552] __common_interrupt: 7.55 No irq handler for vector
[    0.003552] __common_interrupt: 8.55 No irq handler for vector
[    0.003552] __common_interrupt: 9.55 No irq handler for vector
[    0.003552] __common_interrupt: 10.55 No irq handler for vector

should I worry about this?

  1. should I try the pci=biosirq suggested in the line you highlighted?

again, you solved a huge problem, thanks a lot!!

The messages can be safely ignored. If the audio works now, don’t add any kernel parameters.
