[Bug 1876499] [NEW] Using NVIDIA drivers 440 (tested) disables built-in laptop speakers

[d]

Public bug reported:

I have an external HDMI monitor attached to my laptop and the nouveau
drivers would detect it but I would only get a black screen and no
display beside the cursor.

Using the NVIDIA drivers makes the external monitor work but it then
disables the built-in audio and tries to send all audio via HDMI. Even
the headphones will stop working.

If I rollback with the zsys backup everything works again. Manually
reverting to nouveau doesn't bring the audio back.
