nouveau only does HDMI(/DP) audio. A different driver will handle a
built-in sound card (e.g. snd_hda_intel). You might want to reach out
to your distro's support channels to better diagnose what's going on.
Unlikely to have anything to do with nouveau. More likely that you had
added "acpi=off" to hack around this. Or perhaps pci=nomsi for a
broken audio adapter? Don't know. dmesg (not to mention google) will
have the answers.
