Comment 30 for bug 1377653

This bug needs to be moved from the alsa-driver/pulseaudio thread and moved to either nouveau or nvidia packages.

The issue why this is not fixed as far as I can figure out is because the address modified with the setpci command is not documented by nvidia and thus cannot be added to the official drivers. You do not want to have any dirty hacks that are based on rumours/forum-posts only in production-level drivers.

as a side note: #19+#24 is still needed on ubuntu 18.04 for the audio device to show up.
