Nouveau will have registered a second sound adapter (whose sound would get piped out through HDMI / DP ports, if available). Make sure you're still using the "right" audio hardware in your settings. You can also check that pstate file I was talking about earlier to adjust the power levels of the GPU (either more power / more heat / less battery or less power / less heat / more battery...)

We enforce a max of 165mhz on those boards for HDMI (this is what the HW is rated for). If you feel like forcing it, you can boot with nouveau.hdmimhz=300 to allow the 4k resolution. Note that it's a weaker GPU, and 4k will not be great on it anyways. -ilia ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 18+ messages in thread
