nbfc doesn't work properly on Asus Laptop

nbfc aka notebook fancontrol doesn't work properly on my laptop. It is able to control fan speed at some boots but not others. This issue arose after update of nvidia packages. I checked boot log and one difference caught my attention. I’m not sure the root of issue is whether HDA controller or not but it may be. What is "Enabling HDA controller" and how can I prevent nvidia to interference to HDA controller or if I'm wrong about HDA controller, how can I debug this problem?

no problem case: journalctl -b | grep ‘Enabling HDA controller’
