[SOLVED] onboard audio no longer detected

Until this issue started a few days ago, I used both my onboard audio as well as a C-Media PCI audio card.
A few days ago, after a boot, my onboard audio was no longer recognized. I noticed it first in pavucontrol,
and then I checked alsamixer, and it didn't see my onboard audio either. It seemingly dissappeared without
notice.

Here's the output of 'lspci -nn | grep -i audio':

01:00.1 Audio device [0403]: NVIDIA Corporation GK106 HDMI Audio Controller [10de:0e0b] (rev a1)
05:01.0 Multimedia audio controller [0401]: C-Media Electronics Inc CMI8738/CMI8768 PCI Audio [13f6:0111] (rev 10)



The first device is from my Nvidia graphics card. I would love to remove that BTW, I just don't know how.
The second is the C-Media PCI card.

There used to be a third device that was something like:
Audio device: Intel....
or something like that.

The night it happened, I was setting up Windows for a dual boot alongside Arch, and I was in the BIOS changing things, if that helps.

Re: [SOLVED] onboard audio no longer detected

Solved. I should have done this BEFORE posting.

I went back into the BIOS (well, UEFI, but it doesn't matter) and found that when I reverted to UEFI defaults that night, it changed the onboard audio controller to AUTO instead of ENABLED. I suppose that makes sense, if it's on auto and sees my other card, it probably thought it wasn't needed...
