Comment 3 for bug 1800118

Sure
Nvidia NVHDA Sound works only with a PATCH!
NVHDA does not persist after Suspend or Hibernating (my System Fully
Supports BOTH)

I have workarounds

and WOW Good News My Myriad of acpi 3400 errors are gone !
but this all seems ACPI related to HDMI and NVHDA

logs show a LOT LESS errors than ever (6 weeks with this new Computer) so
things are getting better fast awesome
Here are some new bugs
16 times
ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed \_SB.WMID.WMAA,
AE_AML_BUFFER_LIMIT (20180531/psparse-516)
162 !!! Times
ACPI Error: Skip parsing opcode Method (20180531/psloop-542)
