I've got a HP OMEN 15 with a nvidia GTX 1050 running archlinux

I've used your service file together with bumblebee and bbswitch.

Ok this step was missing.

Ah I see.
Then I think this is basically somehow similar to my workaround using the 
snd_hda_intel modul parameter.
The nvidia card will just be completely "powered off" by not using it in any 
way (no module loaded)

I think some ACPI / PM guys should definitly check the audio part of the
GPU as there could be some issues related to this bug.


I will try it perhaps once again and give feedback here.
But honestly these tests are really harmful for me because it happens very 
often that some files are truncated to zero during this crash randomly and I've 
to restore backups then...
