Screen rainbowed and audio off sometimes when booting

So recently sometimes when i boot my display login promprt is going to the right side a bit and the whole screen is kind of RGB-line-rainbowed, along with the sound going off. The display issue can be solved by me killing bspwm, my window manager, and the sound issue (no sound cards detected basicaly) is solved by modprobing off and on snd_hda_intel.
Im giving you some xorg logs.
The 800-sec logs are probably when i remodprobebd my sound card drivers. Ive run paccheck integridy sum checks, reinstalled `linux`, but dont know what is wrong here.
Im on s6, if that matters.

Can you try using another kernel, like linux-lts or linux-zen?

Oh yeah, linux-lts works 100% fine.
Its every time i boot now, or it is okay only when i reboot.

and provide more info for us please --> read: https://forum.artixlinux.org/index.php/topic,1923.0.html
So now because ive booted a lot of times in a period or something the display isnt garbled, but the audio is off by default.
lsmod paste
lsusb paste
lspci -v paste
dmesg paste
And aplay -l:
Code: [Select]
aplay: device_list:274: no soundcards found...
unless i remodprobe the snd_hda_intel mentioned above

use you pulseaudio for audio?
please try older driver for nvidia

you have 2 graphic cards (Intel graphics + Nvidia) . are you sure, that you have it properly set up?

I use pulseaudio, doesnt matter the problem is that linux isnt detecting the sound card.

wasnt really all that autogenerated, doesnt matter.
The intel gpu is in use, always, except when i do `prime-run` (command, puts some envargs in the shell to make the program use the nvidia gpu), otherwise, the intel gpu is used.
