Running sudo modprobe nvhda returns:

You have secure boot enabled so you'll have to sign the module. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UEFI/SecureBoot/Signing

Which file do I need to sign specifically? And which one do I need to use from that link sbsign or kmodsign? I'm new to the linux world and I think I can figure out the signing part, but if you have a reference to that'd be helpful. Thanks for your time!

I'm neither using Ubuntu nor secure boot but my guess would be
sudo kmodsign sha512 /var/lib/shim-signed/mok/MOK.priv /var/lib/shim-signed/mok/MOK.der nvhda.ko
and then specify the password you created on install. Maybe you will have to find the path to nvhda.ko

Thanks for your help, but it'll probably take a while until I figure this out. Its not urgent matter for me, its just a nice to have, you know, listening through my widescreen speakers, I can always just plug an aux and boom it away. Its kinda painful that this stuff doesn't come working out of the box like it is in Windows, which I ditched and don't regret. But this kind of stuff is like a little rock in a shoe.
