[19.10] Problem with my sound

Seems odd the screensaver would cause a disabled profile to enable again - unless of course the screen (or system) went to sleep, or there's some other configuration file lingering.

Try blacklisting the driver - that'll prevent the kernel from loading the sound card at all.

  1. Edit /etc/modprobe.d/snd-blacklist.conf as root

  2. Add the line - using your output above I would guess:

    blacklist snd_hda_codec_realtek

  3. Reboot or run:

    sudo modprobe -r snd_hda_codec_realtek

According to your motherboard's spec sheet, it's a Realtek® ALC887-VD2, sosnd_hda_codec_realtek sounds like the one.
