Thinkpad Yoga S3 - no soundcard detected

I have 1st gen thinkpad yoga s3 (14 inch) laptop and have troubles with sound card on it. Looks like it is not detected by the system. (I have windows 10 in dual-boot and have no sound in windows too. With some drivers the card is detected but doesn't work, with other drivers it's not even detected.) But BIOS detects audio controller on PCI bus and reports that it's ok.

Alsamixer shows 2 "sound cards" (HDA Intel HDMI and Thinkpad Console Audio control), levels on every channel set on zero, and doesn't allow to change levels. Feels very strange O_o

Any ideas are highly appreciated. Thanks.

Here's some system info, please feel free to request other things.

Re: Thinkpad Yoga S3 - no soundcard detected

Maybe I should ask in another way. Are there any hope that sound card doesn't work for software reasons?
