Fresh Arch Linux doesn't detect soundcard

Hello. I'm new to Arch, coming over Debian. My computer is a laptop.

I've installed pulseaudio, alsa, alsa-utils, alsa-firmware and pavucontrol.
The only sound ouput that I have listed is "Dummy output" and no audio comes out of the internal speakers nor it detects my internal microfone.

I RTFM but with no success. I tried the session about "Set the default soundcard" and snd_hda_intel  here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ad … chitecture

Please, help!

Usefull outputs:

$uname -a

Re: Fresh Arch Linux doesn't detect soundcard

Welcome to the boards

You additionally need sof-firmware for this type of card.

Also please wrap command outputs in [ code ] [ /code ] tags without the spaces
