[solved] Audio issues: HP Zbook Create G7

I have just completed a fresh install on this Zbook Create G7 and after doing the usual I cannot seem to get audio working. Alsa and Pulseaudio are enabled. In Pulseaudio, I can only see a "Dummy output". Intel driver seems to be loaded.

After digging around, I think it has to do with missing drivers for this particular model, as only the HDMI playback devices are detected. Perhaps there's someone here with a similar laptop, or a fresh look on the problem?

For reference: I have tested on Windows (where audio works, output device is detected as Realtek - see screenshot) and Manjaro Gnome (where I am seeing the same behaviour as under Arch).

Re: [solved] Audio issues: HP Zbook Create G7

It's a sof card so you'd need the sof-firmware and alsa-ucm-conf packages. If you have them (and you rebooted) and it doesn't work try /etc/modprobe.d/dsp-fix.conf

options snd-intel-dspcfg dsp_driver=1

Re: [solved] Audio issues: HP Zbook Create G7

Installing sof-firmware was sufficient in this case, alsa-ucm-conf was already present. After a reboot all the relevant audio devices appeared. Didn't know about sof cards, this is the first time I'm confronted with them...

You've helped me out of a bind a couple of times V1del, much gratitude once again!
