No sound on KDE Plasma [SOLVED]

Hello there, I've recently installed arch linux on my new HP Laptop, and just noticed I do not have sound, thanks to Fallout: New Vegas and Skyrim giving me an error upon launch about no sound device.

aplay -l gives me this:

aplay: device_list:274: no soundcards found...

and cat /proc/asound/cards gives me this:

--- no soundcards ---

lspci tells me I have a soundcard though:

0000:00:1f.3 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation Tiger Lake-LP Smart Sound Technology
Audio Controller (rev 20)
       DeviceName: Onboard - Sound
       Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device 87f4
       Kernel driver in use: sof-audio-pci-intel-tgl
       Kernel modules: snd_hda_intel, snd_sof_pci_intel_tgl

I've tried other distros before sticking with arch on this laptop and all had sound.
Can anyone help?

Install the sof-firmware package.
