No Sound - XPS 17 9720 - Linux 5.18.12-arch1-1

I just installed arch fresh on this laptop and seems sound has issues.
I have gone thru the Alsa section with trying to unmute channels with zero success.
alsa-ucm-conf is installed as well as sof-firmware
version: alsa-ucm-conf 1.2.7.2-1 , sof-firmware 2.2-1

When I install sof-firmware i get hangs on shutdown where the system locks up indefinitely.
removing sof-firmware solves the shutdown issues, but neither having it installed or uninstalled has any affect on sound working or not.
Below is some info.

Re: No Sound - XPS 17 9720 - Linux 5.18.12-arch1-1

Hi,

I don't know if it can help you, but I had a similar issue on XPS 9320

See my post

So, for me the problem was having the i915 module in intird. (may not apply to you)

Otherwise, to avoid the hang, you have to stop gdm, remove all snd-* modules and soundwire* modules

Hope it helps

Re: No Sound - XPS 17 9720 - Linux 5.18.12-arch1-1

The new 5.19 kernel will be fix the sound on my 9520.. Probably it fix the 9720 too
