[SOLVED] Soundcard not detected / Audio not working dummy audio

So i got my hands on a thinkpad T430s, installed arch and everything is working except audio. I followed arch-wiki and installed alsa-firmware, sof-firmware and tried fixes from all around the web but it's still not working. Audio output now shows as Dummy Output. I'm sorry if this is completely my fault or I did something wrong. If output of those 2 commands is not enough to troubleshoot this issue feel free to ask a command output that you need.

aplay -l output:

aplay: device_list:279: no soundcards found...

lspci -v | grep -A7 -i "audio" output:

lspci: Unable to load libkmod resources: error -2

Re: [SOLVED] Soundcard not detected / Audio not working dummy audio

"now shows as dummy" -- did it ever not show as dummy? "fixes around the web" -- which fixes? Post exact files and adjustments done.

sudo journalctl -b
grep -ER 'snd|intel' /etc/modprobe.d /etc/modules-load.d
