No sound card found.

I recently installed Arch in my laptop after ssd had to be replaced, I've been using arch for 4 months with GNOME but the sound worked fine for me, but now I tried using Hyprland so I had to configure the drivers manually too this time(IDK exactly)

lspci -v | grep -A7 -i "Audio"

yields

01:00.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation GA104 High Definition Audio Controller (rev a1)
	Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device 8a44

06:00.7 Signal processing controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD] Sensor Fusion Hub

and

aplay -l

gives

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

amixer only shows one bar (Master) which I've tried unmuting but on using pavucontrol its listed as a virtual output device "Dummy output"

amixer -c N

for any N yields

Invalid card number 'N' 

and

sudo fuser -v /dev/snd/*

gives

Specified filename /dev/snd/* does not exist.

Re: No sound card found.

-k would be an interesting lspci flag. While we're at it

sudo dmesg | grep -E 'snd|sof'

educated guess, you're missing and would be requiring the sof-firmware package.

Re: No sound card found.

Update:

With new kernel updates it showed no device found in ../snd/.. and now sound is working
