[SOLVED]Kernel doesn't see the soundcard

Fresh install of arch, audio worked until reboot, but after I rebooted I am unable to turn the sound on. Windows (I have dual-boot) can use speakers just fine.

lspci -k -nn -d ::0403
0000:00:1f.3 Audio device [0403]: Intel Corporation Meteor Lake-P HD Audio Controller [8086:7e28] (rev 20)
	Subsystem: Dell Device [1028:0c63]
	Kernel driver in use: sof-audio-pci-intel-mtl
	Kernel modules: snd_hda_intel, snd_sof_pci_intel_mtl

Output of cat

cat /proc/asound/cards
--- no soundcards ---

alsa-firmware, sof-firmware are installed

Please use [code][/code] tags, not random markup. Edit your post in this regard.

Windows (I have dual-boot)

3rd link below. Mandatory.
Disable it (it's NOT the BIOS setting!) and reboot windows and linux twice for voodo reasons.

Please post your complete system journal for the boot:

sudo journalctl -b | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st

Re: [SOLVED]Kernel doesn't see the soundcard

I had it fast boot disabled, but went back to double check.

Here is the journal:

This is probably mostly redundant, but here is the output of the alsa-info script:
