It worked fine in Ubuntu, without proprietary drivers enabled.
What do I have to do to enable it.

Re: No sound in Midori or Chromium

If you're used to how ubuntu does things you probably want to install pulseaudio or pipewire and an appropriate mixing utility like e.g. pavucontrol.

If you have those you aren't providing enough information, from "not working" what's the output of

sudo fuser -v /dev/snd/*
aplay -lL
pactl list sinks
pactl list sink-inputs

Re: No sound in Midori or Chromium

Your pulseaudio is not accessible for some reason

loginctl session-status
systemctl --user status pulseaudio
journalctl -b --user-unit pulseaudio

Re: No sound in Midori or Chromium

It is somehow working now. Which could be from the first set of commands failing and making me install their respective packages.
