[Solved] No Sound Cards on Dell Laptop with Intel TL Smart Sound

I'm posting this because it took me two hours to figure out how to fix this issue, and hopefully this helps someone else out.

I was using pulseaudio on Sway (initially I tried installing pipewire, pipewire-pulse, and pipewire-media-session, but I uninstalled all of these to simplify the debugging process; they're now re-installed and work fine). I wasn't getting any sound cards when trying pacmd list-cards:

0 cards found.

Pulseaudio produced a dummy output and that was it.

I looked at journalctl -p 3:

sof-audio-pci-intel-tgl error: sof firmware file is missing, you might need to download it
error: failed to load DSP firmware -2
error: sof_probe_work failled err: -2

The relevant packages I needed to download were sof-firmware, alsa-ucm-conf AND sof-tools. I'm fairly certain it was the latter that solved this issue.

# pacman -S sof-firmware sof-tools alsa-ucm-conf

Relevant posts:

The second link details a solution that you might try if installing these packages and rebooting doesn't work.
