Internal speaker not detected [SOLVED]

I have tried on both Hyprland and Plasma and have installed all the recommended audio libraries, however my laptops internal speaker is not being detected.
My laptop is a Dell Inspiron 14 7420 2-in-1 that I am dual booting Arch with Windows on. The speaker works fine in windows.

Install the sof-firmware package

Not directly related but also not likely to be what you want, disable dhcpcd if you're using NetworkManager with it's internal dhcp client.
