No sound on a new laptop

I have installed sof-firmware and alsa-firmware packages. Also I've unmute channels with alsamixer. At least I think so.

Re: No sound on a new laptop

Do you have pulseaudio or pipewire installed?  They can coexist;  I use pavucontrol (part of pulseaudio) as a GUI app to control my sound devices through pipewire+pulseaudio.  You may need to unmute the audio sink from either of those, instead of straight ALSA/alsamixer.

EDIT:  I see you have pipewire, jack and wireplumber installed, they're listed as your sound servers.  You'll need to unmute in your active sound server, not just ALSA/alsamixer.
