No sound codec ESS8326 laptop N15 Air [SOLVED]

Good afternoon, dear! I bought a Ninker N15 Air laptop, since the hardware is new there, I installed Archlinux)))
Updated, KDE 6 and the system, everything is fine with everything. But there is no sound (only bluetooth), I ask for help.
Technical data
uname -a

Linux d-nout 6.10.7-arch1-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC 

lspci -k | grep audio

00:1f.3 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation Alder Lake-N PCH High Definition Audio Controller
	Subsystem: IP3 Tech (HK) Limited Device 6007
	Kernel driver in use: snd_hda_intel
	Kernel modules: snd_hda_intel, snd_soc_avs, snd_sof_pci_intel_tgl

aplay -l

Judging by the logs, the firmware is not loading. The ES8326 codec seems to be detected but does not work

Options

options snd-hda-intel dmic_detect=0
options snd-hda-intel model=laptop-amic enable=yes

They don't help.
Is it possible to correct the situation? I tried to run the latest Mint live cd on my laptop, but there is no sound there either.

Remove that config, install sof-firmware instead, reboot, still an issue?

I deleted the config, reinstalled the package

pacman -S sof-firmware

(it was the most recent), rebooted, there is no sound.

dmesg | grep firmware 

it doesn't show anything about sound. It looks like the ESS8326 codec does not require a firmware download

Re: No sound codec ESS8326 laptop N15 Air [SOLVED]

firmware doesn't need to be a hit, and it most certainly needs firmware, but yes ESS8326 based ones are somewhat known to be problematic

a better grep would be

sudo dmesg | grep -E 'snd|sof'
aplay -l

Re: No sound codec ESS8326 laptop N15 Air [SOLVED]

The sound appeared , the correct setting turned out to be

cat /etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf 
options snd-intel-dspcfg dsp_driver=3
