Laptop speakers aren't picked up in fresh Arch install

I recently installed Arch on my ASUS Zenbook 14 OLED UX3402VA, and everything has worked so far, except audio. I have tried installing pipewire, but it didn't make any difference. I tried connecting IEMs using the 3.5mm jack but that doesn't pick them up either, so for audio I've just been using the bluetooth to connect AirPods. I also checked https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Laptop/ASUS#ZenBook but my laptop model isn't even listed. Any help is appreciated.

What does `lscpi | grep Audio` show? Did you install sof-firmware? Have you checked to see if it's just muted?

"lspci | grep -i audio" outputs "00:1f.3 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation Raptor Lake-P/U/H cAVS (rev 01)", I tried installing sof-firmware and it made no difference, and i tried unmuting but the speakers aren't even listed as a playback device.

Alright, with sof-firmware installed, let's look at the logs. `sudo journalctl -b | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st`

OK, installing sof-firmware must have fixed it and just needed a restart, because when I turned on my laptop today the speakers are now working, thank you for your help!
