Lenovo 14AHP10 - Sound sounds like only coming from tweeters

Hi all,

Prefacing with that I am by no means an arch or Linux pro, I just really want to move away from Windows in my life.
Having an issue with sound sounding very tinny on the speakers. I've seen some forum posts on older laptops, especially the previous model (14AHP9), but the fixes don't seem to be fixing.

I've installed sof-firmware, I've edited /etc/modprobe.d/snd.conf with

options snd-sof-intel-hda-generic hda_model=alc287-yoga9-bass-spk-pin

My inxi -Fzxx printout is the following:

I did not, we're now three in the company with the same laptop and none the wiser

Everything else is stellar though, but meetings are a pain without BT headphones.

Re: Lenovo 14AHP10 - Sound sounds like only coming from tweeters

Are you using a docking station with the laptop ?

I have a Sonnettech Echo 20 which is a big and expensive dock, I am not able to charge the battery with it,  and the usb to hdmi is not working  (it works on my previous hardware)
