No audio device found on Thinkpad

Hello, I have a Thinkpad X1 Yoga 4th gen which has a Whiskey Lake SoC i7-8665u. I have having Ubuntu for a while. But, these days I thought about switching to OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. At the momemt, I have installed Tumbleweed on an external NVMe SSD in anUSB case to try it out. Almost everything works fine and this morning I was actually thinking about interchanging the SSDs to make OpenSuse beeing installed internally. But, then I realised that there is no sound at all.

Of course, my Laptop does have a sound card, which works pretty fine on Kubuntu 21.10.
I hope that it isn’t a problem that the language on the screenshots is Dutch.

As I enter »lspci -v« there is an audio controller found well. Due to the text length restrictions here I can’t submit the entire output of »lspci -v«. If I search for “audio” in Konsole this is the section found:

But why doesn’t it work? What packages am I missing?[/size][/size]

Sorry, I can’t link the screenshots here.

Please start by sharing the output from the following commands…

inxi -Aa
sudo dmesg | egrep -i "snd|firmware"

Is sof-firmware installed?

zypper se sof-firmware

That can be accomplished using https://paste.opensuse.org/

I had a similar problem with a “Lenovo ThinkBook 14 G2 ITL (Serial Number MP23GGAX)” using Leap 15.3, installing sof-firmware solved.

Well done! :slight_smile:
