Hello everyone,
I recently switched from Fedora 33 to openSUSE Tumbleweed on the recommendation of a friend. I have a Lenovo Ideapad Flex 5, https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/in/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/flex-series/flex-5-14iil05/81x1/81x100fjin/r90ylt9f/downloads/order-recovery-media and the Intel Smart Sound Technology sound card was working flawlessly on Fedora 33 but the same is not the case on my openSUSE Tumbleweed installation. I have tried all the tutorials and troubleshooting with PulseAudio and alsamixer but nothing seems to work. It shows Dummy Output for speakers and absolutely nothing in the microphone section in both settings and in PulseAudio Volume Control. I don’t think it is a problem with my installation as the SHA256 checksum was matching and I have tried to make a bootable device with both Rufus and Balena Etcher in an attempt to dual boot openSUSE Tumbleweed with Windows 10. Neither my speakers, nor my microphone are working on openSUSE Tumbleweed but are working absolutely fine on Windows 10. I have also tried configuring the sound card from YaST > Hardware > Sound and this is visible there https://drive.google.com/file/d/1OiarhCl90kSfjNTMN89-mXNZk_gApdPJ/view?usp=sharing. The ‘Delete’ button does not work but the ‘Edit’ button does and when I click that I get the following errors for each of the configuration methods :
- Quick automatic setup: The kernel module snd-sof-pci for sound support could not be loaded. This can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
- Normal setup: The kernel module snd-sof-pci for sound support could not be loaded. This can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
- Advanced setup with possibility to change options: I have no idea what to do here so i am attaching a screenshot in case it might be of some help.

I would really appreciate it if someone in the community can guide me through this issue and help me fix it. I have heard about the openSUSE community in the past and the general consensus is that they are a community of friendly, active and skilled members. Hoping I will get to experience this first hand lol!
