I've tried to install Gentoo on another ThinkPad, however I am facing problems with getting the audio to work. I've installed PipeWire by following the Wiki's guide, and installed ALSA, as specified in the Gentoo Wiki. So in summary, I've installed these packages:
Code:

media-libs/alsa-lib media-sound/alsa-utils media-video/pipewire media-video/wireplumber

I've also added these USE flags globally:
Code:

pulseaudio alsa

Still, I got no audio. So I ran `lspci -nn`, and found my audio device in this website:
https://linux-hardware.org/?id=pci:8086-9dc8-103c-8532
It says that I must enable these configuration flags:
Code:

CONFIG_SND CONFIG_SND_SOC CONFIG_SND_SOC_SOF_PCI

So I enabled them in the kernel's configuration using `make menuconfig`, rebuilt the kernel, installed the modules, and installed the kernel.
However, I get no audio. Running:
Code:

speaker-test -t wav -c 2

Gets no output to my speakers, and my guest VMs in `virt-manager` don't seem to output audio at all either (they do report that they have an audio device however).

Anyone know why this could be happening, and how this could be fixed? I would very much appreciate help with this!

Have you installed sys-firmware/sof-firmware ?

No. Installing it & rebuilding the kernel fixed the problem. Thanks![/glep]
