Hey guys,
I've run into some driver issues again. I figured I'd post here for help and posterity. I'm trying to get sound working on my Dell XPS 9520 with SOF on a custom (minimal) kernel (without module support) and PipeWire
| Code: | $ doas lspci -v

I've enabled everything I thought to be relevant to SOF per the architecture manual (especially "Please note that HDA controller initialization and stream management are mandatory for Intel SKL+ platforms even if no HDA/HDMI-codec support is required, because the host DMA and stream control registers are part of HDA controller") and this Github gist, i.e.
| Code: | SND_HDA_INTEL
SND_HDA_CODEC_REALTEK (for the XPS 9520 codec)
SND_HDA_CODEC_HDMI
SND_SOC_INTEL_SST_TOPLEVEL
SND_SOC_INTEL_USER_FRIENDLY_LONG_NAMES
SND_SOC_INTEL_SKL_HDA_DSP_GENERIC_MACH
SND_SOC_SOF_TOPLEVEL
SND_SOC_SOF_INTEL_TOPLEVEL
SND_SOC_SOF_TIGERLAKE (Alder Lake is typically bugged; doesn't make a difference)
SND_SOC_SOF_HDA_LINK
SND_SOC_SOF_HDA_AUDIO_CODEC
SND_SOC_DMIC
SND_SOC_HDA

yet sof-audio-pci-* isn't even showing up in my dmesg, let alone that it's letting me know firmware is missing (which I believe it should, as I have disabled modules). Also, ALSA reports "No soundcards found." despite
listing "Built-in Audio Analog Stereo" as a sink and audio working (albeit badly)
Could anyone with experience with ALSA and/or SOF please recommend a course of action to debug this mess? |

| ALSA reports 'no soundcards found' even on my 2017 KabyLake, but everything is working. So this message is probably a red herring |
