No soundcard found on new laptop

[argonaut459]

Good evening,
im running a live version of 21 ahs, everything works fine and dandy but I realized I dont have sound at all.
if I run mx soundcard, it says "no soundcard found"
Well thats not true, as Win 10 S - has sound and its working fine enough for zoom meetings in university.

How do I enable that I have sound?
So far I updated all that is possble (I think)
Upgraded all that is possibel (I think)

Thank you very much in advance.

Searching online, I see several reports of trouble on linux with the Intel Celeron/Pentium Silver Processor High Definition Audio. It looks like a sof-firmware problem.
You may need to go into MX Package Installer, the MX Test Repo tab and install firmware-sof-signed.

The OP may have to make a persistent Live USB to reboot with the newer sof firmware (2.1.1).

But there's also a newer 2.2.2 upstream in Debian that I will backport.

Here are the newer sof 2.2.2 firmware debs if you want them before they go to AHS:

Thank you for the fast replies.
Sadly I have no clue how to do that.

Links to these topics very much welcome.

First the persistent live sounds like a good idea. I assume it is like I can load into the updated live saved on the USB stick whenever I plug it in and boot from it. Right?

I'll see if I find these files in the test repo.
If I don't, how do I install the 2 options you showed me?

Linux noob trying my best to make it right :)

Was trying to create a persistance file with the Remaster tool.
When clicking on the usb stick (that currently has the ventoy iso's of which I run this liveUSB) it gives me an error.
See Screenshots.

In Thunar, i can't check how much space I still got on the Ventoy USB nothing happens - I think I at the very first moment got a message that said "can't mount"

Do I need an empty USB to create these persistance USB?

There are so many files, which one do I need?
Should I try this one first, or the one in the Test Repo?

As nothing of he persist options were working, I installed MX normally alongside Win10 S
worked fine (except sound)
than I realized I didn't have wifi for 3 hours. Strangely Win10 didn't connect either.

So right after the install finished I installed the Test Repo version of the Sound driver, rebooted.
Nothing, still the same no soundcard available.
