Ok, but, did you make sure there were no conf files before that? This step (or of course you can check/delete manually using the file manager)
Reboot.

Alsamixer .. F6 .. select 1 ...

(Cause that looks like the output when there is the .conf file (snd_hda_intel in use rather than sof)

card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH]

card 1: NVidia [HDA NVidia]

In fact, what we're trying to do is just this: Patches/fixes are being applied in time. Once you know the correct chip name you can try an option (if there is one of course) looking here. ( "pinpoint" )

I.e. On most Dells the problematic one is ALC1220 and the solution (for that one) is to simply create a .conf file (as we did) and use the option: model=clevo-p950 and use sof driver..

I didn't check for the existence of any conf files for the sound - I just applied your line of code. Sorry.

This time, I did check through file manager.

Now, I have in Alsamixer:

Card 1 = sof-soundwire; chip = Intel Alderlake-P HDMI
Card 0 = HDA NVidia; Chip = Nvidia GPU 9f HDMI/DP

I know I asked this before, but is it possible that the file pc-speaker.conf could be causing an issue? (And that I tried editing the file without rendering any difference.) The contents of the file are:

# file /etc/modprobe.d/pc-speaker.conf
#
# The line below disables the audible beeping in the console (and
# also in X-windows?) If you want the beeping enabled then
# comment out the line below and then run:
#
# sudo modprobe snd-pcsp

blacklist snd-pcsp
blacklist pcspkr

- I ask because it seems to me "blacklist" seems to have a fair degree of stopping power, although I lack any real knowledge of such things.

I guess no, cause that one is standard (all of us have it ootb), which's just to prevent that "beep" (not to disable speakers completely).

In the meantime, since you don't have conf files (on sof driver currently) , you can now retry the .asound conf as in post #18

(I also wonder if there is a speaker (also a PCM) bar in Alsamixer now after you press f6 .. select card1 , then press F5 .. You can post a screenshot if you like)

It's done.

With the first option from post #18 in effect:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LkjjIr ... share_link

With the second option in effect:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-kPkG7 ... share_link

- I tried embedding the images in the message, but they wouldn't display - I hope the links work for you, because I adjusted the permissions in Drive. If not I'll put them into Dropbox.

Just the links are enough, with the img code tags they're not visible/clickable (in general) (I saw/opened them as if quoting from you :) )

Edit: It's ok now :)

Those with MM are "muted" (especially Headphone and Headset that may be useful). You can unmute/mute pressing M from keyboard.

But.. I guess the bars (those and Speaker) aren't able to rise with the arrow (up) key right?

That's correct. I tried them again, just prior to posting here.
