First, I have to say that I have probably bought the worst laptop in the history of Linux
After this
And this (solved at least, yay!)
Now comes my third nightmare: No Sound with a weird card
First of all the inxi output we all love in this forum:
Here we can see this driver: sof-audio-pci-intel-apl
If I do the aplay -l:
I can switch to the intel legacy hd-intel driver with modprobe.d option:
But still no sound despite this switch. With aplay -l I get a number of results like:
I have downloaded and installed the 2.2 firmware from repo: https://github.com/thesofproject/sof-bin

Neither pulseaudio or alsa recognize a soundcard:
Alsa:
So far I haven't found any other workaround to proceed.
