Basically, after a fresh install of Garuda, on a brand new Razer Blade 16, I have no sound. There seems to be a few topics across the internet on this. Most recommend installing sof-firmware sof-tools alsa-ucm-conf, which were already on my system. Others said to go into the alsa mixer and ensure spdif is off, devices are unmuted, volume is up, etc. I did work through each device, and all seems in order.
Thoughts?

Oddly enough, the MIC is working, I see the input indicator moving when speaking.
