Manjaro doesn't detect sound card

[alma]

i've recently installed manjaro and it seems that it does not detect my Realtek sound card. I tried the solutions suggested on other threads and switching the kernel as well but they all failed.
aplay -l

aplay: device_list:274: no soundcards found...

inxi -Fx output :

welcome to Manjaro @alma

system is partially recognising the audio device

Device-1: Intel Cannon Lake PCH cAVS vendor: Dell driver: sof-audio-pci bus ID: 00:1f.3 
           Sound Server: ALSA v: k5.5.8-1-MANJARO

this laptop has a digital dual microphone array, and needs a new driver that has only recently been supported by Linux kernel

if aplay -l command fails to find any soundcards, probably need to install package sof-firmware

use this command in terminal - pacman -S sof-firmware

once that is installed, restart system to reload the audio device with the firmware

another user with an Inspiron 7590 laptop has confirmed Sound Open Firmware driver works

@Olomorn

I just installed the update and sof-firmware and it works like a charm thank you !

[alma]

it works now. Thank you !!
