The solution is to ensure you have the appropriate sof-firmware package installed, which contains these files. Users on Arch Linux, for example, have noted that sound works after installing the correct firmware package. For other distributions, ensure the sof-firmware package is installed and updated. In some cases, you may also need to manually link a file (e.g., creating a symbolic link to an existing sof-tgl-es8336-dmic2ch-ssp0.tplg file if the system expects a different name).

Follow these troubleshooting workflows sequentially to safely restore sound capabilities.
If the SOF driver is failing, you can force your system to use the older, more generic HDA driver. Add this line to a new file at /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf :
