Audio will not work on Dell laptop - just says "Dummy Output"

craigtoyoracer Sorry for late response - the speakers are built in and it doesn't register anything plugged into the headphone jack either. This is what I got for the command:

Appreciate the help btw . Yup, it's disabled. How would I go about enabling it? On my F12 boot configuration GUI there's a sound toggle which I have previously tried both on and off. Inxi gives me this:

Audio:
Device-1: Intel Tiger Lake-LP Smart Sound Audio
driver: sof-audio-pci-intel-tgl
Sound Server-1: ALSA v: k5.14.12-200.current running: yes
Sound Server-2: PulseAudio v: 15.0 running: yes

craigtoyoracer The only option for onboard devices was for drives, which was my single SSD...

craigtoyoracer There is an "Integrated Devices" tab which includes the previously mentioned audio toggles which I have turned on, and something called Thunderbolt which says if turned on any plugged in device can access the boot.
