pomon Okay, I tried driver blacklisting again. This time I created the file and folder /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf in Nemo with root privileges instead of using the command line. Now after rebooting, the intel driver is blacklisted successfully.
Now the following commands look like this:
user@user ~ $ inxi -Axx | grep driver
Device-1: Intel Alder Lake PCH-P High Definition Audio driver: N/A
user@user ~ $ lsmod | grep sof

I have sof-firmware installed, but is it not found?
