I'm experiencing a sound issue on a Lenovo P15s laptop having Ubuntu 22.04.2**

There is actually no sound at all; the sound settings displaying a single "DummyOutput" entry:

I went trough several topics, the most relevant being:

without success.

Here are some more information:

** after a firmware upgrade which apparently went wrong because during each reboot it's now written something like

1) "Reading ME Firmware... Please do not power off! 50% Completed"
2) "Recovering ME Firmware...Please do not power off! 10% Completed"
3) "Failed to recover ME Firmware..."

I tried to reinstall the available firmware downloaded from here:

But surprisingly (!), Lenovo is not providing firmwares for Ubuntu 22.04:

enter image description here

And it simply doesn't work:

$ sudo fwupdmgr --allow-older --allow-reinstall install n34rk01w.cab

I am trying to be exhaustive, but I may have missed some crucial information. Don't hesitate to tell me if that's the case.

I simply want my sound card to work again normally.

I solved this by running the command suggested here, by github user ruimbribeiro who had a same kind of issue on a Lenovo T14 Gen2i:

$ sudo fwupdmgr reinstall

2 <-- picking the second entry
# (...)
# reboot

Then, during the system reboot, I faced the same errors again:

1) "Reading ME Firmware... Please do not power off! 50% Completed"
2) "Recovering ME Firmware...Please do not power off! 10% Completed"
3) "Failed to recover ME Firmware..."

But this is normal, at this stage the system is not aware of the existence of the change I asked in the fwupdmgr reinstall command.

After that it passed by the splashscreen and then the screen stays black for roughly 1-2min.

It finally prints "System Reset" on the top-left.

And it rebooted again. Normally this time.

Everything is working fine now.
