The sound card just needs the up to date SOF driver. It works out of the box on Fedora 32.

Fedora 32 was released in April 21 2020. This laptop was released in october 2019.

Waiting 7 months to be able to use sound was not an option for me. I needed to use the microphone and headphones for work.

Luckily I managed to get Arch set up, which came with a recent enough kernel and SOF driver. As of June 2020, Ubuntu still does not.
