No Sound in Deepin 20.08 on Intel Based Sound Cards

After installing Deepin 20.08, everything appears to be working with the exception of the Sound Card. The computer is a Lenovo Ideapad 5i, Intel Core i7, with 12 GB of Ram. In every other linux Distro placed on the laptop, the sound car works with no issue, I have checked all the pulse audio dependencies, they are all present, however in the system tray in shows a disabled sound card.

In the sound Settings, no output or input device is shown.

However in the Device Manager the Audio device is correctly displayed as present and installed with no issues.

Currently I have no sound on the computer and would really prefer not to change the operating system, please an help you can provide toward resolving would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I'm very sorry to bring you some usage problems. From the description of the phenomenon, it seems that maybe the current system is not compatible with the sound card of this device.
I wonder if switching a kernel has an effect?
You can execute the following command in the terminal and output the hardware configuration information for you to see the device configuration first:sudo apt install inxi -y && inxi -F

Here is the device configuration from the "inxi" command, like I said earlier all devices are present and appear to be installed correctly, it would seem to me like the issue is a configuration problem in deepin itself, for all i can tell the sound card should be working but it is not:

Did you manage to solve this problem?

I managed to get sound working by reverting to the old intel-hda driver.

Create /etc/modprobe.d/audiofix.conf with:

options snd-hda-intel dmic_detect=0
options snd-hda-intel model=laptop-amic enable=yes

The first line is to enable the speaker, the second for the internal microphone.

Reboot & confirm it's using intel-hda:

$ inxi -A

Sound Server: ALSA v: k5.18.17-amd64-desktop-community-hwe
