No sound on fresh install

Fresh install of bazzite on a very new pc build: B850 board with a Ryzen 9 9900x. I'm not getting any audio output and audio devices are showing up with chipset names like Family 17h/19h or GA104 in pulse audio or pavucontrol. I've tried a few things to troubleshoot but I'm pretty convinced it's a driver compatibility issue with newer hardware - the analog stereo output profile claims it is unplugged and unavailable

what does alsamixer (F6 to choose correct device) show when headphones/speakers are plugged in? specifically at "Speaker" and/or "Headphone" mixers that's how you know you have the correct device selected What happens if you type alsactl monitor and then unplug, and replug your device?

after making sure everything is fine and no connector pins are bent check if alsactl monitor shows plug in events Also, might be a good idea to post output of wpctl inspect on both Family 17h/19h/1ah HD Audio Controller Pro sinks just put the number of the sink after inspect
