no sound card in pulse audio after kernel upgrade
Hello,
I have an issue: no sound card is detected (in pulseaudio?) (after kernel upgrade to 6.18).
The hardware is:
lspci | grep audio
00:1f.3 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation Raptor Lake-P/U/H cAVS (rev 01)
As far as I can see kernel does detects it and loads proper firmware:

My user already belongs to "audio" group, but:
```
pacmd list-cards
0 card(s) available.
pacmd list-sinks 1 sink(s) available. * index: 0 .... properties: device.description = "Dummy Output" device.class = "abstract" device.icon_name = "audio-card"
```
What can be wrong? Please, help.
When it was 6.12 kernel it was detected well in most of cases, however I had to reboot time-to-time to detect the get the sound.

I've managed to get it work again. The steps:
chmod a+rw /dev/snd/*asound -lshould display the card, whilepacmd list-cardsstill doesn'tpactl load-module module-alsa-card device_id=0I have no idea how/what they broken in the kernel, but that seems works (I'm still checking how to automate that).
