Components used in the machine may be listed.
I got lucky on a HP laptop with an Ice Lake processor
(https://linux-hardware.org/?probe=1686ba2df4). The device ELAN0712:00
(04F3:30FD Mouse) was not listed in the database, and the vendor is
Unknown (https://linux-hardware.org/?device_vendor=Unknown+%2830FD%29&device_type=touchpad),
but it was supported by the kernel.

As a test, you might try a Fedora Live ISO. F37 currently provides the
6.1.18-200 kernel. Fedora is about as recent as you can get, short of
compiling your own kernel.
Debian Bookworm has the 6.1.15 kernel currently.
If you find sound works with Fedora 37, then you may need to look for
a distro that provides a 6.x kernel.
