Device is an Asus Chromebook.

Soundcard is detected by lspci:

jasper@crbook1:~$ lspci -v | grep -A7 -i "audio"
00:0e.0 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation Celeron N3350/Pentium N4200/Atom E3900 Series Audio Cluster (rev 0b)
        Subsystem: Intel Corporation Celeron N3350/Pentium N4200/Atom E3900 Series Audio Cluster
        Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 25
        Memory at c2b18000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
        Memory at c2900000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=1M]
        Capabilities: <access denied>
        Kernel driver in use: snd_soc_skl
        Kernel modules: snd_hda_intel, snd_soc_skl, snd_sof_pci_intel_apl

But on sound settings page, only the dummy device shows up; 'no hw output devices are available'.

Similarly with aplay:

jasper@crbook1:~$ aplay -l
aplay: device_list:274: no soundcards found...

Tried running sudo alsa force-reload.

Tried sudo modprobe for the listed kernel modules.

edit:

There is a audio-script repository for Chromebooks, which works for Ubuntu 22.10 and later versions. I have tested that it works on Ubuntu and Kubuntu 23.04.

git clone https://github.com/eupnea-linux/audio-scripts
cd audio-scripts
./setup-audio

And reboot.

The repo mentioned in Archisman Panigrahi's answer was deleted, but based on the owner's name, I found another project (similar/same) that worked for me on Lubuntu 23.10/Chromebook Lenovo 500e. This is the repository: https://github.com/WeirdTreeThing/chromebook-linux-audio

To install the script, open a terminal and run:

git clone https://github.com/WeirdTreeThing/chromebook-linux-audio
cd chromebook-linux-audio
./setup-audio
