I don't have your hardware to compare notes, but I suggest you start with
this:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/ALSA
and in particular boot with Ubuntu, or whichever liveUSB allows your audio to
work and run:
lsmod
lscpci | grep -i audio
lspci -knn
The above will give you a hint as to what drivers are required. In addition,
the output of dmesg will show any firmware your hardware needs. I expect you
would need to emerge:
media-sound/alsa-utils
sys-firmware/sof-firmware
Finally, you can compare Ubuntu's output of 'zcat /proc/config.gz' with the
audio modules you have enabled in your kernel and add what's relevant to your
hardware.
