Audio device: Intel Corporation Sunrise Point-LP HD Audio (rev 21)

It has been a while since i had any audio-related problems with linux.
About 12 years ago, i upgraded Debian 4 to 5 or 6 and sometimes i couldn't get any sound out. I fixed that by saying "chmod o+rw /dev/dsp" as root.

Now it seems that there is no such thing as /dev/dsp anymore.

And the problem is, with this Fujitsu Lifebook U728 machine+Devuan Chimaera as OS,i can't get any sound out of it.
Audio mixer->Output Devices->show hardware outpur devices doesn't show any device at all.
Once played around with alsamixer. Didn't do anything at all.

Found this: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=265211 , tried that "options snd-intel-dspcfg dsp_driver=1"-thing. Still hearing only the sound of silence.

Any ideas what to try next?

"lspci | grep -i audio" says:

00:1f.3 Audio device: Intel Corporation Sunrise Point-LP HD Audio (rev 21)

"lspci | grep -i sunrise" says also:

00:15.0 Signal processing controller: Intel Corporation Sunrise Point-LP Serial IO I2C Controller #0 (rev 21)
00:15.1 Signal processing controller: Intel Corporation Sunrise Point-LP Serial IO I2C Controller #1 (rev 21)

those lines may have something to do with that "dsp_driver=1"-thing.

So, any ideas how to make xfce's audio mixer find that sunrise audio device?

Quick solution would be to buy an usb soud card. I know one card that Just Works or at least it used to.
But it would be better to make the internal sound chip work.

maybe the second line is a good starting point, maybe not.

A similar issue was discussed two weeks ago. Maybe you can read it?

Hi, I use the same tech to keep hdmi out of my way.

.asoundrc overrides the automagic. No sound for other users incl root unless I add the rc file to their accounts.

Guess i'll look into that asound-thing some day. I may get bored booting with "super grub disk"-method, and kill 2 birds with 1 stone.
Not yet fully convinced that this sound problem is about configuration, but i'll find out soon enough.
