No sound Ubuntu 22.10 on Surface Studio 2

As a fairly inexperienced Linux user, I have installed Ubuntu 22.10 on a Microsoft Surface Studio 2. PErhaps this was not the best idea :). Using the MS Surface Kernel from Github.

I don't yet want to give up. After a lot of trial and error everything appears to be working except for the sound. When playing sound I do see the "sound bars" move in the settings, but there is no sound coming from the speakers in the monitor.

I have found a lot of trouble shooting guides but nothing appears to solve the issue. I have tried reinstalling pulseaudio, removing pipewire. Reloading Alsa, Jack Retasking. From what I read is that with 22.10 there is a change to PipeWire as the default, so a lot of old trouble shooting guides are (potentially) not actual anymore.

It's a Realtek ALC298 card I believe.

$ lspci -nnk | grep -A2 Audio

pulseaudio --check just returns an empty line

Any tips would be amazing.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
