Devices that were not updated correctly:

 • System Firmware (1.3.0 → 1.23.0)

Devices that have been updated successfully:

 • BC511 NVMe SK hynix 512GB (11001101 → 11004101)

If I reboot then I see that BIOS version is on version 1.23.0

I ve booted with live usb either ubuntu 22.04 or 23.04 and I still have Dummy Output and no soundcard.

Any ideas?

I was able to fix the problem with the solution provided here

https://askubuntu.com/a/1295435/1072868

Added /etc/default/grub to be:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="snd-intel-dspcfg.dsp_driver=1"

And then executed

sudo update-grub

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.
