It's now loading intel drivers (it's an amd ryzen with amd audio hardware). I either need to reinstall the audio stack or I need to reinstall altogether. I don't see any way to re-install the audio stack from scratch. That's all handled during install.

Run alsamixer in terminal and hit F6 key
This should list cards available on your system. On mine I have HDA Nvidia and HD Audio generic. If you have more than 1 card listed arrow down and hit enter to select one of the cards. Esc key exits alsamixer. Run speaker-test. If no sound run alsamixer again and select next card. Repeat speaker-test.
