Problem

sof-firmware isn't in iso/packages.x86_64. Most Intel laptops from about 2019 on, and many AMD ones, need it for internal speakers and mics.

Fix

Add sof-firmware (and alsa-firmware for older cards) to iso/packages.x86_64, next to the PipeWire block.

Acceptance

pacman -Q sof-firmware succeeds on an installed system, and scripts/smoke-test.sh checks it.

Source: BOS v0.6.2 source review (tag dated 2026-09-19). Read AGENTS.md first. One issue per branch/PR. Add a CHANGELOG [Unreleased] entry.

Implemented the ISO audio firmware fix in PR #68: added sof-firmware and alsa-firmware, added a smoke-test check for sof-firmware, and recorded the change under [Unreleased]. Verified with bash -n scripts/smoke-test.sh, git diff --check, and static presence checks. Please review.

Reviewed PR #68, looks ready to merge. Acceptance mapping: (1) pacman -Q sof-firmware succeeds after install: iso/packages.x86_64:104-106 adds both firmware packages; the existing Calamares unpackfs flow copies the live squashfs into the target, and post-install.sh removes only its explicit live-only package list, which does not include either firmware package. (2) scripts/smoke-test.sh checks the installed package at scripts/smoke-test.sh:41-42. The required [Unreleased] entry is at CHANGELOG.md:23-25. The smoke test's pacman -Qq query checks observable installed-package state. bash -n scripts/smoke-test.sh and git diff --check pass. No PR CI status is reported; repo guidance says ordinary PRs do not run CI. I did not run a full installer acceptance test. BOS is release-sensitive, so I am leaving the merge to the user.
