By default, the sound card is disabled, there is no output to the speakers and there is no way to connect a Bluetooth headset. The image does not contain required firmware blobs, so it is necessary to install them. The following script installs the blobs and configures PipeWire to use the sound card.

Configuration
Sound
Important
The user must belong to the audio and pipewire groups, otherwise the daemon will not connect to the sink.
The user must belong to the audio and pipewire groups, otherwise the daemon will not connect to the sink.
Install media-video/pipewire with the following USE flags: sound-server, pipewire-alsa, bluetooth (optional).
The sound doesn't work out of the box, so you have to manually specify the sink and source. In the case of Bluetooth or 3.5mm jack, no additional configuration is required.
