You are missing (at least) one of the kernel driver packages, linux-modules-extra-5.13.0-22-generic
A manual installation should help, but sound probably will get lost again after a kernel update.

To ensure that the additional drivers are automatically installed, I suggest the following command:

sudo apt install linux-generic-hwe-20.04-edge
