No sound to laptop speakers

Hi, so I have problems with my laptop audio. Headphones work both with Bluetooth and by type C cable. I have tried some things that I could find online. I updated the kernel and installed pipe wire and PulseAudio. I have also tried to unmute with amixer.

This maybe is interesting?

amixer sset Speaker unmute                                       ✔ 
amixer: Unable to find simple control 'Speaker',0

Here is all the info I can think of giving.

also outputs from these following commands:
speaker-test
aplay -L
lsmod | grep snd
and put them all into your first post

5

Ok, it was done. The test just kept on repeating. Should I let it keep going for longer?

6

no abort it… it looks like you have 2 audio devices which both use the same driver, thats probably whats causing the speaker problem… you could try this command, but im not sure if it will work:
echo "options snd-hda-intel index=1" > /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf
reboot

7

Ok, I tried it and still no audio. Should I post new outputs?

8

try recreating initframs:
sudo mkinitcpio -P
reboot

9

No luck there.

10

so lets try this, go to: /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf and add at the end there these lines:
defaults.pcm.!card 1
defaults.pcm.!device 0
reboot
if it doesnt work go again to /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf and add to the previous 2 lines this line:
defaults.ctl.card 1
reboot

11

12

Ok I did that and there is no change.

This is how it should be? Not inside any brackets?

13

yes thats how… so if it didnt work, just remove the entries from there and check this link:
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/698622/how-can-manage-output-device-with-amixer-command

14 
amixer -c 1 sset Master 80%                                      ✔

Something like this? Also didn’t help.

15

run alsamixer in terminal and press f6 and select your audio device and using your keyboard arrow-keys, scroll to the right until you find a setting called Auto-Mute If this is defaulted to enabled then it must be changed by using your up/down arrow keys to disabled, and then you can hit the escape key to exit.

16

Yes it is alredy disabled.

17

so try install following package: sof-firmware and also the latest kernel 5.17.1-3, reboot

18

ok so I changed to linux517.1-3 and sof-firmware was installed sense before. Still no sound.

19

it doesnt look good for you, theres a lot people with your speaker issue (realtek alc287+lenovo)… try these links:
https://forum.manjaro.org/t/headphones-work-but-laptop-speakers-do-not/93362
and also try this patch:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Lenovo_Yoga_7i#Speaker_audio
even when its written there that its included since the 5.14 kernel, youll have nothing to lose

20

are you using HDMI-Output for the speakers ?
