artix runit There is no /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf or basically, most alsa and pulseaudio config files are missing? When I connect headphones it works fine.
/proc/asound/devices returns: 33: : timer
and that’s it. The only place I found anything related to the card is if I do sudo lspci -vv | grep -i audio which returns
00:1f.3 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation Cannon Point-LP High Definition Audio Controller (rev 11) Kernel driver in use: sof-audio-pci-intel-cnl
cat /proc/asound/cards — no soundcards —
cat /proc/asound/modules doesn’t even give me output.
arecord -l / arecord: device_list:279: no sopacmd list-sourcesundcards found…
and that kind of stuff
pacmd list-sources

and no other pacmd that i found related gives me anything

Thanks to anyone that’s able to help.
Try blacklisting
sof-audio-pci-intel-cnland see if you can getsnd_hda_intelto load instead. The one time I tried the sof- driver, I couldn’t get it to work.Are the headphones usb-c? Because those cheat and are actually a whole sound card in a chip
Well indeed.
I’ve had this happen when plugging the laptop into HDMI and not switching back to speakers before unplugging. Plugging back in the HDMI and switching to speakers has fixed it for me in the past. I’ve also had a cold boot fix my audio in the past.
Can you name the exact model? It may be necessary to set the vendor specific HDA verbs for the model’s audio controller’s firmware at the boot process to get the speakers to do anything… There are many other possible reasons it does not work…
ye sorry
the info tab says:

Can u open pavucontrol utility and show tab “Configuration”? Also do u have package sof-firmware installed?
Throwing this out there. Could your plug-detection feature of the physical headphone jack be busted?
Are you running pipewire?
Speaker might be disabled in the BIOS settings. Worth a quick check next time you reboot.
it worked on wintoes
What laptop model is it?
Can you check if the hardware or specific audio device it uses is supported on https://linux-hardware.org/ ?
I used to have a laptop that had lacked support for it’s builtin speakers on Linux, but bluetooth would work fine.
