No sound through internal speakers

Hi,

The other day I had sound through my speakers and lately I haven't really been getting it, but the beeps still work. Oddly enough, I can get sound through my headphones. Here is a list of installed packages:

I checked the sound through Pulseaudio and ALSA Mixer but I don't see anything muted. Maybe I missed something but I also have Devuan installed and there was a similar issue with that as well. I first noticed it when I was using Zoom a few days ago and now I can't get sound through my internal speakers. Could it be a hardware problem?

Can you try you speakers in another device?

before years ago i has same problem, in one moment i has sound from  headphones no more....was a SW problem.
you can check it in pulseaudio mixer, some is probably wrong set. Try install pavucontrol-qt  or pamixer and check it again. Try create new user and log in with new user. You can check config files.. Unfornutately is a lot options, where can be problem. :-(

It definitely works when I use peripheral speakers or headphones when plugged into the headphone jack. I'm not sure how else to check using other devices.

In ~/.config/pavucontrol.ini:
[window]
width=500
height=400
sinkInputType=1
sourceOutputType=1
sinkType=0
sourceType=1
showVolumeMeters=1

and I've installed pamixer and pavucontrol-qt. In ~/.config/pavucontrol-qt/pavucontrol-qt.conf
[window]
showVolumeMeters=true
sinkInputType=0
sinkType=0
size=@Size(766 548)
sourceOutputType=1
sourceType=1

I'm not sure where else I would look for configuration.

Audio devices:
Code: [Select]
$ aplay -l

**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: MID [HDA Intel MID], device 0: CX20585 Analog [CX20585 Analog]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

My alsamixer on HDA Intel MID, card 0 is shown in "alasamixer_profile.txt" and my pulseaudio settings are in the "pulseaudio.jpg" (sorry for the image quality but I hope it's OK).

If you need any other info that may be helpful here, let me know.
