Hi Chris and thanks for the help. When I do a sound test, nothing happens. I am way beyond that. Headphones work. Mic works. If I plug into HDMI, that sound works. I tried going into Dell Bios, but the choices you presented were not available. This is the closest I could find.

It was a laptop my work provided that I never used and they never asked for, so I really can’t even attest to whether it had sound when windows was on it. I assume it did as it has a camera and mic. This weekend I might try the long process of putting windows back on it just to see.

yeah under configuration it real only had stereo vs duplex and then then 20+ outputs for HDMI, which works. Headphones work. Mic works. Tried switching OS to Zorin and run the same protocols, but nothing changes. I guess I'm going to just change paths and focus on getting my airpod pros to...

No. Just Linux. It seems like I’ve tried everything. I almost want to figure out how to reinstall windows just to see if the sound works with that lol

now the SOF says this:

Another forum recommended this, but it can't seem to find it.

I have look up and remember how to install packages and then reboot.

Also, I am just trying to troubleshoot everything and plugged my laptop to my TV and am able to get sound and video. Not sure if this helps with any diagnostics, just letting everyone know.

Hi Osprey (and everyone else), Thanks for the help. I ran all five things you asked and they are below. The last quote got out of order. It should be the second thing that you asked for. I ran alsamixer again and so my headphone jack works and it also tested my mic and I could see that the...

nothing special. Even the sound test through GUI does not work. Nothing through the terminal test either. YouTube sound does not work. I can only get sound if I use plug-in headphones.

Sorry. I had a long week and am just getting to this. I found the "MM" and hit "m" and it changed to s/pdif. I ran the speaker test which I am attaching. I restarted the computer. Still no sound. Should I change distros and try something other than Ubuntu? I am at a loss. I thank you for...
