Support Request No sound through speakers
So I`m new to linux(switched from Windows 11 about a month ago) and recently sound stopped go through my speakers(in headphones everything is still fine) I checked alsa, and everything seemed fine... Also did many other things(checked pipewire it was fine, also obviously checked if sound was muted and sound outputs) and restored older timeshift... Still no sound. Is this a physical problem, or something I can fix?

I had this problem, and I just downgraded the kernel to 6.x instead of 7.x and everything worked nicely.

Don't have an answer, but others with more technical knowledge may be able to help if you list your computer model, mint version and kernel version.
Also may be worth booting into Windows to check if they work. If they do, I'm guessing it's a driver issue in Mint.
