I'm running Ubuntu 22.10 on an HP Zbook Fury 16 G9. I can't get sound on the laptop speakers. The headphones work fine. This was working yesterday after removing pulse audio package. It was added as a dependency of another packages.
Today it stopped working again. Headphones are fine, but speakers don't work. Rebooting does not help. Restarting pipewire, pipewire-pulse and wireplumber doesn't help.
In the settings for Sound, the speaker test does not work. But I can see movement in the sound level bar. I also see that when I play sound in a video etc.
Any idea what I can do to troubleshoot why the speakers randomly work?
Thanks,
Andy
