No audio from builtin speakers

After switching to Linux from MacOS (iMac 2017), my builtin audio has not worked. After searching the internet, it seems that it has something to do with snd_hda_intel. Not sure what to do with that though. However, audio does come out of my headphones, which are connected via bluetooth.
Relevant installed packages:

pulseaudio
pulseaudio-alsa
pulseaudio-bluetooth
pulseaudio-control
pulseaudio-equalizer
pulseaudio-jack
pulseaudio-qt
pulseaudio-zeroconf
alsa-firmware
alsa-lib
alsa-plugins
alsa-topology-conf
alsa-ucm-conf
alsa-utils
jack2
pipewire

Re: No audio from builtin speakers

Forgot to mention that sof-firmware is also installed.
