HP 250 G8 laptop no sound on speakers

Hail!
This is a long term problem, and I hope this isn't a hardware failure. When I Installed Arch more than a month ago, the sound was good. Then once, I don't know, when, the sound on the speakers is gone, just some quit ticking can be heard. On headphones all is ready (and on HDMI too, I hope). This ticking is starts when I turn on the machine, and every times there must be any noise. Now in the weekend I tested with the 12.01 install media, and from that remains this ticking.. The audio hardware:

$ aplay -L
null
    Discard all samples (playback) or generate zero samples (capture)
pipewire
    PipeWire Sound Server

    Default ALSA Output (currently PipeWire Media Server)

    5.0 Surround output to Front, Center and Rear speakers
surround51:CARD=PCH,DEV=0
    HDA Intel PCH, ALC236 Analog
    5.1 Surround output to Front, Center, Rear and Subwoofer speakers
surround71:CARD=PCH,DEV=0
    HDA Intel PCH, ALC236 Analog
    7.1 Surround output to Front, Center, Side, Rear and Woofer speakers
hdmi:CARD=PCH,DEV=0
    HDA Intel PCH, HDMI 0
    HDMI Audio Output
hdmi:CARD=PCH,DEV=1
    HDA Intel PCH, HDMI 1
    HDMI Audio Output
hdmi:CARD=PCH,DEV=2
    HDA Intel PCH, HDMI 2
    HDMI Audio Output

I have pipewire installed as audio server. Found no errors on any output, so I can't attach any.

Re: HP 250 G8 laptop no sound on speakers

 speaker-test -Dhw:0 -c2

if that has the issue you have either a kernel or a HW issue, test the LTS kernel as well.

I can test with LTS kernel afternoon.

Re: HP 250 G8 laptop no sound on speakers

I thought something: I used KDE and Gnome on Wayland, but XFCE on Xorg. When I changed, maybe something got broken. Could it be a source?

Highly unlikely, also make sure things aren't muted. Post
