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
    Default ALSA Output (currently PipeWire Media Server)
sysdefault:CARD=PCH
    HDA Intel PCH, ALC236 Analog
    Default Audio Device
front:CARD=PCH,DEV=0
    HDA Intel PCH, ALC236 Analog
    Front output / input

    HDA Intel PCH, ALC236 Analog
    2.1 Surround output to Front and Subwoofer speakers
surround40:CARD=PCH,DEV=0
    HDA Intel PCH, ALC236 Analog
    4.0 Surround output to Front and Rear speakers
surround41:CARD=PCH,DEV=0
    HDA Intel PCH, ALC236 Analog
    4.1 Surround output to Front, Rear and Subwoofer speakers
surround50:CARD=PCH,DEV=0
    HDA Intel PCH, ALC236 Analog
    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.
