'pulseaudio' w/ 'alsa' does not output to speakers
Arch linux system up to date: Linux kernel 6.14.2-arch1-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC
I have run 'pulseaudio' for years now on this Dell XPS 15 9560 laptop without issues. 4 days ago I changed the internal keyboard on the laptop (that went smoothly). Then, 2 days ago, the laptop's main user noticed the laptop speakers did not put any sound out, whereas jack and BT headphones continue to work normally.

The default sink is the same for speakers and jack headphones. It changes to `bluez_sink.B8_7B_D4_19_3A_29.a2dp_sink` when BT headphones are connected.

So what comes to mind is hardware failure or a physical disconnect of some wiring when I changed the keyboard on that laptop ...
Any ideas or pointers for me to probe hardware from CLI, BEFORE I try to reopen the "patient" for corrective surgery ?

Re: 'pulseaudio' w/ 'alsa' does not output to speakers
Is wireplumber running and potentially leading to conflicts with pulseaudio?
sudo fuser -v /dev/snd/*more generally speaking check whether direct ALSA access works
amixer -c0
speaker-test -Dhw:0if the second command (that completely bypasses pulseaudio and is as direct access as the kernel is going to give you) gives you no noise and it's not muted in amixer then you either have a kernel issue or -- more likely -- your keyboard switch didn't go as smoothly.

Re: 'pulseaudio' w/ 'alsa' does not output to speakers
Good point, but, nope, `wireplumber` is nowhere to be found here. The install is just "pa" and ALSA. (I checked anyway.)

Re: 'pulseaudio' w/ 'alsa' does not output to speakers
Likely, though I wonder why this isn't reflected on pulse's side. or rather, that the speakers are muted while you are on the headphone profile is generally normal, but this should relevantly reverse itself when switching off of the headphones profile

Yes, that was the previous behavior.
From the gdm graphical interface, when the selected "Output Device" is Speakers - Built-in Audio and neither BT ear buds nor jack headphones are in use, the "Output Volume" slider is not at zero (it does not show as muted) but nothing out... and I can't seem to find a way to (try to) unmute them from CLI.

Simple mixer control 'Speaker',0
Capabilities: pvolume pswitch
Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right

Mono:
Front Left: Playback 102 [80%] [-12.50dB] [on]
Front Right: Playback 102 [80%] [-12.50dB] [on]but, again, no sound out (having made sure that some source is streaming sound, e.g. a youtube channel w/o BT or jack headphones...) the 'Speaker' channel.
