I have a weird problem. Sound used to work until a couple of days ago, but now the builtin speakers in my ThinkPad W520 have stopped working. This happened after either:




  1. An update

  2. Using the headphone jack in my laptop dock (I had used the jack in the actual laptop before without issues)



As I was saying, the speakers do not work at all. Sometimes I get a clicking sound from the laptop, which I assume is the system beep. This does not happen consistently. If I plug headphones in the laptop, I do get sound in them.



I have tried playing with all the possible settings both in gnome and using alsamixer. Some screens:



Device is recognized



Output is recognized



alsamixer



What could I try next?

I ultimately found out it's a hardware issue.
