Speakers not working, Headphones work Linux Mint 20

[GermanDog]

Hello

I am having an issues with a new install of Linux Mint 20. My hardware

Thinkpad T530 i7 16gb Ram

Headphones work fine but no output from speakers. When I set it up, speakers worked for a while then quit. I checked speaker connector into main board and reseated it. One thing I noticed. I do not have a "sound menu" in settings. It was there when I first setup the system, now it is gone. I have made sure speakers are unmuted and checked output to stereo.

I have done all the updates to the system.

Any ideas or direction will be appreciated. Thanks in advance for the help.

Somebody will say so, so it might as well be me: if you click the "how to get help" link at the top of the page under "Forum rules", you will see you are asked to give details of your system by posting the output from inxi -Fxxxrz.

I did not want to overload my post.

From the information I directed you to:

[5] Details! Details! Details!

• ...
• Generally it suffices to type the following in terminal and include the output in your post -> inxi -Fxxxrz
• ...
• When posting output of commands use the "Code" tags if it is more than 2 or 3 lines long - this makes it more readable. The button that inserts these tags is marked </>

Doing that avoids "overloading" your post.
