I recently installed Linux Mint and I'm facing issues with the audio not working. I have both wireplumber and pipewire installed, and I've even tried reinstalling the ISO and Linux Mint several times. I also uninstalled pipewire and tried reinstalling PulseAudio. The automatic driver updater only found proprietary drivers for my Nvidia graphics card, so I'm unsure if I'm missing any drivers. Currently, I have a fresh install of Linux Mint using a bootable USB created with RUFUS. My system specs include a 24-core Intel Core i9 processor, Intel and NVIDIA graphics, and I have listed audio devices like Intel High Definition Audio and NVIDIA audio drivers, but nothing is working. If anyone has suggestions or ideas on how to resolve this issue, I'd really appreciate it!

Have you tried using `pwvucontrol` or `pavucontrol`? These tools can provide more details and configuration options for your audio settings. Sometimes, audio devices share capabilities, so you might need to check that the correct device is selected.
Also, could you clarify what audio devices you’re using aside from your laptop speakers? Do you have any Bluetooth or USB audio devices connected? It could help troubleshoot the issue more effectively.
I did use pavucontrol as mentioned in my original post, and it shows that audio is playing, but my laptop speakers won't output any sound. I have managed to connect my AirPods Pro without issues but really want my built-in speakers to work too since they’re fine on Windows.
