HP Pavilion Laptop 14-ce1xxx - No sound from speakers

[jacob-heringman]

Hello all, I hope I’m in the right place. I’m using the “support template” below to describe my problem.

Ubuntu Version:
Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS

Desktop Environment (if applicable):
GNOME

Problem Description:
No sound from the built-in computer speakers. Only works when I plug external speakers into the headphone jack. Also works when I plug external speakers or earbuds into the USBC port. I have been careful to select the right output device (speakers - built-in audio).

Relevant System Information:
I’m not sure what is relevant here.

Hardware model: HP HP Pavilion Laptop 14-ce1xxx

Audio device: Intel Corporation Cannon Point-LP High Definition Audio Controller (rev 30)

What I’ve Tried:

Pretty much everything listed in the help system under “Sound Problems: I cannot hear any sound on the computer”

I apologise if this has been covered somewhere in the forum; I’ve not found it, and I am finding the forum a little bit confusing to navigate.

I would be grateful to be pointed in the right direction. Thank you!

Welcome to Ubuntu Discourse

First, thank you for using the support template, we appreciate it as it helps us narrow in on the issues.

Second, when you say you used the help system, do you mean the troubleshooting steps outlined here?

Debugging Audio Issues

Debugging Audio Issues A set of steps that users can run to gather technical details which may make it easier and faster for volunteers to debug their issues. Target issues Audio not working at all Previously audio used to work but no longer does Quality of audio playback is poor Guidelines This is a troubleshooting plan to gather relevant diagnostic information about your audio issues. The steps go from basic to more detailed information gathering. Search for existing threads in the suppor…

Third, and completely off-topic, where in North Yorkshire are you from (no obligation to answer of course).

Bear in mind it is the weekend so responses may be slower than usual.

Hi @rubi1200 ! Thanks for replying so quickly.

Firstly, glad I did the right thing.

Secondly, no: by using the help system, I meant the question mark icon in my Ubuntu installation, which provides some basic things to try: make sure sound is not muted, check correct sound device is selected, check that the sound card was detected properly. That’s about it. I will look into the Debugging Audio Issues that you linked to above, if I can understand them well enough to implement them.

Thirdly, Richmond!

Thanks!

Hello all, I hope I’m in the right place.

Welcome to discourse.

Where you are using Gnome environment, I use the Qt environment (Lubuntu)

However, I believe I may have the same problem.

To the more experienced…

Is this fitting of “All variants” as in the old UbuntuForums more than specific to gnome?

(Reason for edit: Changed to not reflect the link to the old forums as the link currently redirects back to discourse. Thank you @Wild_Man )

[Wild_Man]

That link redirected back to Ubuntu Discourse.

At this time the Ubuntu Forums is not accessible but the issue is still being worked on.

[jacob-heringman]

I’ve now run the debugging as suggested by @rubi1200

The output is below. Wow! It’s a lot of text. I hope it is helpful in solving this problem. Thank you again for the help.

[jacob-heringman]

PS I’m sorry! I thought I formatted it as instructed in the thread, but it looks a mess.

[WyattWhiteEagle]

Uncertain if this is actually what you’re needing but here’s this…

(Note: Make certain you have headphone’s plugged in or this won’t work.)

@WyattWhiteEagle

Lubuntu 24.04.3 LTS
@moderators I may need Alsa solution. This PulseAudio solution may not be the solution I seek.

@ian-weisser Thank you for that very helpful post.

In PulseAudio Volume Control

• Under “Output Devices”
• Locate “???-???-??? Speaker + Headphones”
• Make certain that next to “Port:” it says “Headphones (plugged in)”
• On the blue line where it says “40%” at the far-right end, Increase that to a comfortable volume you can be “happy” with.

[jacob-heringman]

Thank you, @WyattWhiteEagle ! No, this is unfortunately not helping. I’m still without sound from the built in computer speakers, though earbuds (USBC) and headphones (headphone jack) are fine. I’d just like to get the built in speakers working, so I don’t have to use external speakers or headphones everytime I’m logged into Ubuntu.

[jacob-heringman]

Can anyone help me find what I need to do next? I would love to get this installation working properly. Can’t do much if I don’t have sound. Any tips on what all the information (above) means, or what to try next? Thank you

[Actionparsnip]

If you install and use pavucontrol does it help?

[jacob-heringman]

Thank you @Actionparsnip – I’ll give it a try and report back.

[jacob-heringman]

@Actionparsnip The answer is no unfortunately. No change. No sound from the built-in speakers.

[jacob-heringman]

Further update: I suddenly have sound in my speakers. I’m not aware of having done anything new or different. But it’s suddenly working! This is entirely mysterious to me. I will report back if it spontaneously stops working again. Meanwhile, many thanks to those who have offered help.

[jacob-heringman]

I’m back. The saga continues. The speakers are working only intermittently. Yesterday I spontaneously had sound, and was even able to conduct a Zoom meeting (though I’m told that the built-in microphone is making weird electronic noises on the other end, so I’ve been using my USB external mic instead). The sound coming at me was a little bit quiet, even though it was turned up to max, but it was there at least. Today, without having made any changes since yesterday, I’m without sound again. In a Zoom meeting, I can be heard but I hear nothing without headphones. I can’t play music or any other sounds through the built-in speakers on this machine. So back to square one. I have been very careful to check both the audio settings and the pulse audio settings to make sure that nothing is muted or turned down, and that the correct output is selected. So again I’m stuck. I wish I knew whether other HP Pavilion series laptop users have had the same problem. It must be fixable! I’m sorry to be ignorant about how to tackle this…. Thanks for any help. PS I still have Windows 11 (dual boot), so today’s Zoom meetings will have to take place in Windows, until I can get this fixed, which I hope will succeed. PPS might I have better luck with a different Linux distro, or will the problem happen with them all?

[jacob-heringman]

Update: I have now ditched Windows altogether , and installed Ubuntu 25.10. The problem turned out to be related to the dual boot situation I was in, and seems to have gone away now. Thanks again to all who offered help. I guess this can be marked as solved.

[Further detail, for anyone interested: a kind person in a chat group suggested I should double check whether I’d really turned of fast boot in Windows, and it turned out I hadn’t, though I thought I had. This didn’t immediately fix the problem, but I did find that if I suspended my Ubuntu session by closing the lid of my laptop, and then reopened it, sound would suddenly start working. Another complicating factor (just in case this helps anyone): after installing Ubuntu alongside Windows in dual boot, I tested various other distros with a live stick, and that seemed to mess up the dual boot arrangement, which meant that turning off or restarting the machine resulted in the machine going straight into Windows, where I had to do a recovery mode restart in order to boot into Ubuntu. This is when I gave up and simply ditched Windows altogether. I’m pleased to say that I’m making progress (with help) in getting the one Windows program that I rely on to work in Wine (Bottles).]
