Tech Support I got a sound problem,

So I run an MSI thin gf63, currently my speakers don't work, but I should have the drivers for it as my headphones jack works, I don't dual boot, so I only have Linux.

The thing happened when I had to force shutdown bc my pc froze and now my speakers have no output, and I'm forced to use external accessories to hear.

I have tried installing drivers in VM, didn't work (IDK, I just hoped). McontrolCentre has no settings related to this issue. I have KDE plasma and Hyprland environments. I haven't updated my bios sense I got the laptop (2023) bc I'm too scared to do so bc I never did it and scared to do it. Ask if you need any other information,

Does anybody have an idea how to fox it or investigate a solution pls. Thank you everybody that helps.

As fas as i can read on the internet this might be the solution.

you can also try:
sudo pacman -S sof-firmware (and reboot)
