You have been subscribed to a public bug: I am using Ubuntu Focal in HP Pavilion g4, the internal speaker not working, no sound at all. However it works if I run alsamixer and unmute the headphone. It's strange that the internal speaker is assumed as headphone.
For your information, it happens after upgrading to Focal, it was good in the previous LTS version. For additional information, I upgraded to Focal while using external monitor that has speaker by using HDMI cable. The HDMI was connected before and after upgrade process. I don't know if this is related.
