The sound only does not work from the laptop speakers; wired headphones work perfectly. Sometimes you want your laptop speakers to produce sound. So an external sound card does not solve the problem.

It's funny, but for as long as I can remember Linux (20+ years), there have always been some problems with sound.





You can buy usb speakers too. Or 3.5mm speakers since the headphone jack works. Either way, way less than $100 (especially for laptop quality).

On the plus side, if the built in speakers never work, the computer won't make noise unless you've plugged in something which is a nice feature.
