in this age, believe or not, I’m still using x201 thinkpad laptop, but I modified for little things, I expanded the RAM until 6GB, I change the drive from 250GB RPM to SSD 120GB and I remove windows operating system and change it to LXLE Linux

suddenly this evening the speaker muted! I tried to restart the laptop but not successed to turn the speaker on
how to fixed it?
I believe this is not caused by hardware failure, so I tried to tuning the linux
this is how:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall alsa-base pulseaudio sudo alsa force-reload cd .config mv pulse/ pulse.old/ shutdown -r now
and it works
