I'm so confused with this random audio issue

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Hmmm. Random guess: does your machine have another audio output, possibly via HDMI, that you're not using? This could be ALSA selecting the wrong device as a default, which would then propagate up through the stack.
I do via USB. I tend to switch between speakers and headphones. But other audio outputs work via the audio settings when I select them
