Turning on Audio , sound

[PapaParrot]

This is a HP pavillion laptop :
Dmesg-output
For complete dmesg ^^===
Ok , this is the part that I think is relevant:

azalia0 at pci0 dev 27 function 0 "Intel 82801I HD Audio" rev 0x03: msi
azalia0: codecs: IDT 92HD75B1/2, Intel/0x2802, using IDT 92HD75B1/2
audio0 at azalia0

There is some little lights, that show the sound is muted, but I can not find any button or switch that unmutes the sound/audio, so the first place I checked was at the HP website, and saddly all I found was instructions showing how to turn it on using some software that is for ms windows, but nothing showing a switch or key to use,...
And I did look at some manuals/ tutorial I found doing a search, but am having a hard time following what I read, is there a way to un mute the audio via the cli ?
If any other details are needed, I will post them,..
Thanks
P.S. Normally sound is a non issue for me, I can't hardly hear anything any way, buy I want to give the laptop to my granddaughter, and she will want to play some music, and watch videos. VLC is working fine for the videos, but no sound available. Maybe there is a package I need, that I am not aware of ? I don't know, thanks

On my desktop PC, audio just worked, and I did not have to do anything special, but the laptop is different,apparently.

outputs.master=126,126

You can likely double the master output volume.

mixerctl outputs.master=200,200

Your max values will likely be around 254.

mixerctl(1).

To make the change permanent make an /etc/mixerctl.conf entry per the man page.

Thanks, I will give that a try

Yes, it worked good, I still can not hear it, but my granddaughter says thanks, and she can hear it now.

outputs.spkr_source=dac-2:3
inputs.dac-0:1_mute=off
inputs.dac-0:1=126,126
inputs.dac-2:3_mute=off
inputs.dac-2:3=126,126

The speaker output is feed by dac-2.3. You can likely boost the dac-2.3 values. I would do this incrementally as laptop speakers are not very robust and can be over-driven and damaged.

Ok, thanks again, I kind of figured it was something I could change using 'mixerctl' but wanted to make sure, before I started changing anything, I don't know why the LED light on the laptop shows "muted", guess that does not matter though , now, it is not muted and increasing the output
as you showed did the trick:

mixerctl outputs.master=200,200
