DASK

I had the same problem with my Laptop. I found it would work fine with headphones plugged in but not via the internal speaker.

Play about with alsamixer from command line and raise the levels as sometimes they are muted. Problem is then getting Solus to remember these settings as using alsactl store. I don't have the same problem on an Arch based distro.

DASK I would say what DASK said with a couple more. Your sound likely works, I've had this before where something reverted. Look in control center, see where the ALSA master control is, and more importantly, when you are playing music, streaming, etc, see where you are at in Raven, if you are in Budige, that volume control supersedes the sound widget and is easily overlooked.

DASK Thank you sir , i need the internal speaker beacause there others listening too with me
so i can not use headphones .the output is (speakers-built in audio ,it is raised to maximum without the over-amplification,sound system is also raised to maximum,no input device listed ,i tried many distros arch,debian ,opensuse ..nothing helped but i found souls is most fast and stable ,i made every updates to this moment

It might be better to list what Lenovo thinkcenter model that is, I have a Dell latitude, but it's more informative to have the model for tech support, mine is a latitude "e6420", with your graphics card and processor also listed.
Have you done the basics like looking up hardware support on the help center(you'll need the specific model laptop to check that) https://getsol.us/articles/hardware/
Have you updated through the software center, have you updated your drivers through doflicky, if not, that's what you should do right after installing Solus.

bleh it is Lenovo ThinkCentre M58,i tried there support but there was no linux drivers
what is doflicky ?how i can update through this ?i am updated to this moment ,thank you sir for your time

that is perplexing. a slider volume in the control center. but when media is playing there are no slider controls in Budgie? Solus was born for a thinkcentre M58, trust me. And an M72....the volume widget in task bar is maxed out too?
...I can see why you believe you need a driver, but you shouldn't.
Either broken package? Or send pics of this weirdness.

brent There is a slider control in the raven but it is silent no vibes when a video is working but in control center there is vibes moving ..the taskbar ,is the same no moving vibes

brent

at work now. my only guesses are
1) sudo eopkg check to see if a broken package
2) a systemctl service may have been inadvertently disabled as happens from time to time but I don't have all the commands to check that right now

hope you get more opinions

brent Thank you sir for your time and help
