Hi Len and David,

David, yes, that script will create a pulse sink/source (this used to happen automagically when I started jack from Qjackctl, but does not now).

Even with it started, no sound comes out the speakers.
(Interestingly, I have an hdmi output on this laptop and if I select that as the playback device in Volume Control, it plays through the speakers on that monitor.)

Len, I checked alsamixer and all seems ok.

It appears I've got the setup of the onboard audio totally messed up...and I have no idea what is missing. :(

It's like built in audio is turned off.

I want to do some work without the X32, so I said, self, just fire up Qjackctl

going to the local hardware.

Except, the default config has been lost. After some messing around, I get the
pulse source/sink, but audio is not routed to the local speakers (this is a
laptop).

Patchage shows the pulse sink connected to system/playback and if I play audio
from an app (for example clementine) configured to the pulse sink, it shows
signal in the Output Devices tab in volume control on the pulse sink.

 Probably a look at alsamixer to make sure the level is turned up and not muted will help. Internal audio on most computers is quite confusing sometimes. When pulse is controlling the device it hides all the stuff it is doing. Jack on the other hand just feeds audio to the device. There will be (at least) three level controls you wish to look at:
 - Master
 - headphones
 - speakers

The last one may be labeled Front instead as mine is. I alsa control each stereo pair has a mix strip. The colour strip shows level, the box at the bottom will have "MM" if Muted or "00" otherwise. use your arrow keys to move the red highlite to the channel you wish to adjust. Up and down arrows will change level, M will mute/unmute.

Alsamixer is a terminal application by the way. QASMixer will work if you wish a GUI version, but really, alsamixer is a part of alsa and so should just be installed if alsa is there. Also with QASmixer, make sure it is pointing at the audio device and not Pulse (where it defaults to). Alsamixer never points at pulse :)
