Audio device: Intel Corporation Raptor Lake High Def

It turns out that speaker output will not work if the HEADPHONES in alsamixer is muted (srsly? whiskey tango??) and this is muted on every boot.

this forum ... https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?p=1791086#p1791086
says to edit /usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/paths/analog-output-speaker.conf but that file does not exist because I am not using pulseaudio I am using pipewire. however, /usr/share/alsa-card-profile/mixer/paths/analog-output-speaker.conf does exist and is of the same name but editing that file in the way suggested by the above linked forum accomplishes exactly nothing. My headphones are still muted on reboot.

How do i get my headphones that are not plugged in to not be muted every time I reboot so that the built in speakers that are plugged in wont be muted every reboot and who the bejesus thinks headphones being muted should just outright kill all built in audio lol ($^&$)$&&! (censored } : )

Can not get audio to work at all on my laptops speakers, i was previously able to get audio if i just ran alsactl init on every boot but now even that does nothing.

suspended?

I don't use pulseaudio, so I know almost nothing about it. But first you should stop pulseaudio and see if that issue is here with alsa. If yes, it should first be fixed with alsa (I think kernel driver or driver parameter), if no it is an issue with pulseaudio.
