and when i'm testing sound,it's running but the microphone itself doesn't capture sound
pactl list sources short

you left also much important info out
Show the full command result
also do sudo apt install pavucontrol gnome-sound-recorder
can then do a test to see if it picks up internal monitor of audio. I'll show you that after you provide the inxi -Fxxxz and got the two apps above installed.
Ok, open Sound Recorder first.
once it's open, launch Pulse Audio Volume Control from the start menu, and position it beside it
stretch pavucontrol so you see all 5 of its tabs.
done
go to the Configuration tab. put all profiles to OFF except the AMD Family 17h/19h one
that one should be on Analog stereo Duplex
then go to the Recording tab.
click the dropdown, and choose "Monitor of built-in audio"
then play a song in another app, and press Record in Sound Recorder. see if it show waveform activity
stop it after a short while, and see if it produced an audible recording.
sorry, i meant the "Recording" tab, @acoustic salmon
gotta have the recorder open
then do all this stuf
yes. click the blue record button
then check record tab
it should show the option/dropdown i said
ok repeat the test. but in the recording tab, dont use monitor-of
just "built-in audio"
and speak clearly .
not working
but is it normall that sound now from laptop?
can you rephrase the question?
is sound should go from laptop, because all profiles are off except microphone
im talking about speakers
or it doesn't matter?
are you hearing the speakers play when testing with a song?
yes
then leave it
as long as its on duplex.
u get in and out
if you want to use sound over HDMI to a TV set with hdmi, or a hdmi soundbar, then you must turn on that profile.
