Linux Mint 22 : HP Envy 13 aq1176ng - only sound on RDP, but no headphones or loudspeakers

First: virtual sound throuch RDP (**Remote Desktop Connection**) i.E. ***NoMachine*** works brilliantly, only the internal speakers and head phones don't give a sound. Sound drivers (**sound open firmware are installed by github source v2.2 (before most latter v2.12) **). **Sound card is intels *snd_hda_intel*.** I have followed the few links found on the net regarding Linux Mint or Ubuntu 22, which always are similar like: - install ALSA - Reinstalling sound system and restarting alsa - (re)install pipewire - install and configure hdajackretask (this is the least promising way IMHO) incl. restarting alsa,

So far no results. The only thing is working, is if you connect via NoMachine the sound is transferred to the remote computer. So I consider the sound is produced but somewhere between the layers of Abstraction of the OS down to the HW there is an issue. I beg you for your ideas, or solution (trees)!

[EDIT 3] Picture of Alsamixer. Is the device muted if its green around the number down in the column, or vice versa? Plus List of soundcards, which is actually default and sof-hda-default. But changing the volume or muting in alsamixer does not change the missing sound from the speakers and changes made don't survive a boot:
