Thank you so much for all the directions Stefan! I checked pulseaudio and alsamixer: I followed religiously the instructions in blog.bullspit.co.uk/linux/manjaro-audio-edgar/, to no avail . But this is insightful: "Sidenote: This Intel chtrt5650 is the most irritating Audio hardware I’ve ever come across." Haha maybe that's the problem. I did try another distro before Bodhi, and there was sound but the computer would freeze with a buzzing noise after a few minutes of video. I figured that distro was too heavy on this system. Maybe it's just not going to work one way or another? What do you think?

I can't seem to get to it to look like in your screenshots. Am I missing something? It's saying this is unmuted: and this is muted:

I can't seem to get to it to look like in your screenshots. Am I missing something? It's saying this is unmuted: <button disabled="" class="c-attachment-insert--linked o-btn--sm">Attachment</button> and this is muted: <button disabled="" class="c-attachment-insert--linked o-btn--sm">Attachment</button> They are all on mute.
My settings will be different, using different hardware.
What I was trying to point out was the little sound icon left of the lock icon. Yours all have lines through them, mine do not.

Got you. Still not working... Maybe something wrong with the hardware. I'll just use this computer for non audio stuff then. Thank you so much for your extensive research and all the help!

It is OK ruiya. I am happy for helping you. It is annoying to have laptop without sound. Anyway the solution was pretty complicated. We used almost all methods from this thread. I turned on all card switches on alsamixer. There was almost infinity list of them. After PC restart dummy output was gone and the proper card started to work. Sort of category "the mysterious" but we finally solved it. Yep, enjoy the community ruiya Stefan

OK, I should update this thread. Ruiya asked me again that day with some other laptop troubles. It ended with reinstalling PC and having the no sound issue again. Here is the real and working solution for Acer Chromebook speakers issue: sudo apt update && sudo apt install alsa-base mkdir acer cd acer wget raw.githubusercontent.com/rgvxsthi/Braswell-EDGAR-Linux-Fixes/master/asound.statepgrep alsa sudo cp asound.state /var/lib/alsa/asound.state sudo alsa force-reload Stefan

I thought the Chromebook was going to the dumpster until thewaiter Stefan came to the rescue. Again. It was like magic. Thank you thank you!

Greetings my friends! I have studied the above answers but I don't understand may it is because my problem has to do with the inbuilt mic. I know I have done videos on my chromebook acer c720 model including zoom videos. However, yesterday for the first time since I installed linux on this laptop, I made a google meet call but I could hear the others in the other end but they can not hear me. I don't know what to do solve this problem.

Check the mic in alsamixer in terminology first. Maybe it is muted...
