Gday
Does the OS pickup the audio chipset for the laptop ?
Check using hardware info or lspci command
HP EliteBook 840 G3 audio is using - Conexant ISST HD Audio Driver 2015
ref - https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-elitebook-840-g3-notebook-pc/7815294
I am using Artix with Presonus Audiobox USB (recording interface)
Mine doesnt work with ALSA sound volume/mixer either
I recommend using
* LibreWolf for Browser Sound (works with ALSA) -
https://librewolf-community.gitlab.io/
* SMplayer for movies/media
* Strawberry for podcasts - https://www.strawberrymusicplayer.org/
Also try to get people to migrate from Skype+Zoom
over to Jitsi meet - No program needed, its all via free https server
