I second this suggestion. It is not unusual that after an update - sound gets muted.

I saw zorin got an update 2 days ago
No I didn't mute it sounds alerts still work
I don't know alsamixer but I can check

What do you mean by gets muted ?
By me ?

It's muted ^

No, the installation of updated packages somehow causes it to get muted by the system.

Do you use dual boot ? windows and zorin ?

If yes -> pulseaudio - No sound from line-out in Ubuntu 19.10 on ALC1220 - Ask Ubuntu

Some users says downgrading kernel might work too -> Live Boot Realtek ALC1220 not detected - Linux Mint Forums

yes I do

Headset is showing [MM] i.e. muted in your alsamixer screenshot. Unmute that channel by selecting it and typng "M".

If you think sound has been turned off since kernel update, have you tried selecting the previous kernel at at boot?
