Did you already check the general troubleshooting mentioned in the related article from above?

Check your sound settings

First, disconnect any cables from the USB, Thunderbolt, or 3.5mm audio ports on your Mac.

  1. From the Apple menu , choose System Preferences.
  2. Click Sound.
  3. Click the Output tab, then select the built-in speakers. If you don’t see built-in speakers as an option in the Output window, contact Apple Support.
  4. If the Output volume slider is set low, move the slider to the right and test again.
  5. If the Mute checkbox is selected, deselect it and test again.
  6. If you still don’t hear any sound, contact Apple Support.

Ingo, yes tried all of them but what was happening is the whole info on preference screen was greyed out and could not open any of the items. Anyway did the hold D down thing and tried to do a diagnostic check but decided to just restart and the darn thing volume came on just like that. Thank for you help and advice, be safe
