I'd think that running Mint 20 the kernel should support a driver for your sound card.

Do you have PulseAudio in your sound settings?
IF so try controlling the sound through PulseAudio.

Under Volume Control> Configuration you may have to play with the settings in the drop down menu.
Also your Built In Audio is off try turning it on.

How old is your laptop and what make a model number is it?
 
IF you still don't have sound have a look in the BIOS under UEFI and see if the onboard sound is disabled like dos2unix suggested.
 
When members here help me I always come back and let them know how things go.
It's just the right thing to do in my book.
if there was a sticky on front page ; it would be something like:

Welcome to Linux.org
The site is mainly populated with friendly volunteers.
Helpers are dotted in different places around the world in different time zones
Please be patient ; when you post some helpers won't have seen it yet due to time zone
We will try to help you but you need to play your part with a question supported by if possible specs and error output.
If by being here your problem got solved or this site gave you a spark of idea and you solved it yourself either way , don't just leave a thread dangling say your problem is solved. Give credit to helpers or how you solved it yourself
 
@Jabirkt99 thanks for coming back


ok if your up for some some tests - we could explore it further. I noticed from one of your images that pavucontrol failed to install.

So first i would confirm mirror list is Ok:

output please either


Code:
cat   /etc/apt/sources.list.d

you can also try running

Code:
sudo apt edit-sources
@Alexzee - you know after running Slackware and now Arch i'm fuzzy on Debian derivative OS can you check that /etc/apt/sources.list.d is correct for where yo uedit for OS to get pkgs from repos please. Audio isn't one of my strong points
DO you have that Debian admin handbook , handy :^) ?
i'm not sure we got your actual OS so also you could output;

Code:
cat /etc/*-release

try re-installing ?
Code:
sudo apt remove --purge alsa-base pulseaudio
sudo apt install alsa-base pulseaudio
sudo alsa force-reload

reboot laptop


type at terminal :
alsamixer
hit return

Hit F6 to choose card -see what happens
