Device output options missing after recent OS catalina 10.15.7 update

The Internal /build in speakers option for device output for my Macbook pro is missing after recent OS Catalina 10.15.7 update. Is there any driver to upload? I can't get sound output unless using earphones or bluetooth. However, I can confirm it's a software or firmware issue as sound came back awhile when I removed the earphone jack just now. But as soon as I checked the System Preference > Sound option, it disappeared again. How to get it back?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15

Try resetting NVRAM and SMC.

Restart in Safe Mode and see if the internal speakers appear.

If the issue persists: Please run Etrecheck and post its full report here.

Use the “additional text” button and paste the report into the text box.
