Does anyone know how to get their Mac off of mute other than taking it to apple? I cant uncheck the box in settings or change the volume at all. MacBook Air (13-inch, 2017) or is apple just trying to force me to spend money I don't have on a new computer?

Restart holding Shift to enter Safe Mode (it's a longer boot) and check if sound works there.
Restart normally and check if it got any better.
Also try a clean install of macOS to see if it helps.
If none of those work, you'll have to take it to an Apple Store or authorized for a proper diagnostic.
