I used to have sound, now I don't. Currently using Ventura 13.4.1 c. Now I have no sound. Looked at Sound>output> had roku streaming stick only.
Disabled Airplay. Maybe the correct way, maybe not.
No internal speakers listed. No auditory output found.
How do I get them back?
iMac (2017 – 2020)
Hmm… interesting call… I’d go with what Servant of Cats posted, also if you hold down the “option” key on your keyboard while clicking on your speaker
icon at the top of your screen, it’ll show you all
available audio/sound inputs and outputs… otherwise run Audio Midi Setup ( should be in utilities folder) and set default audio/sound ( with the Mac smiley face) to be built in speakers… system prefs>>audio/sound>> effects/alerts>> line out>> play sound through…,

If you have something plugged into the iMac's headphone jack, you'll see "Headphones" (rather than the internal speakers) in the Sound { Preferences / Settings } panel.
If you see neither internal speakers nor headphones, that sounds like a bug. You may want to report it to Apple.
Off of another thread, it had the identical answer as yours. I clicked because it said Apple Support contact. And ended up here. Seems that Apple Support really doesn’t want to be contacted. And how I fixed it I turned it off and turned it back on.
How do I find the internal speakers for my imac
