Apple Intelligence is now available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac!
No audio output. When going into audio settings, the internal speakers as well as the built in microphone do not show. The volume keys do not work. Connecting Bluetooth headphones works. It is not a hardware issue as I’ve run a hardware diagnostic.

Great news my friend! :)
It's not working in the new account as well.
Then WE either have a corrupted OS Install or a Hardware failure it would seem.
