Here to also report that this issue persists on a newer Samsung laptop. The model in question is the Notebook 7 Force NP760XBE(Style S51 Pro on some countries) running 19.10. In my case, the speakers work fine, though. The problem only manifests itself through headphones: very faint and distorted sound.
