The pcm1 above shows my speaker, it's on pbk playback mode.

But yours is on rec mode, don't know how to change to pbk mode. I tried on my laptop change to rec:

# mixer speaker.recsrc=add
mixer: speaker.recsrc=add: Operation not supported by device
pcm1:mixer: <Conexant CX20751/2 (Analog)> on hdaa1 (play/rec) (default)
    vol       = 1.00:1.00     pbk
    pcm       = 1.00:1.00     pbk
    speaker   = 1.00:1.00     pbk
    rec       = 0.01:0.01     pbk
    monitor   = 0.56:0.56     rec src

But I can't do that. Perhaps you can:

# mixer speaker.recsrc=remove

Maybe other colisters can help you
