No speech and Sound Except with Bluetooth on Mac

I am confused what to do other than resetting the whole thing.
I am not getting speech and sound on my MacBook Air. Only when I use bluetooth I can get speech and sound. Even the startup chime of the Mac does not play when I start my Mac.
I checked online and it seems those M Macs CMS and NVRAM and PRAM can not be reset. Any idea what could be done?

The only why this comes to mind, did you go to system settings and changed your output to something else other than the mac's speakers, i.e, bluetooth device? That might be what's causing this. Do you have a braille display you can connect to try to revert the output back to macbook speakers? That's the only thing I can think of to cause this I can think of.
