For the T570, I seem to have resolved the issue by installing the HDA DKMS driver from the ALSA Daily Build Snapshots here:

Since I'm on 18.04, I grabbed the latest "daily" DKMS snapshot, which as of this writing is from 2018-08-05.

You must use DKMS to install this driver. Instructions are here:

The article is a little outdated, but the instructions still work. After rebooting, I had good quality sound through my ThinkPad's main built-in speakers again. I hope this helps!
