    Hello, and thanks for reaching out! I'm Nals, and I'll be happy to assist you today. My response times may vary, but I generally reply between 10:00 AM and 8:00 PM IST (UTC +5:30) every day of the week.

    1. When did this issue start? Have you recently made any changes to your system, such as updates or new software installations?
    2. Is your speaker currently set as the output device?

    To check, right-click the sound icon in the taskbar and select Sound settings. Under Choose your output device, make sure Realtek(R) Audio(Speaker) is selected. If it’s not, select it from the drop-down menu.


    Meanwhile, please try the following steps and see if that helps

    1. Run the Audio Troubleshooter

    Select Start > Settings > System > Sound > Troubleshoot common sound problems and select Output devices.

    Follow the on-screen instructions to see if Windows can detect and fix the problem.

    1. Update Audio Drivers

    Open Device Manager by pressing Windows + X and selecting it from the menu.

    Expand the Sound, video, and game controllers section.

    Right-click on Realtek(R) Audio and select Update driver.

    Choose Search automatically for updated driver software.

    If the above steps don't work, uninstall the Realtek audio driver from Device Manager, then restart your computer. Windows should automatically reinstall the driver upon reboot.

    If you have any additional questions or need further assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I'm here to help!

    Best regards,

    Nals
