Says loudpeaker not connected....Have had the problem since I bought the computer three years ago so used an external speaker and never tried to fix it. Can anyone help?
...Also, apparently audio device (Realtek High Definition Audio) is installed but not connected. Any ideas?

@Anonymous75 -- within "Settings" in Windows 10, open the "Audio" app.
In the "Audio Out" section, what device is the "default" output device? Headphones? Speakers? Optical-out?

@Anonymous75 -- is this your computer: HP Pavilion Desktop - 570-p003ns PC Product Specifications | HP® Customer Support
I see:
Product Number: 1GT27EA
Release Date: 3-Feb-2017
Country/Region Sold In: Spain
and, under Integrated audio:
Audio Codec: ALC3863-CG
High Definition (Azalia) 5.1 channel audio support
Audio jack presence detection
NOTE: An internal speaker is not included with integrated audio.
External speakers or headphones are required to hear sound.
So, you were correct when you connected external speakers.
Does your monitor have its own built-in speakers? If so, you could connect "audio-output" on your computer to the "audio-input" on such a monitor, instead of connecting stand-alone speakers.
