I tried new speakers, same issue. I checked all settings, some settings I see online I don't see on my pc. I don't see any way to change output speakers. I tried my Android phone, same results. All software is updated. I have a HP LAPTOP , same issue. There has to be a setting I'm overlooking. Any other suggestions? HP won't help, they say it's a software issue. Their 3rd party help hung up on me! I'm at my wits end.

I searched online for troubleshooting steps, I tried every one, still can't get external speakers to work. The pc is under warranty but HP says it's a software issue. They don't cover software under warranty. They won't let me take it to Authorized Service Center to troubleshoot. I know it's not the speakers, new speakers don't work either. There mbe be a setting that I'm overlooking. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Tom

I am having the same problem, I was told that perhaps its a problem from the update. My laptop is 6 months old. However if I use headphones, I can hear. I work on Zoom every day and it is very frustrating. 1200$ laptop is supposed to last more than 6 monhs! HP wont help!

I had the same issue.. go into sound settings, then sound control panel, then click on speaker, then advanced settings and uncheck enable audio enhancements
