Hi for some reason my speakers have suddenly stopped working out of the blue. I've tried updating and reinstalling drivers and checked all sound setting with no luck. It works through Bluetooth speaker and headphones but not the speaker itself. Not sure what to do and any help would be appreciated. I've only had this laptop for 5 months
