Hello.
My speakers suddenly stopped working.
No sounds are coming from headphones too. They come only from my monitor's speaker.
I have tried to check if it's muted and reinstall drivers through device manager and computer manager-services.
Troubleshooting says that sound is working properly. Sound mixer is showing, that it's working correctly too.
Is this hardware issue? Thank you.
