Assuming you are using Win 10 or 11, try this.

Go to Settings
Click on System
Click on Sound

At top, Choose where to play sound...

Check that Speakers are selected

Then click on Speakers
Next page - check that apps and Windows allowed to use device (top option General)

see how you go with that and get back....
