I've been struggling to get audio to work from my headphones ever since I upgraded to new monitors. I've gone through so many troubleshooting steps—I've checked the Registry Editor, tinkered with services, uninstalled and reinstalled drivers, and switched my audio outputs multiple times to no avail. The audio service won't start at all during troubleshooting. Initially, there were some graphical issues with the new monitors that seemed to fix themselves after a couple of restarts, but now I'm left without sound. I've even tried changing the Log On setting in Services to Local Computer, which is often suggested, but still nothing. My Volume Mixer shows no errors, just silence, and I'm out of ideas. I'd really appreciate any help because I really want to hear something again!

Have you tried connecting your monitor to a different device, like another computer or a game console? This can help figure out if the problem is with the monitor or your computer. Sometimes it's the simplest things that can uncover the issue!
I tested my headphones with the monitor by connecting it to my Nintendo Switch, and that worked just fine. So I'm leaning towards it being a computer issue since the audio works on other devices.
