I just set up my new gaming PC yesterday, but I'm experiencing issues with audio output. My system indicates that the Realtek Digital Output is active, yet I'm not hearing anything. I've tried reinstalling the drivers from the ASUS driver hub, but that didn't resolve the issue. I also connected my Bluetooth speaker, but the sound is glitchy. What steps can I take to fix this?

First, double-check your audio output settings in Windows. Make sure the correct device is selected! Have you tried using wired headphones or speakers instead of Bluetooth? Bluetooth can sometimes lead to connectivity issues and lower audio quality. If the Bluetooth speaker is set as a headset in the settings, switch it to be recognized as just a speaker or headphones.

I’ve only tried the Realtek Audio Output and my Bluetooth speaker so far. The system recognizes my monitor and Realtek Output, but nothing plays through them. It looks like the sound bar moves when I play videos, but I still can't hear anything. The glitchy audio from my Bluetooth speaker is frustrating too.
