Computer (Windows 11) will not recognize speakers.
I have had no issues of this nature prior to today. This morning, I booted up my computer, went to play a video, and heard no audio. Thinking that the audio output had somehow gotten stuck on some other device, I opened my sound settings, and the device for my speakers simply vanished right off the screen, and I have not been able to interact with them through my computer interface since then.
Steps I have attempted so far:
- Unplugging/replugging
- Restarting
- Trying different speakers
- Updating audio drivers
- Rolling back windows update
