Windows 10: dell desktop speakers are not working it shows no output device found

My speakers aren't working since I recently purchased a Dell PC; it says there is no output device. Could you please help?

how to select the output audio speakers

To change the speaker output on Windows Media Player, you can try the following steps:

1. Open Windows Media Player.
   
2. Click on “Tools” and then “Options”.
   
3. Click on the “Devices” tab.
   
4. Click on “Speakers” and then “Properties”.
   
5. Select the audio device you want to use and click on “OK”.
   
6. You may also have to restart WMP for changes to take effect.
   

If the above steps don’t work, you can try changing the default sound device in Windows 11. Here’s how you can do it:

1. Open the Settings app by pressing the Windows key + I.
   
2. Click on “System” and then “Sound”.
   
3. Under the “Output” section, click on the “Choose where to play sound” setting.
   
4. Select the speakers, headphones, or headsets you want to use.
   

 

Internal monitor speakers showing up as audio device but not an audio output option

I am using a new Dell XPS 15 laptop (Windows 11) connected (via USB-C) to a Dell 4K monitor via a Thunderbolt Dock. I'm keeping the laptop closed and using only the external monitor. However, I cannot play audio through the monitor's integrated speakers. When I go to sound settings in Windows 11, I can only see the laptop's Realtek speakers listed. The monitor, however, is shown as an "audio" device on the devices page. How can I make the speakers inside the monitor show up as an audio output option? I have installed all Windows 11 and Dell XPS updates, including BIOS.

 

Adding an output device

I have paired a Bluetooth speaker to my Dell laptop but it is not listed in the output devices and I can get no sound from the speaker I only get sound from the internal laptop speaker. Do I have to add it to the output devices and, if so, how do I do
that?
