Windows 10: My HP 32" monitor shows up as an audio device but there are no audio ports?

When I plug in my HP 32 monitor via HDMI, it shows up as an audio device under Settings>Bluetooth & other devices>Audio. Yet there are no speakers or audio inputs on the monitor itself. It only does this one one computer, but the other computer it doesn't show up as an audio device, but under >"Other devices".

Not a big deal, but wondering why this is happening and how to unclutter my audio devices list from non-audio devices.

Rear audio ports always show as “Not plugged in”


I've been having this issue with Windows for about a week now which NONE of the back panel/front panel connectors (speakers, microphone) are being recognized by Realtek audio manager. The only audio input/outputs that are showing are the optical.
Troubling shooting steps I've tried (none worked):

• COMPLETELY uninstall all Realtek drivers/reinstall
  
• Tried using windows drivers
  
• Reinstall Windows 10
  
• Upgraded chipset driver
  
• sfc /scannow

I called EVGA and asked for RMA but then I booted into a Ubuntu OS and all the ports work FINE. It must be a problem with windows 10.
Can you think of any other troubling shooting step I can try to fix this annoying issue? Thanks!

After looking in Device Manager under Audio inputs and outputs, I don't see any speaker/microphone listings, only the optical crap:

 

HDMI monitor shows video signal but doesn't show as audio device on Windows 10

I have 4 monitors connected to a single RTX2060. I'm able to extract audio signal from all of them, from all ports at the same time via 3rd party software (Voicemeeter) that routes audio signal for each device without having to deal with Windows 10 sound
configuration to "Listen to" a certain device (mainly because Windows 10 doesn't support delay correction).

Everything works great with audio sync'd until I turn off or restart the computer. After that, one of the monitors stops showing up as connected audio device, despite nVidia control panel showing it on "Setup Digital Audio" settings page from nVidia Control
Panel. So nVidia clearly detects all four monitors as audio device, displays video signal without issues but Windows 10 doesn't detect one of them as audio device (the rest are fine). I have uninstalled and reinstalled latest drivers (for many months), but
the issue still remains.

And because Windows 10 "thinks" there is no audio device connected, then it doesn't show up on Windows 10 Audio Control Panel as connected audio device and doesn't send audio to the monitor, hence, Voicemeeter being unable to pick that particular audio device.
All of this despite Windows 10 detecting it as connected monitor and showing video signal just fine.

Here is the thing... If I put another monitor on the Display Port occupied by the monitor that isn't detected by Windows 10 as connected audio device, then It looses audio and the monitor that had the issue initially becomes detected when connected to another
port. So there is always one monitor not being detected as connected audio device and eventually after plugging and unplugging connectors at random, all of them become detected and all start receiving audio signal just fine. So far I have been unable to replicate
the steps needed to have the monitor start being recognized by Windows 10 as audio device.

Device Manager shows all monitors as Audio Device except the one that isn't recognized by Windows 10. All four monitors show as display device (after all, it's showing video). It's just the audio thing that must be reset somehow. A click on scan for hardware
changes, nothing happens, click on hidden devices, it shows as previously installed device, but of course doesn't show as currently connected. I click on update driver but it says everything is up to date and if I uninstall the driver for that particular monitor,
then later on it becomes an issue to try to have it recognized.

Before it was another monitor that had the same issue...
