But do head to the Speakers in the control panel and try the other outputs.
I forgot to mention to reboot the PC too.
So, after randomly playing a video game, my sound decided to stop working when I loaded it back up after closing it. I tried to watch a youtube video, but still no sound. There is no issue with my headphones, and when I look at the playback tab, the speaker levels rise and lower as the video plays.
In the playback tab, however, there are 3 "NVIDIA Outputs" which all say "Not plugged in." I am assuming this is the problem. HELP!
