Questions

Why did my sound stop after a Windows update?

Updates sometimes swap the maker’s audio driver for a generic one. Reinstalling the maker’s driver usually fixes it.

Why do headphones work but not speakers?

Windows sends sound to one device at a time. Choose the speakers as the output in sound settings.
