[Windows Central Question]

My speakers are plugged in but my PC says they are not. I have tried to download drivers with various free software and Windows itself with no luck. I should not have to buy new speakers as they were supported in Windows 7.

Check your settings. Right click the volume icon on your taskbar and choose "Playback Devices" and make your speaker the default device.

additionally, check using another speaker or earphone if they are also not working
