I own an Asus Xonar DGX soundcard with Windows 11 installed. The audio source selection works fine and sounds normal in the settings. All system sounds, including media player and browser, play properly. No issues when testing audio. However, no output is heard from any apps or windows applications. I've enabled the audio device to allow playback of application and window sounds in settings. This problem appeared recently after running a batch file to uninstall Edge completely. Is there a solution for this?

Fixed, it seems my apps were muted in the audio mixer. It took some time to understand, especially since I'm still getting used to Windows 11.
Also, none of the articles I looked at mentioned this fix, which is confusing 😾
