The Windows Sound settings show Nvidia High Definition Audio for the monitor, but my laptop uses Realtek Audio. I've attached a screenshot of my sound options and driver info if you need more details.
I'm still looking for a solution—maybe reinstalling Windows or doing a factory reset could help. Let me know if you need anything else!
