Hi, I'm having a weird problem with my notification sounds when using the speaker plugin. It worked yesterday but suddenly stopped working today. Sound on videos like YouTube works perfectly and when I switch to my monitor sound connected via DisplayPort, those notifications work fine too. Unfortunately my monitor speakers are not good enough so I prefer to use my regular speakers which already work perfectly well. I've checked all system settings I can think of and notifications are turned on and apparently my speakers actually do work since I can hear YouTube and Netflix. Anyone have an idea how to fix this?

Have you tried re-installing those audio drivers? If you're using an integrated chip, you probably can't find official ones. Just check your motherboard site to see if they are available there.
