AOC Monitor with Built In Speakers but can't figure out how to use them

[zzmurray]

We bought 2 AOC e2752vh monitors. We can't seem to get the built in speakers to work. We turn the volume up but no sound. There is nothing in the manual other than showing where the volume button is. The monitors are plugged into the video cards and all else works fine. My kids use headphones but if I am watching them do something I want to hear, not share headphones. What do we need to do?

Plug in HDMI cable to it. Enable playback though HDMI - Speaker Icon, R Click, Playback Devices

That worked, thank you! Now a new problem. How do I switch between the monitor speakers and headphones without unplugging the hdmi and plugging in the serial cable. I thought it was set if I plug in the headphones in the front of the computer that it would override what is plugged in the back but it doesn't.

Usually you just plug the headphones in. But again, you can choose playback device when you've plugged the headphones in as above.

Thank you again. When I pulled out the headphones the speakers automatically played, but when I stuck the headphones in I had to go to the sound screen and choose headphones.

OK, something went wrong after I gave it to my daughter! The monitor's built in speakers work fine and the headphones work fine. When I unplugged the headphones the monitor speakers would begin working, when I plugged in the headphones something pops up and I click on headphones and they begin to work. All as it should.

So I gave the computer to my daughter. I was showing her how when you plug in the headphones to click on headphones and it switches from speakers. I have no idea what she did. But now we must open the "sound" window every time and set which ever one we want to use to default. It wasn't like that before, any suggestions on how to make it work correctly again?

Have a look in Playback again and see what's been ticked. Maybe a bunch of stuff has been.

I uninstalled all drivers for all sound devices. Shut down the computer. They reinstalled when I restarted the computer and everything works like it should now. Thanks for all the help. This has been stressful.
