Windows 10: Realtek HD audio speakers "Not plugged in"

please help me

Realtek HD audio speakers "Not plugged in"

If your case has two front panel audio connection options, did you use the
HD audio motherboard connector ?

AC97 is 'legacy' and may not work on some current motherboards.

( There may also be an option to switch between HD and AC97 in the Realtek audio manager, or BIOS

when using an HD audio connector. If your Realtek audio manager has this option, play around with

this for different results with the other settings that control front and back panels )

- Do either speaker or headphone show in Device Manager, Control Panel > Sound,

and the Realtek audio manager ?

'I have like 2 headphones plugged in and two front speakers '

- Start out with either speakers, or a headphone until you get the audio going.

Use the rear outputs for the speakers, and front for headphones.

I would be inclined to try and get the rear speaker output going first because it is connected

directly to the motherboard.

Realtek HD audio speakers "Not plugged in"

Explanation - About 2 days ago my new mini its chassis came in "NCASE M1". I put my computer together and everything seemed to be running perfectly. When I signed in for the first time the next
day, the sound icon in the bottom right corner of the taskbar. There was a little red x. Usually, this just means that I don't have a default playback device selected and I could fix it very easily. But I was prompted with troubleshooting
of all my playback devices. Told my "Realtek HD Audio 2nd output is not plugged in. I hover over the sound icon on the taskbar and it says "No speakers or headphones are plugged in". Although I have like 2 headphones plugged in and two front speakers that
should be working. Below is a list of things I've already started to hopefully resolve the problem. none of them below have worked for me.

Things I've Already Tried - (NONE OF THESE HAVE WORKED)

• Reinstalling Realtek Driver
• Ran the windows sound troubleshooter
• Attempted a system reset (didn't work came up with error
  "Windows has a problem resetting your computer: no changes has been made".
• Uninstalled soundcard driver and restarted.

At this point, I'm losing faith in everything. I've attempted what feels like every possible fix and still no good positive outcome. If anyone has any feedback on what my problem is I would be very thankful!
