help!! im genuinely confused. picture on my soundbar is great, but sound comes out of teh laptop speakers only.

USB Audio Device Properties
Device status:
This device cannot start. (Code 10)
{Operation Failed}
The requested operation was unsuccessful.
It started right after the Intel driver update 🤷 Ive checked the volume mixer, default dveice, everything i know of. Theres simply no HDMI output to choose. Is there a component i need to install separately?? My family is now watching with subtitles and jduging me, sooo any help would be very welcome, i am comfortable reinstalling teh driver if that is what it takes. thx in advance!!
