Im genuinely confused. Picture on my projector 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 NVIDIA driver update. Ive checked the volume mixer, default device, everything i know of. Theres simply no HDMI output to choose. Is there a component i need to intsall separately? My family is now watching with subtitles and judging me, sooo any help would be very welcome 🙏 i am comfortable reinstalling teh driver if that is what it takes. pls help 🙏
