I have a windows 10 pc. I have not set up my speakers yet and I am trying to use my headphones for now, but there is no sound coming. I am sure that the headphones work. What should I do?
 
Solution
Little speaker icon in the task bar (bottom right by clock)

Right click the little speaker icon and select playback devices.

You should see a couple there, right click Speakers and Set as Default Device.

That should do it!

If your task tray speaker icon has a red X on it, let me know and we can help with that too.
