Installed GPU, mic won't work now
I just installed a gpu, and I connected the gpu to my monitor. Now, when I connect my headset to my motherboard slots though, I can't hear anything or say anything. I can only hear when my mic is connected to my monitor, but I can't speak. What do I do?

Your default audio device defaulted to your GPU HDMI/DP output. Click on the speaker icon in the bottom left, go into your sound settings. Set your speakers/headphones as your default.

I feel like an absolute idiot because I'm so anxious I didn't rebuild correctly. Totally forgot to check lol
