I connected my speakers to 3.5mm port in the back of my pc(on the motherboard) and OS doesn't detect them. I went to "Sound" settings and there were only my headphones and HDMI output because my monitor has speakers.

Note that I just installed Elementary OS today and haven't played around with drivers or anything.

How do I detect my newly connected speakers?

I'm using Hera 5.1.3

Thanks!

  • Thanks for the answer, but if I can't see them in my Sound settings, how can I make them default device over headphones? I don't want to play them both in the same time.

In the end, I just plug out my headphones when I want to use speakers and it automatically switches to speakers, and when I want to use headphones, I just plug them back in.
