Input selection, built-in test, privacy permissions, mute and device state.
Open →Second monitor not detected
Connection path, Detect, projection mode and update/driver checks.
Open →Windows 11 no sound
Output selection, mixer, enhancements and missing-device checks.

Free troubleshooting comes first. Future hardware/software affiliate links should appear only after the diagnostic path gives a reason that a replacement, adapter or paid tool is relevant. No fake “best” rankings by commission.
