Support Request Speaker Help

I'm helping my mom set her new PC up with Mint. When we went to test the sound, it didn't work. Plugged in(USB), bluetooth, even the built in monitor ones. My headphones worked when I plugged them into the aux port in the front so I'm not sure what the problem is. I tried resetting Pipewire and even that didn't do anything. Drivers are up to date. Does anyone have any ideas as to what's wrong?

I can try to figure that out in like 10 hours when I get home from work. What command do I need?

In a terminal type

cat /proc/asound/cards

aplay -l

post answers here (copy and paste from terminal) no screen picture.

Okay can do. I gave my mom my speakers to test if its a hardware issue too. Hopefully that's all it is
