Okay, I know there are many posts about sound, but I'm at my wits end here. I will do my best to explain whats going on.
I have 3 sound devices: Earbuds [G FITS Gaming Earbuds], NVidia [HDA NVidia], and Audio [USB Audio]. I do not use Nvidia HDMI sound, and the Audio [USB Audio] is the motherboard S/PDIF audio.
I cannot get the motherboard audio to work. I'm fairy certain that it should work as I dual boot with Linux Mint and it works just fine there. Ive also tested it on Ubuntu 24.04.
Here are some screenshots of pavucontrol.
I have verified that the card is not muted in ALSA mixer. I see that there is sound being picked up on input as well as output, which I dont think is correct. Where should I look to verify the correct path of audio from my soundcard to my speakers?

Your Earbuds are connected wirelessly? If yes, turn the Earbuds off so that only the USB Audio is active. Then click in Pulse Audio Volume Control in the Output Tab and the green Marker on the right side beneath the Name of the Output. that should it set to the default Fallback audio. Then make a Reboot and look if it is still chosen. And then connect Your Earbuds back, check if the Sound goes automatically over them and then unconnect them again to check if the Audio goes automatically back to Your USB Audio.
