Why can't I hear my companions talking unless I'm looking at them?

    This could be a simple settings problem, but check the connection of your speakers to the motherboard.

    There is a newer Realtek Audio driver available on the ASUS website of your board > Download and install the "Realtek Audio Driver V6.0.9091.1 for Windows 10 64-bit & Win11 64-bit---(WHQL)" drive > Restart your PC > Test.

    Check that they are plugged in correctly. (Unplug them and re-plug them making sure they are completely inserted.)

    NVM, i guess the driver download worked after all. (kind of confusing since it said it failed, but whatever I'm not complaining). Anyway now I can hear them talking behind me without having to turn around and face them. Thanks to everyone for their patience in helping me out.
