Audio Question- Open Sound Settings- Speakers vs. Headset

I attempted to listen to a Zoom meeting using my PC Windows 10 speakers. I went to Open Sound Settings and clicked on OUTPUT Speakers. I do have a Headphone Earphone setting, but that is not the one that I clicked on. I clicked on Speakers, but regardless, the sound/audio was going through my earphones and not my speakers. After the Zoom meeting, I went to YouTube and had no problem hearing the YouTube video on my speakers. Could someone please explain to me what I need to do to listen to the Zoom meeting via my speakers on my computer rather than it defaulting to my earphones. Thanks for your help.

    Hey @Oaktree33, super weird experience! Are your headphones via Bluetooth? Have you tried just disconnecting your earphones completely from your computer to see if Zoom defaults the output source to your speakers? I would also double-check your output/input sources at the Windows devices level as well to ensure that there is no weird configuration there.
