My PC has no audio. I use Kubuntu 24.04 and KDE Plasma 5.27.12. I know nothing about computers. My monitor is a HQ 19.5". Apparently it has no audio output, but the audio also doesn't work if I try and connect earphones. I get audio only when I connect my CPU to the TV in the living room. Should I buy a new monitor?

The audio system shows 2 outputs (HDMI and Pro Audio) which I can select with or without earphones connected, and I tested both with the earphones connected and there was no audio. I connected the earphones through the top and back connectors, and I tested with both outputs listed above. In the past I also tried connecting speakers to it, but it still had no audio.
