No headphone internet or file sound

   I finally built my Ryzen system.

It's the Tiachi x370, Ryzen 5-1600, G.skill 3200, Zotac GF GTX 1080 (only reasonable $ card left back in 2017, with crypto craze happening), and Win10.

I tried the headphones plugged into the front case jack, and the rear speaker out (green jack) on the rear panel.
Going into the Realtek audio, or the control panel in Win10, and hitting the test button I get the test sounds L-R in the headphone speakers.

But when I try to play a movie from my PC or listen to any streaming content there is no sound in the headphones.

How can I get media sounds to play on the jacks?

	Looks like it was the default settings. I went back to control panel. The first time I was in the sound settings there was a check mark on the HDMI AND the Speakers (maybe it's the new system struggling to figure everything out). This time it was just the HDMI that was checked and set as default. So I disabled the HDMI and made sure the Speakers were enabled. I now have sound working normally on the headphones for various media.
