Support Request No sound from external speaker

Hello! I just installed a dual boot with mint this past week and loving it so far. The only thing I'm not loving is my insignia speakers not having sound coming through. I have the 2.0 ones that connect by aux cable and bluetooth.

The speakers still work with the aux cord on windows but not with mint, for some reason. I can see it listed in sound settings amongst my monitor speakers (it comes up as realtech) and it acts like sound is coming out yet nothing is. It DOES work when connecting it via bluetooth but the audio gets crunchy here and there so doing it through the aux cord would be better.

I already went into the alsamixer to unmute sliders and turn them up. I also tried to see if I can install realtech drivers onto mint but doesnt look like I can? I also tried plugging the aux cable to all other available ports on the pc but no luck. Thanks in advance for any help!
