3.5mm Speaker not detected.
Hello, I'm a new to Linux and new to Bazzite user. I just got my computer up and running yesterday. I was learning the system when I recognized my audio was coming out of my monitor and not the 3.5mm jack speakers I had plugged in. I went to sound settings and it doesn't seem to exist on output devices. I've replugged, restarted, tried different ports, and a handful of other things with a friend on another discord server. The speakers still work, and were being used on my other computer just fine. I just can't get the device to show up at all.
My motherboard is https://www.asrock.com/MB/AMD/B650M-HM.2+/index.asp
I may go to sleep after posting this, it's 1am after trying really hard to fix this. Help would be appreciated.

Okay I fixed this and am posting my answer for anyone else. My friend who was helping is a bit baffled, so am I. I unplugged my 3.5mm microphone and plugged in the speaker and it showed up. If I plugged in the mic, the speaker would disappear again.
To get both to stay I had to set the speaker to Duplex, when it was plugged in alone. When the mic was plugged in the only option was OFF or Input. But when the speaker was plugged in alone I got the duplex profile option to appear.
So I was super tired when I typed the above. So there were three 3.5mm ports on the computer. I only had the mix plugged into the mic spot and the speaker plugged into the speaker spot. For some reason I did not have access to the duplex profile option and I was stuck in input only, and all ports were using the same profile.
