For those where Apple Music won't produce sound output on your Windows 11 PC, do this!

As mentioned on this thread: Apple Mucis app on Windows 11 is 'playing… - Apple Community, if you're experiencing this issue, open up the Windows Device Manager and disable any unused sound controllers. In my case, after installing a new Sound Blaster Z DAC and setting that as my active and default device in Windows, Apple Music produced no output. After disabling the highlighted below, NVIDIA HD pushing audio to the outputs on my gaming monitor and Realtek Audio which is the motherboard embedded DAC, Apple Music is now producing sound as expected as it's no longer encountering any potential conflicts when interfacing with Windows. Ideally, Apple Music should use the Windows 11 active selection or default selection at the least.
