I have a correctly functioning Realtek card, newly reinstalled driver,
everything unmuted but, despite that, there is no sound coming from
the onboard speakers. I have not looked at the BIOS yet because I am
new to Windows.

The BIOS is part of the hardware, so being new to an operating system is
irrelevant. :-)
Anyway, when Windows reports hardware as functioning, it won't be disabled
in the BIOS.

The only additional cause I can think of (but there may be many more!):
Have you selected those speakers as the audio output device (rather than
Bluetooth audio, a USB device or whatever)?

Then Windows default is set through Control Panel | Sounds and Audio Devices
| Audio | Sound playback Default device, but applications may offer to
override that default for themselves.
