Mechanical Keyboard Sound Isn't That Simple

Looking back just a few years ago, there’s no doubt that the huge influx of people that joined the hobby at the peak of the COVID pandemic were drawn to keyboards by way of YouTube, TikTok, and other audio-visual content platforms.

The keyboard works fine on another computer as far as I know, I haven't really used it extensively on that computer.
I've tried reinstalling USB drivers and keyboard drivers nothing works.
I have completely wiped my computer, reinstalled windows, still doesn't work.

I changed the LEDs for the keyboard on my other computer using the Keyboard Configurator using the mdloader stuff; thought all the lights use too much power. Still doesn't work.
Thanks :)
