Windows 10: Audio changed after forced windows update :)

My sound settings that have been perfect for years has changed after a forced windows update !

I cannot for the life of me get it back to how it sounded! I do not have recovery enable so that's not an option. Is there a way to get back my old audio settings or what? Why did a forced windows update change my sound settings that I had perfected for years?!?!?!!!!!!!!!!!!????????

I'm a streamer and can't stream until it's fixed because I literally cannot hear a single thing when I play.
