Windows 10: Unable to hear sound

Hi! Earlier today I started having sound issues where I cannot hear any sound from any device be it wireless or not

I tried basically everything I could think of (drivers, restarting computer, control panel, etc)

What should I try now? I dont know if resetting my pc will work, or if its worth the time and effort

Good surround sound headset

I know you say you're not that guy, but stepping into the $250+ range really brings a change in build quality that might have you never having to buy another set. Otherwise, getting 6 speakers with decent sound in a headset is hard, and that's what you are asking for, and I have no suggestions, but just a bump up the list. *Stick Out Tongue
