Windows 10: Audio not working

I was watching YouTube when my laptop suddenly restarted and when it turned back on the audio didn't work. When I hover over the audio icon what it says is "No speakers or headphones are plugged in." I've tried restarting my laptop but it did nothing, I went to device manager planning to update the audio driver but it wasn't there. Trouble shooting just says it can't do anything even though it detects a problem. I've already searched for solutions but they all said the same thing and it didn't work. Fast replies are appreciated.
