Windows 10: Audio randomly cutting out

My audio keeps randomly cutting out, always for short periods of time but its also not consistent, anywhere between less than a second and almost 10 seconds. It seems like it happens more often while playing video games, but not exclusively. The best explanation I've been able to come up with is it looks like when the audio is cutting out, my audio outputs are disappearing from the list in the sound devices screen, but I have no idea why and can't get it to stop.

Audio randomly cutting out

Can someone help me but for some odd reason for the past couple of days I've been experiencing audio cutting out(as shown Screen capture - 2eebf219956e244eabed33609ed374e3 - Gyazo )? I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling my audio driver to the point where
I even did a hard restart but the issue comes back with only one of my random applications randomly muting itself.

 

Audio Cutting out when in Games

For some reason whenever I am in games my audio will randomly cut out for a few seconds and then come right back. However, if I am listening to a youtube video or on a voice call with someone at the same time my game audio will cut out, but the audio from the video/call won't. I have tried updating drivers, messing in the properties of my headphones in sound settings, and even checking the HD Audio connection on my motherboard. This issue also only just started after I installed a new CPU and GPU into my machine, so I am thinking it's connected. Any suggestions?
