Windows 10: Cannot hear anything from default laptop speaker error code: 0xC00D36FA

I stumbled across this error when listening to a downloaded file, and i can't hear anything from the web also. When I connect my bluetooth or any other speakers, it works just fine. I can only find fixes for Windows 10 only, any help?

Speaker issue

If that is the case, your built-in speakers may be disabled or not set to default that is why you can't hear any sounds when you use the speakers of your laptop. We recommend that you check the
Playback devices to see if your built-in speakers is disabled or not set to default. To do this, follow the steps here:

• Right-click the sound icon which can be found on the lower-right part of your screen.
• Click Playback devices.
• Under the Playback tab, right click the empty space and make sure that both
  Show Disabled Devices and Show Disconnected Devices are checked. If the two options are not checked, kindly click them to activate the options.
• Check if your laptop's speakers is enabled and set as default. If it is disabled, right-click it and choose
  Enable. After enabling your laptop's speakers, click Set Default.
• Click Apply, and the click OK.
• Check if you'll hear any sounds. If it's still the same, kindly send us a screenshot of the list of your Playback devices for us to know the speakers that your laptop is using.

We hope to hear from you soon.
