Windows 10: input and output audio cut offs

it usually happens when im playing games whether it be minecraft or something else, and seems to be random since in some cases it breaks just a few minutes after starting but sometimes doesnt break. when it happens my device laptop seemingly looses comprehension of what is a microphone often with the cut of output audio aswell and doesnt let me open the sound setting. the only way of fixing it is a restart since whenever i try to change input devices or open the system sound settings the app freezes up/doesnt open.

input and output audio cut offs

it usually happens when im playing games whether it be minecraft or something else, and seems to be random since in some cases it breaks just a few minutes after starting but sometimes doesnt break. when it happens my device (laptop) seemingly looses comprehension of what is a microphone (often with the cut of output audio aswell) and doesnt let me open the sound setting. the only way of fixing it is a restart since whenever i try to change input devices or open the system sound settings the app freezes up/doesnt open.

 

No audio input or output devices found
