Windows 10: Intermittently Unable to Control Audio

Occasionally, I won't be able to control the volume of my AirPods. I can usually fix this by restarting my computer, but the frequency of this issue popping up seems to be increasing and it's getting kind of annoying. I'm wondering if there is a root cause to this and if there's a way to resolve it?
