Windows 10: Lost sound Windows 11

No sound after sleep mode. The mixer jumps as if there is sound. Reboot didn't help. Removing the device did not help. What to do?

Good surround sound headset

I know you say you're not that guy, but stepping into the $250+ range really brings a change in build quality that might have you never having to buy another set. Otherwise, getting 6 speakers with decent sound in a headset is hard, and that's what you are asking for, and I have no suggestions, but just a bump up the list. *Stick Out Tongue
