Windows 10: Low desktop audio after using VR

I had this issue on my budget PC but it randomly fixed itself at some point. On my new PC once I was done using my Oculus Rift S my desktop audio was extremely quiet. I normally listen at level 8/100 and I now have to be at 100 to hear that same volume. If I plug my headset back in I can hear from the VR headset just fine when I'm switched over to it but if I unplug it and/or switch over to my headphones as the audio source it stays really low. My volume mixer is maxed as well. I have also tried to disable and reinstall the driver for my headphones
