Windows 10: reset the sound system without a reboot

The troubleshooter can reset the sound system without a reboot.There must be a way to directly access the place that does the reset without having to go thru the troubleshooter. Can anyone point directly to the place in the system that starts the reset?

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

 

No sound after reboot in Windows 10

At some point my sound in windows disappeared. I can't be sure what caused it but I am sure it happened directly after a skype meeting(skype for business) where I used skype for the first time with my mic instead of my phone. After many hours of searching
and trying the following:

• Sound troubleshooter in windows
• Reinstalling the sound drivers
• Using a clean boot where I disabled all non windows services and startup programs
• Setting my sound system as the default.
• Many google searches.

I finally discovered one way to get my sound to work which is the following procedure.

1. go to device manager
2. right click my Realtek High Definition Audio, remove the device and all installed drivers.
3. Reboot
4. repeat step 2
5. repeat step 3

It baffles me why I have to remove my drivers twice. But finally my sound works. Only one problem. If I reboot again my sound is gone again and I have to go through above steps again to get to work once.

Please help, I tried everything I can think of or find on google.
