Windows 10: Sound cuts out constantly!!!

Windows 11 home, watching youtube or other videos. The sound randomly stops, especially when I have it running then I goto another application or tab. The only way I can fix it is to reload the sound driver via the trouble shooting. This is the most annoying thing I have ever encountered with windows. Some days it happens 20 times, and some days once. I am at a loss on how to fix this, and hate to say it, but may need to change to a MAC os.

Sound is constantly cutting in and out.

So around a month ago, I turned my PC on to find that the audio is constantly cutting in and out on BOTH MY HEADSET AND SPEAKERS. I've listed this problem under devices and drivers, but I am fairly certain it is not a problem with my drivers.
Every driver on my PC is up to date,(According to Driver Easy) and my headset and speakers use different drivers. The sound only leaves for like a quarter of a second, but it happens every few seconds. I've tried a million different ways of updating drivers
as well as performing a repair upgrade for Windows, but the problem still persisted. I'd prefer not to clean install Windows 10 if at all possible because it seems like a pain. If someone could help me fix my sound issue I'd greatly appreciate it!

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
