Windows 10: Sound service stopped working

Hi, my nephew had messed with my laptop and now the audio service is now stuck on 'stopping' and the other audio terminal creation service has stopped and won't start, I tried restarting my laptop but that didn't work, is there is a way to get it going again.

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
