Windows 10: Sound Settings window/audio output and input devices rapidly flickering whenever I plug a...

As the title states, my sound settings window suddenly starting flickering last night without any warning.


Whenever I try to plug a headset in, it doesn't register unless I click manage sound devices and enable it. When I do this, everything on the sound window starts flickering rapidly, maybe 3-5 times every second, between my enabled devices speakers and headset.

When this happens, I'm unable to click on anything or select a device in either input or output; and my GPU spikes up to about 60% usage.


Things I've already tried:

• Updating my drivers: I updated all of my drivers last night when this started. Everything is up to date.
• Restarting my computer: I've done this over and over again. It seems to fix the solution of my audio flickering, but it no longer registers my headset when it's plugged in. When I try to re-enable my headset, it starts flickering again.
• Disabling then enabling devices: I've done this in the control panel sound settings already.

I'm not sure where else to go here. I've searched for solutions online, and the only similar thing I could find came with an answer of updating your drivers, which as I said, I've already done.


What else could it be? Maybe a loose component in my computer? It's a custom-built gaming desktop.


Thanks for the help.

Unfortunately, that did not work. There is something listed under the sound now in the device manager and that says it is functioning, but i still have no sound and it states there are no input and output devices.
