Windows 10: Strange audio problems

I haven’t been on my pc in a while but when I was on it last (these didn’t happen on the same day) some things happened, I heard audio crackles while booting my pc, after the boot I Heard a Windows usb disconnection sound, and once I was listening to music, doing a full windows defender scan in the back ground an I got a steam notification and the notification sound was crackling and it sounded very choppy. Should I be concerned at all? And if there is a problem, what can I do? is this a problem with my hardware, my audio drivers, or is it just weird and I shouldn’t worry. Also when I listen to music everything sounds fine. Also all of these happened weeks apart from on another

Edit: I should also mention that this is my first build so I don’t know what to expect. Is this just a bug, out of date drivers, or a sign of hardware failure?

Edit: my headphones are only a few months old, and I use an audio interface and just the audio interface drivers, no Realtek drivers or anything like that.

Strange audio problem on Windows 10

I keep having this strange problem with any headphones plugged into my computer where the audio doesn't work at all but if I mute then unmute the volume while a sound is playing it magically starts working again, but then if I stop the audio on my computer
and then try and play it again, the audio will not work again. Any suggestions?
