Windows 10: Whenever I right click my microphone in sound control panel, it crashes.

I changed my hz for my microphone and it was too loud, so then i went back to the sound control panel, tried to right click it and it just closes after a few seconds.

:)

 

Headphone, earphone and microphone are not in Sound Control Panel.

Windows 10 64 bit








Stereo mix and line & mic at front or rear panel don't work too.

I somehow managed to get my headphone to play the same thing as my speaker at the same time but that's as far as i got.
