Sound or Audio Issues on Windows 10 PC

On my Windows 10 computer, the sound either cuts out unexpectedly, becomes distorted, or is completely absent despite having the volume turned up. The issue occurs across different applications and media players, and I have already tried restarting my computer, checking the audio drivers, and adjusting sound settings, but the problem persists. Sometimes, the audio device is not recognized correctly, or the sound drivers seem to malfunction after Windows updates. I am looking for help to identify the cause of this audio problem and find a reliable solution to restore clear and stable sound on my PC.
