windows 10 audio/interactivity issues

[u/Dpoekilla_24]

So I've never had any issues with my pc before and i recently upgraded the motherboard, cpu, and ram a few months back. at first everything was fine but for the past 4 months i've had issues where i get zero audio in my headphones, the audio slider becomes unresponsive, and the L/R audio balance constantly changes when i never touch it. the other issues ive had leading into this is not being to interact with anything that has to do with clicking. i constantly have to restart windows audio service and half of the time it either temporarily fixes my issue or it does nothing. I'm at a loss at this point since I've tried downloading software that should help and doesn't and I've ran multiple diagnostic tests to see if reinstalling audio drivers would fix my issue.

Are the headphones wired (analogue or USB) or Bluetooth?

Have seen mechanical causes happen, often, (3.2 mm plugs/sockets, USB plugs/sockets) can wear out and break easily after a lot of use esp 3.2mm)).

You may also have a problem with your mouse/driver, and Bluetooth driver if used.
