Which just SCREAMS that there is an issue with the sound card driver.  Are you using the "service station" software that comes from you computer manufacturer, e.g., Lenovo Vantage, HP Support Assistant, to keep all of your drivers and UEFI/BIOS up-to-date?  If not, then get to your computer's maker's support pages for your make and model and download that software and get it set up.

The importance of keeping all aspects of a computer system up to date cannot be overstated.

It’s not lack of contact with the world off campus that leads to the liberal views common in academia — it’s being trained to think critically and practicing this craft daily as we look at the world around us that makes us the libs conservatives so dislike.

I've made sure even optional updates have run, and now I've run the Jaws
repair. I'll see in a few days if that worked or not.

And I have a Lenovo, and all of its drivers are up-to-date.

Have you tried running DISM/SFC? What model of laptop do you have?

Molly,

Great minds thinks along similar lines.  I've posted what follows more times than I can count, but it's appropriate, again, here:

On any Windows machine running Windows 10 or later, when issues inexplicably present themselves “out of the blue” and with seemingly no reason, these are the two things I recommend doing, in order:

1. Using DISM (Deployment Imaging Servicing and Management) and SFC (System File Checker) to Repair Windows 8.1, 10 & 11

2. Performing a Windows 10 or 11 Repair Install or Feature Update Using the Windows ISO file

If #1 fixes the issue, #2 is unnecessary.
