Audio stops playing, Windows 10

Once and a while all audio on my computer just sort of stops. It seems more complicated than that, let me explain. I can load up youtube and the video will buffer through, but it won't start playing. Instead the circle thing just goes round and round. If I try playing an audio file on my computer I get this message. (In foobar2000)

And opening sound devices gives me this.

Re plugging in my audio stuff doesn't fix it. What's strange is that the video and the song should start playing and I should just not be able to hear anything if it was an audio issue. So why are these things refusing to play anyway? So far, my only fix is a restart. \

 

 

Edit: It figures, it just started working again. Still, what would be the issue?

Are your drivers up to date? Have your tried clean installing it?

They are up to date. When I went to windows 10 I did a clean install. 

 

Audio just stopped working again.

Have you checked your connections? Are they correctly routed to your speakers?

Connections are fine. It's a windows thing.

Do you have any sound cards installed in the motherboard slots? Are they seated well?

Does this occur with the browser you use(Firefox, Chrome, etc)?

 It occurs in my browser (chrome) as well as any music player whether it be foobar or Groove Music.
