Method 1:

Press Win + S keys and in the Search box type in Troubleshooting. Under Hardware and Sound Click Playing Audio.
Method 2:
Check Windows Audio Service is running. Check the services manually.
I suggest that you check if the dependency services are started and check if you have the same issue.
a. Click Start, type Services.msc in the Start Search box.
b. Scroll down the list of services, right-click Windows Audio and select Start.
c. Select Properties for Windows Audio and set its Startup Type to Automatic.
Method 3:
If the dependency services are not starting, you can uninstall and reinstall the Audio drivers.
