Audio on Dell PC disappears

Hi -

Sorry, I apologize, if this has already been asked here many times before or if it's bad for any other reason, but Monday evening I discovered that I couldn’t get any audio on my Dell PC (bought in summer of 2021) for whatever unknown reason, and couldn’t figure out what it could possibly be due to. So I just restarted my PC, and then the whole audio system returned to normal. But then on Tuesday evening the exact same thing happened (repeated itself). I haven’t been able to find out what misfortune happens to my audio system in the evening, and only restarting my PC restores all the audio. I don’t want to have to keep restarting my PC each & every time all the sound disappears, so before it happens again, can anyone whatsoever help me at all? I would very much appreciate it – thanks.

Uninstall the Audio driver and install the newest version of the driver from the Audio device manufacturer website.

Have you checked whether it is a problem of the headphones/speakers?

Seen it happen in an old optiplex 9020 ultra sff tower I had. Unplugged the speaker from the Mobo after a month of it happening. Plugged it back in and it worked for a few weeks then completely went out.
