My audio for minecraft bedrock edition is not working

big change, it now shows up on the audio mixer. in Minecraft it doesn't have in the settings an output device setting but now it shows up on the audio mixer

I just now realized that this might be correlated with the fact that I can't always load Minecraft because it will get stuck loading at 35% or 41% and I have to open the launcher again and launch it until it works and when it gets stuck loading, if I'm on a discord call or listening to something the last thing I hear is stretched out in one long tone and this will last until I either load the game or I restart my pc, but when I do load Minecraft, my audio is muted and I can't un-mute it until I unplug then plug my headphones back in then I have to turn my volume up. The issue has persisted after reinstalling Minecraft.

Hmm, In Minecraft, go to Settings > Audio and confirm that the "Output Device" matches the device you are currently using.

If issues still persist, let's check if there are any 3rd party services that's conflicting with your game's audio.

Press Windows + R, type msconfig, and press Enter.

In the System Configuration window, go to the Services tab.

Check Hide all Microsoft services, then click Disable all.

Go to the Startup tab and click Open Task Manager.

In Task Manager, disable all startup items.

Close Task Manager, then click OK in System Configuration.

Restart your computer.

I just did and still no audio for bedrock, and I check the sound mixer, game and system audio, and advanced sound options it still looks the same.

I have not but I will now
