Why are all of my input and output devices gone?

So basically, when i started up my laptop this morning, all of my output devices and input devices were gone, and my volume slider thing in the taskbar had the volume icon but with an X, meaning that there was no output or input devices. My audio on my HyperX headphones werent working either. I am so confused.

I've tried everything. I've tried factory resetting my whole PC, but the issue still occurs. I've tried all the tips that Windows had, and i've tried multiple videos. I've tried the Audio Troubleshooter and i've tried to start the Windows Audio service, but it hits me with a Error 1067, where it says that the termination ended unexpectedly. Nothing is working.

And also, sometimes the audio pops back again for like a second, but then it disappears again for no reason.

Its frustrating and i've been dealing with this for the whole day. If I could get some help, that would be the best thing ever, because this is annoying.

Thanks,

Tobias.

    Hi Tobias. My name is Lester, and I am an Independent Advisor. I'm sorry that you are experiencing this issue. I'd be more than happy to assist you.

    Do you remember making any changes such as a Windows update or hardware modification before experiencing the issue? Have you already tried to download and install the latest available audio driver from your PC manufacturer's website? Make sure that it is compatible with your PC.
