Answer 1

Hi,

Are you using an external speaker? What is the make and model of your device?

Error code 45 indicates that the hardware is disconnected from your computer, and you just need to reconnect it to fix the issue.

See “Error codes in Device Manager in Windows,” then expand error code 45: https://support.microsoft.com/topic/error-codes-in-device-manager-in-windows-524e9e89-4dee-8883-0afa-6bca0456324e

Answer 2

Open Device Manager, Try updating audio drivers to latest version.

You can visit also your device manufacturer's website to download audio drivers for your system model.

Or if you've already updated them, try to roll back previous version to see if that works.

Run Playing Audio troubleshooter from Settings app > System > Troubleshoot > Other troubleshooters. Let us know what it reports back.
