Audio stopped working after the program crashed on me mid-project

My program crashed on me during a new project, so I opened the task manager and clicked on end task. Then when I opened the program again all audio stopped working correctly. Now all the sound is distorted and my headset won’t work either. Not sure what to do here, because I don’t have the option to use my headset in the audio menu anymore.

Hi

Did you do a full restart the computer - Windows button, Power icon, Restart - this will reload all the drivers which may be in an unstable state as a result of the crash.
