I built a new PC recently and have been using my Xbox One controller's microphone as a microphone as I don't have one and I noticed that it wasn't connecting anymore (flashing like crazy disconnect and reconnect under Discord's settings and then stopped detecting) and went to see what's up. I noticed it was disabled so I enabled it and it started flickering enable and disable like crazy. Google didn't seem to have any help, is there a simple way to solve this? I think it's an issue with Windows, not the drivers or usb slots.
It started happening after a Windows update, but rollback didn't fix it.
Unplugging the device makes the Sound icon on the taskbar turn into an application icon. I have a recording of the flickering but it won't let me send the link so here is a photo (this but enabling and disabling like crazy)
I've also attempted to reinstall usb drivers and tried another headset too, doing the same thing so it isn't a broken microphone or so forth.
Any help would be appreciated as I am desperate at this point.

UPDATE: I noticed that this similar behavior is happening with headphones now too.
Here is what happened when I plugged in my Oculus headset:
And after I restarted my PC and attempted to disable "Oculus Virtual Audio Device":
