Windows 10. Updated
Nvidia 3070ti, updated
The computer goes silent, loses Sound completely. Like someone pressed the MUTE button.
So the reason I'm putting this on Graphics Cards forum is because I've narrowed it down to it being a problem from the Video card to the OS. However, I can see through the Sound Settings window, where you test the pings, that it is pinging. And everything else works on Windows and all other programs.
Also I'm suspicious of the video card because it's the last thing I've updated, aside from my display, which is a Sony Bravia a80j (but before you blame the TV, I've tested it with everything else, other input devices, etc. Also played sounds from the settings menu while this problem occurs with the PC, and the speakers are fine)
So, I'm sure it's software related. But I'm not sure which software: the video card's, or the OS. I've tried updating all drivers. Everything is up to date. I'm not sure what could be going wrong.
Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

UPDATE: Now, more often than not, it has no sound at all from startup. Sometimes there'll be sound for about half an hour. But recently in the last couple of days, there's no sound as soon as the computer starts.
