I was watching a video yesterday and I went away for a few minutes only to come back to my sound completely not working. Neither headphones nor the integrated speakers work (I have a laptop GP65 Leopard 9SE) and at the same time when I go to sound settings, it shows that sound is playing. I tried reinstalling drivers multiple times and restarting my computer but to no avail. I use Boom 3d to make the sound quality better (yes I tried deleting it too, but it didn't help). What is even weirder is that when I uninstalled the drivers and only installed Boom 3d the intro of their program actually had sound, but once I logged in the same problem reappeared. I am not sure what I am supposed to do to fix it.

EDIT: Yes, I did update Windows.

EDIT 2: Sound works for a moment when I start my laptop, but after the drivers load it just stops working. When it works it shows it is "High Definition Audio" and when it stops working it shows "Realtek(R) Audio".
