Hi, welcome to TSF.

Click Start > Run > type services.msc - then click OK.
In the new window - Scroll down to "Windows Audio", right-click on it and select Properties.
Another new window - set the startup type to Automatic, click Apply and then click Start.

Disable the onboard sound device (Realtek ALC883) in BIOS > integrated peripherals (or similar).
