Welcome
I would guess a driver problem.
Go to search
type cmd
in cmd type device manage
In device manager look for yellow warning markers, very small, to show corrupted drivers.
Update the sound drivers.

I would go to the website and get the most up to date. The updater gives you the generic, one size fits all, the website gives you the specific for your card.

Go back to device manager and see the manufactuer of your card, then go to that website, maybe support, maybe downloads and save the correct driver to your desktop. I will help you from there.

Now we know that we need VIA.
Now go to the VIA page and save to your desktop.
