EndreWhiteMane: Usually it's just drivers, does powering all the way down help?
You can get a nice USB audio 'device' if the onboard one dies.
Edit: And, is this the Skype machine? It's notorious for that.
Might have something to do Windows 10 not cooperating with the device...the PC is over 5 years old. Powering down helped the last times. Cannot remember if that has happened before i upgradedd to Windows 10. I remember having some issued with my mainboard previously....
Well honestly i plan to replace the computer anyway but having to do it soon would be very unfortunate....
Yep. It is indeed the Skype machine.
Edit: The reboot fixed for the moment. But i still wonder why it happens that often recently...i used Skype before and i run Windows 10 on the machine for months now...might have to check if that also happens when i boot into Debian.
