Windows 10: Major Audio Issue Involving Rift S

I'm not sure if anyone else has been having this problem. I have been using an Oculus Rift S for awhile now and this issue only started after the most recent update to Windows 10. I haven't been able to get ANY audio through my PC. Nothing through the headphones or speakers. When I plug in my headset and the headphones to the headset it works fine but otherwise, nothing.


I checked my audio devices and it's set permanently to "Headphones Oculus Virtual Audio Device" except when I plug in the head set which switches it to "Headphones Rift S". Not only that but "Headphones Oculus Virtual Audio Device" is the ONLY option available when I go to Manage Audio Devices under the Control Panel.

I have updated my computer fully, updated all my drivers, run the troubleshooter over and over and restarted my PC a number of times and nothing has helped. I have absolutely no idea what else to do.

DisplayPort/Oculus Rift S Issues

So I'm using a custom built computer I built myself with an i9-9900k, a GTX 1080 ti and 32 GB of RAM, three monitors and an Oculus Rift S. I have the primary monitor hooked up via HDMI 2.0, secondary monitor using DVI, and the third hooked up via DisplayPort.
The Oculus Rift S is hooked up via DisplayPort as well. However the issue I'm having is that every time I plug in the Rift, a few things happen. First, the Rift software shows the Rift hooked up with DisplayPort perfectly fine for a second or two, then cuts
back to it not being connected. At the same time, the third monitor (which uses DisplayPort as well) flashes black as if it disconnected and then reconnected. I've scoured the internet looking for an fix for this issue. Apparently it's a fairly widespread
between Windows and DisplayPort going back at least a few versions of Windows itself. I have not found anything to fix this issue and have tried every possible thing that I can find, from updating the GPU drivers and Windows updates to unplugging the monitors
(all of them) and plugging them back in in every order I can think of and restarting the system in between.

Is there anything ELSE I can do to get the Rift to work beyond the obvious steps I've taken?
