Windows 10: Sound Driver is treating the bass speaker as a separate entity from the stereo speakers.

Last night my audio driver stopped responding, so I re-installed it.After the install, the system started treating my bass speaker as a separate audio system from the rest of the speakers preventing me from running my audio normally.When I go to select "Playback Device", I have two instances of "Speakers High Definition Audio Device" listed instead of one.

Windows 10 treating microphone as speakers

I have a CAD u1 usb microphone that worked fine for months on my machine. Suddenly it is being treated as "speakers" by Windows 10. I have tried uninstalling the drivers, updating the drivers, anything I could think of. Every time I plug it back in,
it's listed as "C-Media USB Sound Device" with the Speakers label in Output Devices.

I can't find any drivers at all from the manufacturer website.
