How to start windows audio service full#

Tried adding System as permission group for AudioSrv and AudioEndpointBreaker to find out both already had Administrators, my user, and System with full Control.

Opened services window and tried starting the Windows Audio service (Access Denied ).

Start the Audiosrv service from Task Manager (failed to start but keep in mind the EndpointBreaker service was running).

I honestly have no clue what could've happened while I was working, but I'd rather not have to reinstall my windows to lose all my files. As a final attempt I tried to open the Command Prompt as administrator and entered sfc /scannow. Keep in mind I've restarted after every one of these fixes, both the service and my computer afterwards. As an attempt I tried to do test sound, and this error appears. None of my speakers/headphones are creating sound even though the service turned on and I can see all my devices. I try to change the logon to use Local System Account (WITH INTERACT DESKTOP CHECKED!) and voila, my audio service is running! But my bad luck continues.

Turns out they were already there with FULL CONTROL for both. So after searching a solution I went into regedit and was told to add System as a permission group for AudioSrv and the AudioEndpointBreaker service. From here I went to the Services window and tried starting it from there (Windows Audio) and, after trying to start, says Access Denied (Error 0x80070005). I first try to use the task manager to start the service (Audiosrv) and it would blink at Starting then immediately go back to Stopped. I force restart my computer and, after it boots up, I see that the Windows Audio Service is stopped. Here's how it started I got home from work one day to see my computer has no video signal but is turned on and receiving input from my mouse/keyboard. I have tried so many different solutions I can't even recall all of them. My Audio Service refuses to function properly.
