Since iTunes is installed using the Windows Store, search for it in the storefront and see whether an update is available. Your playback issues may result from a known bug in iTunes that Apple has since fixed in an update. After rebooting, try to play your music again. It’s a good idea to reboot your computer after a Windows update anyway, so reboot the system whether there was an update or not. The next logical step is to reset your Windows PC in case there’s a transient issue with Windows, the audio driver, or iTunes. If the audio sources look correct, head over to Windows Updates and check if there are any new updates available.
If it doesn’t, change the setting back before proceeding.
Whichever is currently selected, try the alternative to see if it helps. There are only two options Windows Audio Session or Direct Sound.
