I'm running into some serious trouble with my setup. I've got a Gigabyte B650 X AX motherboard, an AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D CPU, and an AMD Ryzen 7800 XT GPU with Windows 10 installed. A couple of days ago, I lost audio across all devices. Initially, everything seemed fine as devices were recognized in the sound control panel, but after updating and reinstalling drivers, audio vanished completely. The taskbar's speaker icon showed a red X and the sound control panel stopped recognizing any devices, though they still appeared in the device manager.
I've tried quite a few solutions including running sfc /scannow (which found no issues), completely reinstalling audio drivers, and even reverting and then re-updating Windows without success. In desperation, I attempted to reset my PC while keeping my files, but that process failed at 71% twice. Thinking Windows 11 might be a solution, I entered the BIOS to enable secure boot and disable CSM. However, now I'm stuck in a BIOS loop, unable to boot into my system. CSM is getting disabled automatically, and no boot devices are detected. I even removed the CMOS battery for 10 minutes, but that didn't help either. I'm at my wits' end and would appreciate any help!

It sounds like you've been through a lot already! Just to keep it in mind, any major changes in BIOS or system settings can risk data loss, so always have backups. For your BIOS loop issue, try resetting the BIOS settings to defaults and see if that helps. Also, double-check your boot device priorities to ensure your hard drive is set correctly. This could help break the loop!
