I am inclined to think that this might be a hardware problem and not a software problem.
When did the "remove sounds" started to happen?
- Go here, download DDU.
- run DDU in save mode to de-install all NVIDIA driver components.
- after reeboot, install the driver again in this way:
- shut down any not necessary programs in the background.
- shout down any and all system monitoring programs and any overlooking tools you might have.
- shut down your virus scanner.
- install the driver from the installer Exe, don't use GeForce experience.
- use the custom installation and only install the components you need. (don't deselect components you need, the installation program will de-install them if you do)
- always preform a clean installation. (if you have profiles for games, back them up using "NVIDIA inspector")
Try lunch any program for monitoring cpu and gpu temperatures and check it for overheating when u play
