If you are looking for a solution related to your AudioEndpointBuilder causing issues I strongly recommend using my solution as a last resort.
After over 3 months of searching and asking for solutions for my AudioEndpoint problem, I decided to try my own solution using the knowledge I had gained from my research.
The solution is to basically reinstall the service manual.
*I would recommend backing up your registry and files or creating a system restore point before doing this solution as any accidental mistakes could cause unforeseen problems to your PC*
First to make sure you have the same problem make sure your problem matches the image below as if yours doesn't you may have an easier solution than reinstall the service.
*If you have one of these issues use this solution as a final resort*
Step 1: Check to see if AudioEndpointBuilder.dll is in your %systemroot%\system32 folder.
1.) If it is then cut and paste it into a folder onto the desktop or documents where you can retrieve it later (If you complete the solution but still have no luck then retrieve a new version of the .dll file as explained in 2)
2.) If it isn't then you will need to acquire a copy of this file, you can do this by either (recommended) Find a backup of your pc files and copy the AudioEndpointBuilder.dll file, from %systemroot%/system32/ folder, into the random folder or download it from this link and remember its location.
*Recommend backing up your registry before doing any of the next steps*
Next press Windows Key + R and type "regedit" into the run box.
Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\
Scroll down until you see "Audiosrv" and "AudioEndpointBuilder". (If you don't see the AudioEndpointBuilder folder don't worry just continue with the solution).
*If you're missing the AudioEndpointBuilder folder, press edit, new then key. Name the folder "AudioEndpointBuilder"*
Next, click the folder and in the right box containing the "default" value right click, click new then follow the list below to create all the values. (make sure it is identical to the image)
*Use the table below to name and create the values*
Name Type Data
DependOnService
REG_MULTI_SZ PlugPlay
Description REG_SZ Manages audio devices for the Windows Audio service. If this service is stopped, audio devices and effects will not function properly. If this service is disabled, any services that explicitly depend on it will fail to start
DisplayName REG_SZ Windows Audio Endpoint Builder
ErrorControl REG_DWORD 1 (hex)
FailureActions REG_BINARY
(You may Have to enter manually)
Group REG_SZ AudioGroup
ImagePath REG_EXPAND_SZ %SystemRoot%\System32\svchost.exe -k LocalSystemNetworkRestricted -p
ObjectName REG_SZ LocalSystem
RequiredPrivileges REG_MULTI_SZ SeChangeNotifyPrivilege
ServiceSidType REG_DWORD 1 (Hex)
Start REG_DWORD 2 (Hex)
Type REG_DWORD 120 (Hex)
Next, click on the AudioEndpointBuilder folder, click new then key and name the folder Parameters.
Click on the Parameters folder and enter the value from the image below just like you did before.
Next navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Svchost
Click "Svchost" folder and in the right box locate the "LocalSystemNetworkRestricted" and add "AudioEndpointBuilder" to the bottom of the values.
Close all of the registry windows and open windows explorer and navigate to "C:\Windows\System32". Find the AudioEndpointBuilder.dll file you either copied or downloaded and paste it into this folder.
Finally, restart your PC and you're done!

If you copied your AudioEndpointBuilder.dll from a backup or you already had the file in the C:\Windows\System32 folder at the start and this solution didn't work, I recommend downloading the file from this link ( https://jmp.sh/v/1sfe07uPt4expA3Obrrv ) and copying it into the C:\Windows\System32 folder then restart. That should solve your issues.
