Windows 11 won't recognize my sound devices

I have two USB sound devices, some USB speakers and an adapter from USB to 3.5mm for my headphones. (The 3.5mm jack was torn out) For years this worked fine, until recently when Windows 11 just refused to acknowledge their resistance. When I replug them into different slots it works for about 30 seconds, then it goes away. All other USB devices work fine, just not these two USB speakers/headphone adapters. I tried restarting the PC, and this did not work. I really want sound )=.
