So, the strangest thing was the cause of my audio troubles on my PC.

So here I am for 3-ish days, tryina resolve an issue I've had for...since ever?
On almost every non laptop/tablet computer I've owned.

3 Days of Google Fu, nothing worked. Though some stuff 'helped' but didn't resolve the issue entirely.

So I give up and check my audio output device settings.

Somehow, My PC was generating sound and playing them through the speakers, with that device (The Jack my speakers were plugged into) disabled? What?

Have yet to thoroughly test if this fixes the issue, but I'm crossing my fingers it does.

Hmmm...usually people say the sound does not work, not that it works too well...

I would look to see if you have alternate, and maybe unknown, audio devices, such as monitor that has speakers, or headphones or even a microphone.

If a PC has two or more sound options available to it, it may be using one, while the other appears disabled.

You could try uninstalling the sound drivers. Or...if its there, going into bios and turning off the sound capability.

Why would you want to do this?

If the sound is faint, do you have headpones plugged in that have fallen behind a desk?

Also, a blue tooth device may do this, so disable blue tooth.

I have disabled the ones I'm not using (The monitor speakers, which don't even work) and a couple others. So the only sound it should be playing is The Bose Speakers plugged into the jack.

It seems to be getting 'confused' as to which audio output I want to use, and one of those doesn't even play sound, I've tested it. It's switching between them at random points despite me going into settings in every possible outlet and disabling the ones I don't want it to use.

99% Sure it's not headphones lol

Going to check this and see if it works.
 
May have found a solution, plugging the pc to speaker cable into the AUX In cord jack seems to have resolved it for now. Crossing my fingers this is a permanent fix.
