'Audio Renderer Error' when using any external speaker (YouTube)

Question

My issue is happening on an Alienware Aurora 16x with Windows 11 and all updated drivers. Any time I try to connect my Airpods via Bluetooth or my headset via USB I am given an error from Youtube saying 'Audio Renderer Error, please restart,' though restarting my laptop, reconnecting my devices, etc. does not resolve my issue. I've spent probably a total of an hour sifting through solutions online and have not found one that will work twice in a row.
