Rapid audio cut-out in VLC, only, post-1803

I'm running the 64-bit version of 3.0.3, just freshly installed as of moments ago. Seemingly at random (but always fixed by a reboot), when playing a file (mkv, audio file, etc.) in VLC, the audio will cut-out (i.e., just "turn off") about every second for a fraction of a second. The same (audio) file shows no issue when played in something like Foobar2000 (v1.3.17) or Windows Media Player. Therefore, the issue seemingly MUST be with VLC, but I can't figure out how to fix it. Rebooting the computer does fix the problem, but I'd like a more permanent solution. Any help would be appreciated.

If you use HDMI or S/PDIF, try disabling pass-through.

Using neither.

Change audio output to DirectSound.

Change audio output to DirectSound.
There is no "DirectSound" option. Changing to "DirectX audio output" does not fix the problem.

You restarted VLC?

Correct; I did. Does not fix the problem.
The problem consistently appears after my computer wakes from sleep/standby. Again, VLC is still the only program showing any issue. Appears to happen with all file types (movies & music).

I just restarted my PC and re-played the first 30 seconds of the same file. This is the result when I am not experiencing any audio issues, for contrast:
Code: Select all
main debug: toggling pause

New member here, I was searching for a fix for this exact same problem.
All other players work fine but the audio always cuts off and I need to reselect the audio file from the audio menu
