'Visual studio and VS code are interfering with audio from my browser

If I am listening to music or trying to watch a video there is a chance that I will get no sound from it. It takes a little while for it to go away (I normally reload and/or open other videos until it works) but can be rather frustrating because of how often it happens. It only happens when VS or VS code is open and stops as soon as they're closed, it doesn't seem to matter how many or what files I have open. I am using chrome on windows 10. Any idea as to what could be the cause. Thanks.
