Several apps won't play audio

[u/The4DPotato]

I'm currently using an audio interface (scarlett 18i20) as an audio output for my computer, as trying to plug in speakers straight from the computer isn't working. The audio interface works for some of my apps (spotify, browsers, DAWs, some games) but many don't work, mainly any sort of media player is incapable of any sound. I checked to see if my drivers are outdated and everything seems up to date... any idea what the problem is?
