Windows 10 Sound pauses every time monitor goes to or wakes from sleep

Hi, I have an issue where sound stop whenever my monitor goes to sleep or back.

For example, I'm listening to some stone cold heavy metal on Spotify, screen goes to sleep, sound stops for 2-3 seconds, then comes back. When I move my mouse or press a key on my keyboard to wake up the monitor, same thing happens.

I've tried 3 different monitors, different HDMI cables, DP cables, everything's the same.

Has anyone had this issue before and do you guys have any recommendations on what I could do about this?

I managed to solve the issue completely by disabling AMD High Definition Audio Device in Device Manager.

Hopefully this helps someone else as well down the line. ;)
