PC audio crashing due to fall damage

Every time I fall and take fall damage in-game, it cuts my pc audio as a whole. I'm not sure why this is happening but when it does, I must replug my headphones into my audio jack for the sound of my pc to come back. On the other hand, I must close and restart Minecraft for the sound to come back. This is a pain and makes me avoid even small drops so I can keep my audio.
