so annoyed rn i was alt-tabbing out of a fullscreen game on my small form factor PC when teh whole screen just went black. Audio kept going for a sceond, then stuttered, then the picture came back with a little notification that the display driver had stopped responding and recovered. This started teh same evening i installed the NVIDIA Linux AMD64 EM64T Display Driver 580.126.18 update. Heres teh message i keep getting:

USB Audio Device Properties
Device status:
This device cannot start. (Code 10)
{Operation Failed}
The requested operation was unsuccessful.
it happens maybe twice an hour now... before the update, zero problems for months. I dont want to start blaming the hardware if this is just a bad driver, but I also dont wanna ignore a card thats on its way out, where do I even look first? any ideas??
