So my sound will stop working for a few seconds randomly, and when it does it, my headset shows up as disconnected in playback devices tab of windows.

i have my headset connected via usb adapter like its supposed to be with

this happens more frequently when im in a voice communication app like skype/discord and my mic is on, but it still happens sometimes otherwise

i have realtek hd audio manager drivers updated, and the logitech gaming software updated for my headset.

also have dolby surround sound enabled in the logitech software, if that matters at all

Solution
That adapter doesn't have anything to do with onboard sound drivers. You might be better off turning on board sound off in the BIOS if you use USB sound device.
