Same problem. No sound after mute, but a reboot brings it back. Not always like this but only for the past 6 months. Not sure how to fix or what to re-install.
W10 on Lenovo laptop. Realtek sound.

Problem:
Plugging headphones (Sound plays) -> Muting -> Unmuting -> Sound doesn't play anymore
Fix (No restart required)
Sound doesn't play -> Mute (with headphones in) -> Unplug headphones ->Unmute (with headphones out) -> Mute (with headphones out) -> Plug headphones -> Unmute (with headphones in).
This is the shortest pattern I could find. Important to follow step by step. It might not work because I have no idea why it works on my end (without starting conspiracy theories about boolean variables being out of sync on the audio driver, which would be the most embarassing thing ever for whoever wrote these drivers).
