Can’t get playback after changing playback engine

I’ve mainly been working on this sound design project on the go with my headphones plugged directly in, but I sat down to do some work at my desk finally. It automatically switched the wrong playback device so I manually switched it to my Volt 1 and now I can’t get playback at all. I think I’ve seen this problem before at a studio, but the studio manager fixed it without showing me how or telling me what exactly the problem was.

TLDR: I can move the cursor manually so it’s not like it’s stuck, it just won’t play.
