Have you tried installing/reinstalling the W10 audio driver?

 

If you upgraded from W8.1 > W10 and never installed the newer audio driver, the audio will quit working at some point.

6.10.6504.0

If you have already done that, this is a relatively inexpensive audio card that has native support for W10 as long as your PC has a free PCie x1 slot.

 

The specs for your PC indicate that the motherboard came with 3 PCIe x1 slots.

I'm going to have to replace the existing card with a new card.

I have updated the audio driver before.

Thanks for the assist.

You're very welcome.

Did you manage to find what card you have to buy. I have the exact same issue. Thanks

HP Recommended

I did not.  Other aspects of the HP also started to fail so rather than throwing good money after bad I bit the bullet and bought a new PC.  AMZN had Dell's on sale, so I opted for a Dell.  I'm done with HP.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you Paul. I've been trying to get my Logitech Z625 speakers working for some time. I was about to give up. But ran across this post and your suggestion and it WORKED. Thank You So Much!!!
