After resetting my laptop (both with and then without saving files), my volume no can only be changed by the volume mixer.
Using HP support assistant, i was able to fix the mute button not working (temp, it doesn't work again), but now i have no idea how to fix this problem. I tried installing AMD drivers from https://www.amd.com/en/support/downloads/drivers.html/processors/ryzen/ryzen-7000-series/amd-ryzen-7... but for some reason it wouldn't install anything.
Solved! Go to Solution.
