HP ENVY All-in-One - 32-a0055 audio and video out of sync - any solutions? Worst HP computer ever??

Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11

HP ENVY All-in-One - 32-a0055

I bought this computer last June (2021) and so far it's been the worst HP I've ever bought. 

When I watch videos on YouTube or other platforms or even when I edit my own videos the sound is always out of sync with the video playback.  I can fix for a little bit by disabling and then enabling my audio Realtek device and restarting my computer, but that is a big pain in the butt.  One of my main hobbies is filmmaking and I bought this so I would have more editing power, but the syncing problem makes it difficult.

Also, when I start a video, there is a one second delay between when I hit play and when I actually can hear the sound, so I miss the beginning of everything I watch.  I need solutions or a different computer!  This is ridiculous. 

OS is Windows 11 Home. Processor is Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-9700 CPU @ 3.00GHz 3.00 GHz

UPDATE: I figured out the problem.  Within my Device Manager, under the Sound, video and game controllers, my HP ENVY BT Speaker was enabled.  I do no use a Bluetooth (BT) speaker, so that seemed to be causing the problem. Once I disabled the HP ENVY BT Speaker, the audio and video was perfectly synced on all platforms.  That's a very simple fix and something that they should warn you about or at least be in their trouble-shooting program.
