I recently had a new hard drive installed and the audio is only coming out of the left side and no sub woofer. My Altec Lansing speakers and sub use to rock! Is there any legacy or updated drivers that work with Windows 10.

Hi:
The only suggestion I can offer, would be to try the Windows 64 bit driver from the link below that is good for Vista through W10.
PC Audio Codecs > High Definition Audio Codecs Software - REALTEK

oops HP ended support on this 11 year old PC, sadly.
and w10 not supported.
if w7 driver found?
go to ms dot com
or google this.
how to load a w7 driver to w10 in compatibility mode, see MS link click it.
or buy a new sound card.
or dongle
or USB DAC
or well endless choices, for sound.
OOPS gone.
why not use HP official driver. that way and not realtek that tells you not to use these on OEM PCs'
Integrated Audio ALC888S, is seen on your support spec page. and driver links DEAD , DOA.
11 years old it is.

Glad the generic Realtek driver worked.
Since your PC is not supported by HP for W10, that one size fits all Realtek driver was your only option, since HP retired driver support for your PC as it is more than 10 years old, and there would have only been a W7 driver you could have used.
