Go to Settings → System → Troubleshoot → Other troubleshooters → Playing Audio → Run
Follow the prompts and allow Windows to apply any suggested repair.
If issue remains, then Right-click the Start button, Open Device Manager:
- Expand Sound, video and game controllers, Audio inputs and outputs, Other devices
- Look for Realtek, High Definition Audio, Unknown device, or a device with a yellow warning mark.
- Right-click it and choose Uninstall device.
- If shown, tick Attempt to remove the driver for this device.
- Restart the computer.
After restart check if sound start working. If it doesn't then download and install below driver and check after restart:

Thank you for your assistance. I have followed your instructions and under sound, video and game controllers
Realtek use to but is no longer. I clicked on your download to hp and accepted but it does nothing. I checked to see where this file was this is its location (c:\SWSetup\SP147302) do I need to change something?
Thank you for your assistance.

Thank you I did, that's the one HP that I have to accept then next etc. Nothing happened. I checked down lodes it my system put it in a file which is inn previous reply and nothing happened. Ive received the same information form HP before with the same results-nothing. I retired from the Air Force went to University for Interior Design; I learned CAD and had my own business for 40 years. I'm not really computer savvy. All I know I fallow instruction, agree/disagree and wait when nothing happens, I ask for help, that is where I am now. I am begging to think HP wants me to buy a new computer that is no what I want to do.
thank you for your assistance.
