Low volume

[Blitzz]

Speaker = Internal Speaker

Device and application volume = all set to 100%. (This includes Chrome where I play youtube lecture videos)

Speaker name = Realtek Audio

Drivers are upto date.

The volume is low. 

Dolby access is not free. (microsoft office too, no access key). Laptop costed 1Lakh 27 thousand with a student discount.

Are we supposed to buy some more software for Omen to give out sound as good as an average smart phone?

or

is there something simple that I might be missing!

@Blitzz Welcome to HP Community!

I understand that you are facing issues with low volume.

I have a few steps you could perform to resolve the issue: Remove the audio drivers & Reinstall the original drivers Update the Audio drivers from the Official HP website for windows 10 (click on change on the top to switch between OS).

Increase volume on playback device settings after setting your speaker as the default device. For more steps, follow a similar post on the HP Forums: Click here

* Perform a hard reset

* Reset BIOS to defaults

* Run the Audio test from the HP PC Hardware Diagnostics (UEFI)

* Update the BIOS

* Reset your computer

* Perform an HP System Recovery

I installed the realtek HD audio driver in vain.

There is a screetch which increases with the volume along the downside that the volume is still low.

Latest one,

Realtek HighDefinition HD Audio DriverWindows 10 v1809 - sp92517 was not compatible with the OS version in my laptop.

So i downloaded and installed

Realtek HighDefinition HD Audio DriverWindows 10 v1903 - sp98141.

Didnt improve.

Anything else that I can do to fix?

@Blitzz

I understand your concerns. 

In that case, I would suggest you perform the system reset.

Have a nice day!!
