Greetings @Unthgar
Welcome to the HP Forum.
EDIT: I checked your PC's specs after posting info below. This spec sheet for your PC states it has Bang and Olufsen audio with two speakers.
B&O may be using Realtek audio drivers, I don't know since I don't have a HP PC using B&O audio.
Check Control Panel>Sound.
You should be able to set Realtek as the default playback device if Realtek is a choice.
Then check Control Panel>Device Manager for errors in Sound and to verify Realtek audio is present.
Regards.
