Glad to see you got it working  @brothaLoui

For what its worth, I recieved an official reply from HP today  on the matter....

 

While performing a Windows update, if you encounter issues with the audio, please uninstall the driver and manually install the latest version. The following document should be able to help.

I had the same issue, working on it sinve yesterday. Go to support.hp.com scroll all the way down under SUPPORT go to DOWNLOAD DRIVERS. ENTER DEVICE SERIAL # & PRODUCT NUMBER. it will show you your device products. Click on the drop box for DRIVER & AUDIO. you will select which one is compatable and download it. It gave me 3 different options for audio so i had to repeat the process twice to see which one was compatable for my laptop.

SOLUTION: Check whether any updates are  pending. If any present do install which will solve your issue.

Went through the post, but apparently I dont have the SST-device he's mentioning.Capture2.JPG

I also noticed that the dropdown menu for the  "sound, video and game controllers" is missing the "realtek"and "Nvidia" option.

I tried adding hardware ( I followed the steps mentioned in the troubleshooting tips i mentioned above) and this is what I get:

notice that "Nvidia" is missing. And when i choose to add "realtek" 

 


You do have the SST device in the image in your post. I don't think you looked closely enough. See where I pointed them out below.
