HP Laptop - 15-dw2048nr

Hello, 

This is an HP Laptop - 15-dw....... that I received in 2020 for school as a gift from my aunt. 

In  July 2021 my laptop went black in the middle of class (I'm in a Master's Program) and so I bought another laptop ASAP and left this one alone. 

 

Now it's 1/2/2023 and I am checking the laptop and everything is back except the sound.

 

Long story short

→This laptop works again; I checked the HP Support Assistant and it says under AUDIO DEVICE INFORMATION that No speakers are found and No microphones phone (Hardware Problem detected).

→I already have been going to HP Support and it keeps redirecting me to this HP Community.

 

Does that mean that I need to download something to fix it? 

Please and thank you if you can help me with this issue. Most of my saved information is on this laptop.

I was able to get the audio resolved! 

After 3 days I was able to get someone from HP to assist me through the HP Support Assistant Virtual Assistant. 

All I have to say is that the HP Support team is amazing and quick. 

I am so happy (^ . ^)

 

It was my Intel (R) Smart Sound Technology (Intel (R) SST) OED that was an issue and the Intel High Definition Audio.
