I bought a HP Pavilion 15 AU104np a few weeks ago, it has Bang and Olufsen sound system, since I usually use phones I didn't realised that the left sound of the speakers is not working, i get sound on the right and a bit on the center but nothing on the left side 😕
Thank you for your help

Hello, @MJeronimo – Hope you are well 🙂
Thank you for becoming an HP Forum member. It is a great location to get help from the community, get suggestions and find what has worked for others.
I see that you are facing audio issues with the B&O speakers on your HP notebook. I will certainly do my best to assist you with this issue 🙂
Let’s first try to run the HP guided solutions which will help you to fix the issue on most scenarios. Follow the steps here: http://hp.care/2dp5pwy
If the issue persists, try the below-mentioned solutions:
Solution 1:
- Right-click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select 'Playback Devices'.
- Left click the default device once to highlight it ( it's usually 'speakers & headphones' ) then click the Properties button.
- Click the Enhancements tab and put a tick in the box next to 'Loudness Equalization'.
- Click Apply to save the change and then click OK in all remaining windows and see if this has helped at all.
Solution 2:
- Right-click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select 'Playback Devices'.
- Select the Communications tab up the top.
- By default ‘when windows detects communications activity’ is set to ‘Reduce the volume of other sounds by 80%’.
- Change this to ‘Do nothing’.
- Press OK.
Let me know how that goes. I’ll watch for your reply!
Good luck 🙂
