HP Spectre x360 15 GEM CUT Whiskey Lake Microarchitecture
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I purchased a new HP Spectre x360 15 GEM CUT i7-8565u laptop 3 months ago. Everything is working fine. I did not know that Spectre series has 4 B&O Speakers. I never noticed that my 1 right speaker is always working. Bottom speakers and left speaker are not working. I uninstall and remove the all audio drivers, restart the laptop and re-install the drivers from HP Support Assistant. Issue did not resolve. Then i restart the laptop and press F2 and check the audio test, there was no error and test was passed.

I searched on Google bud did not find the solution. Can anyone help me that how can i fix this issue ?

@MunawarSM,

 

Thank you for the information.

 

I recommend you uninstall the audio driver and then download and install it from the below link.

 

https://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp97001-97500/sp97021.exe

 

If you continue facing the issue, then I recommend you run the audio troubleshooter following the below steps.

  1. In the search box on the taskbar, type audio troubleshooter, select Fix and find problems with playing sound from the results, then select Next.
  2. Select the device you want to troubleshoot and then continue through the troubleshooter. 

You can also launch the troubleshooter from audio Settings. Select Start  > Settings > System  > Sound  > Troubleshoot.

 

If running the troubleshooter doesn't help, continue to the next tip.

 

  1. Select Start  > Settings  > Update & Security  > Windows Update   > Check for updates.
  2. Do one of the following:
    • If the status says "You're up to date, go to the next tip. 
    • If the status says "Updates are available," select Install now
  3.  Select the updates you want to install, then select Install.
  4.  Restart your PC and see if your sound is working properly.

Let me know how it goes and you have a great day!

Interestingly i did not re-set my windows. I installed New BIOS Software version from HP Support Assistant and now all my 4 speakers are working fine. I am happy and enjoying. Thanks HP.
