Hi!
Yesterday I updated Windows and now I can't find the B&O Audio controller program, that is used to be in the control center. Why is that? Can someone help?

Please do a clean install Audio software/driver, this should help.
(a) Download the following driver and save on your computer,
HP Customer Support - Software and Driver Downloads
(b) Go to Device Manager, Sound to uninstall sound driver (Realtek) and reboot,
(c) Right click downloaded file and select Run as administrator,
(d) Reboot again.
Regards.

Windows may hide it under HP Audio Switch, please check from main Menu or from Taskbar:

Hi,
Unfortunately it's still not there. The whole ”program” is gone in some way. I made a short cut for the program, but when I click on it, it says file not existing. Could it be a driver problem? I'm on windows 10 1909 I think.

Thanks! I will try to download the link and follow your guide lines.
Should I mark the box that says "remove driver software" when I delete the Realtek Audio from my pc?
