Hi! I had my B&O app working just fine, until recently that I got a Realtek High-Definition audio driver update (softpack number: sp92810 Version: 6.0.1.8519) on my HP Support Assistant along with a system BIOS update. I finished installing them and it restarts but now my speakers won't work, my B&O icon disapeared and when I check on my computer's audio settings it just recognizes them Realtek speakers, and when I plug in my earphones it works. I would like to re-install my B&O drive or something and get my speakers working again...
Thank you for your help!

Thanks for replying.
The B&O is integrated in the Realtek High-Definition (HD) Audio Driver. Here's the latest driver link.
You may also refer to this document - Using the Bang and Olufsen Audio App to adjust the settings.
Have a great day and happy holidays to you 🙂

Did you try re-installing the audio drivers? Try restoring the computer back to the date when it was working fine -
1) Shutdown the computer.
2) Turn the computer back on again and repeatedly tap on the ESC until a Startup menu appears.
3) Press F11 once for System Recovery.
4) Choose the Keyboard Layout.
5) Click on Troubleshoot.
6) Go to Recovery Manager and click on System Restore.
7) Choose a Restore point or a Restore date when the computer was working fine.
8) Click on OK to initialize the System Restore.
Let me know.
