HP ENVY 360 - Speakers not working

[AJWILCOM]

Hi,

   The speakers on in my HP ENVY 360 are not working properly. They make a crackling sound, sometimes the left side does not work at all, and they adjust the volume automatically. I have tried all the troubleshooting tips I have found on this forum and typed in with the virtual agent. None of the tips I was provided seem to help my issue. My laptop is out of warranty. Is there anything that I can do to fix this? The laptop is only a few years old and should not be doing this. 

Thank you,

AJWILCOM

Welcome to HP support community.

Update the Bios, chipset and audio driver using HP Support Assistant.

Download and run the HP Support Assistant from this Link: Click here

HPSA will automatically search for all the latest drivers for your Notebook

1. Click My devices in the top menu, and then click Updates in the My PC or My notebook pane.

   

2. Click Check for updates and messages to scan for new updates.

   

3. Review the list of updates. Updates with a yellow information icon are recommended. Updates with a blue information icon are optional.

4. Click the update name for a description, version number, and file size.

5. Select the box next to any updates you want to install, and then click Download and install.

Also ensure Windows is up to date.

Select the Start  button, and then go to Settings  > Update & security  > Windows Update , and select Check for updates. If Windows Update says your device is up to date, you have all the updates that are currently available

Let me know how it goes.
