HP ENVY Beats Speakers not working

[Jyo2]

Hi,

MY HP laptop prompted for windows update, and after the update is done, topspeakers(inbuilt Beats speakers) stopped working. The sound is still audible from the bottom of the laptop, it feels like the sound is coming from far away. 

Can you help me to fix the speakers?

Thanks,

Jyo

Hi:

If your model envy PC has the IDT audio chip, reinstall the W10 audio driver and restart the PC.

If your notebook's support page does not have W10 drivers, then use this one...

This package contains the driver that enables the IDT High-Definition (HD) Audio in supported notebook models that are running a supported operating system.

Anytime.

I tried this solution and it worked, but it made the bottom speakers stop working. What should I do? I hope there is a way to get both sets working.

I'm having the same issues with my sound.  Sound isn't coming through Envy built-in speakers OR my bluetooth speakers.  I've downloaded and tried installing the new drivers you've suggested but I get a message the driver isn't supported.

The message I'm getting is:

"The hardware detected is not supported by this IDT software package.  The install will be aborted."
