I've created this message to inform you that I'm having issues trying to use my laptop's front-firing speakers which is branded Bang & Olufsen however I'm having no issues operating the device with the bottom 2 down-firing speakers but I brought this device specifically to immerse myself with the front-firing speakers which isn't activating even after further implications of trying to update the audio drivers in device manager but repeatedly getting prompted with my device having the latest audio drivers installed message and I've also tried going into B&O Audio Control and HP Audio Switch but no real option to activate it were found either... I TRIED EVERYTHING, a long list of options... BUT!, now I think I have come to the conclusion that this main speaker is for decoration or its mission there is to serve as a "sounding board" through which the echo of the secondary speakers comes out (which in fact are the main ones apparently) and thus achieve a "surround/3D" sound... and I base myself on the fact that I saw videos of how to change the speakers of this computer and they only disassembled the bottom ones, the sides, never the main one, BECAUSE THERE IS NOTHING THERE! tell me if I'm right... because that would show a deception to the user (nobody talks to you about it and you assume that it has 3 speakers, which gives it an added value that doesn't exist) and also leaves a lot to think about the equipment that is in charge of creating the design, proving to do a lousy job...
