HP Pavillion audio keyboard keys and task bar audio slider does not control sound volume.

[Triton17]

HP Pavillion audio keyboard keys and task bar audio slider does not control sound volume.  I cannot control the volume output. I have troubleshooted problem and system finds no issues. I have run HP diagnostics for audio and no issues have been found.   I do have sound output but can only control volume when  using the 'apps' built in volume control e.g. ITunes, You Tube, Sky, Sportify etc. 

Note

I have checked Drivers and all up to date.

Other keyboard operations e.g. Brightness, typing etc all functioning correctly

Not sure but problem came about when Realtek update to 6.0.9366.1 applied. My other laptop which I have not updated work fine.

Thank you for your reply all drivers are up to date and there are no outstanding updates. Still have the same issue. Audio slide bar and keyboard work when headphones are plugged in but not when headphones removed

Hello I have an HP pavillion eh1500hd  which my wife uses extensively for meetings. She noticed recenlty that the main audio control in the tray is not controlling the colume. It works with the control in the app, such as a slider in the youtube app. It also works with earphones plugged in. I have followed through all the workarounds that are posted. Not sure what I need to do. Appreciate any help.
