Hi:

See if this W10 with Beats Audio driver from a newer model notebook also works on yours.

Restart the PC after installing the driver.

IDT High-Definition (HD) Audio Driver

6.10.6492.0

You're very welcome.

That happened to me as well on my HP 350 G1 with the IDT audio.

All I needed to do was to go to the Windows control panel>hardware and sound>sound>manage audio devices and change the default output from the headphones to the speakers and it worked fine afterward.

sp63555 is a 'rebadged' Windows 8 driver from 2013 which is 2 years before W10 was released to market.

OK That one  (sp63555.exe) is working  with really nice sound for bluegrass music.!   I did have to enter the sound control panel and set the speakers as default to hear the sound.  Maybe the other one would have worked had I done that.  I'll leave it as is for now.   I dont want to tamper too much with this fesh Win 10 load.   Thanks very much for your help!
