Hi,
Try using Recovery Manager to reinstall the IDT HD Audio Driver ( this will also reinstall the Beats Audio interface ) - the procedure for using recovery manager to reinstall Software and Drivers is detailed in the document on the link below.
http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c01868333
After the reinstallation has completed, restart the notebook.

Thanks-
I have two drivers on my system- one IDT driver in the drivers section of the recovermy manager and another IDT driver in the HP assistant update. Which should i uninstall? I guess probably the one from the hp assistant?
