Loud Continuous Beep on HP Spectre

[MadisonianC]

A loud continuous beep comes from my HP Spectre x360 

Windows 11 Version 22H2

Everytime sound plays there is a long beep that eventually stops. For videos with continuous sound the beep is also continuous

It can not be muted and is not dependent on volume.

Please help!

A continuous beep coming from your HP Spectre x360 could indicate a hardware issue or a problem with the audio driver. Here are steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve the issue:

Check Audio Driver:

• Go to "Device Manager" on your laptop.
• Locate the "Sound, video, and game controllers" section.
• Right-click on your audio device and select "Update driver."
• Follow the on-screen instructions to update the driver.

Reinstall Audio Driver:

• In "Device Manager," right-click on your audio device and choose "Uninstall device."
• Restart your laptop, and Windows should automatically reinstall the audio driver.

Check for Windows Updates:

• Make sure your operating system is up to date. Go to "Settings" > "Windows Update" and check for updates. Install any pending updates.

Run Windows Troubleshooter:
