MY HP Spectre's speakers stopped working today...is it the Windows 11 update? How do I fix it?

The audio on my Spectre x360 stopped working today.  I am not sure if it's because of the Windows 11 update.  I need to fix right away due to all day virtual meetings.

Welcome to the HP support community.

I understand that you are getting audio issues with your notebook, I am glad to assist you.

Update the Bios, chipset, and drivers using HP Support Assistant.

Download and run the HP Support Assistant from this Link: Click here

• HPSA will automatically search for all the latest drivers for your Notebook
• Click My devices in the top menu, and then click Updates in the My PC or My notebook pane.
• 
• Click Check for updates and messages to scan for new updates.
• 
• Review the list of updates. Updates with a yellow information icon are recommended. Updates with a blue information icon are optional.
• Click the update name for a description, version number, and file size.
• Select the box next to any updates you want to install, and then click Download and install.

Also, ensure Windows is up to date.

• Select the Start  button, and then go to Settings  > Update & security  > Windows Update , and select Check for updates. If Windows Update says your device is up to date, you have all the updates that are currently available

Let me know how it goes.

Thanks very much.  I had my computer scanned and it was found there was a trojan virus and actually stopped many of my applications, including audio.  Your post was very helpful.  Thank you!
