It is a new machine. What did you do with it ? Please perform a clean install Audio software/driver, this would help.


   (a) Download the following driver and save on your computer,
                  https://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp110001-110500/sp110359.exe

   (b) Go to Device Manager, Sound to uninstall sound driver (Realtek) and reboot,
   (c) Right click downloaded file and select Run as administrator,
   (d) Reboot again.


Regards.

That softpaq isn't supported so hasn't made any difference I'm afraid

To answer your question about is the machine new and what has been done to it, it was new in May and since September I've been having issues with the audio since the WIndows updates that I stated. I've had display driver issues as well with blank screen on atl+tab, flickering to blank screen and shimmering but the latest driver seems to have improved those issues.
