Today my Hp Victus 16-e0038na laptop's internal audio is not working correctly - the left speaker is now much quieter than the right. I checked the sound settings and they are at the same level. I have tried these suggested solutions:

  • Performed a hard reset on latop - made no difference.
  • Uninstalled Realtek audio drivers in Device Manager - made no difference.
  • Used HP Support Assistant to run Audio Diagnostics check - it said 'No Issues Found'.
  • Ran the Hardware Diagnostics audio component test - it said it 'passed'.

How can I fix this problem?

Also:

  • Tried restarting Windows Audio Service - no difference.
  • Downloaded audio driver from HP website and installed manually - no difference.
  • Changed driver to generic Windows audio driver - actually made things worse; no sound at all from left speaker.
  • Used System Restore to return settings to before the problem occurred - did not solve the issue.

Is there any solution to this problem?

I still haven't been able to resolve this issue. I also noticed that the sound from the right speaker will start loud and then turn a bit quieter.

I have the same issue.
