OMEN by HP Laptop 17-cb0xxx
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I Accidentally uninstalled Omen Audio Control. Reinstalling latest realtek audio driver (after uninstalling audio drivers and related software) did not bring back missing software. I am not experiancing any audio problems but I would like to have this software.

Any help appreciated.

I actually solved this problem myself, something hp support failed to do. Feel free to give me a job guys.

 

 

This worked for my omen 17 2019. Download the latest Realtek Audio drivers from hp support. Run the installer, it will extract the files and try to install but fail halfway saying that the driver does not support the o.s version. (in other words, it will only work with an older version of windows not the latest updates). 

 

Go to the extracted files at c:\SWsetup

Search for a folder called APPX

In this folder you will find 'f634d290d8be4f529dbff6284f415227.appxbundle'

 

Run this package and it will install the omen audio control center.

Thank you for your response.

The exact model name of my laptop is: OMEN by HP Laptop Model 17-cb0011nv

The PC is fully updated, I don' t have any trouble with my sound devices and DTS:X is working fine

Installing the driver from provided link did not  work.

I had already tried reinstalling the same driver, downloaded from product' s page, numerous times.

Try restoring the application using the Recovery Manager. 

 

Refer to this document for steps - HP PCs - Using Recovery Manager to Restore Software and Drivers (Windows 10)

 

Let me know.

My PC has not HP Recovery Manager (as my older HP PC has). It has only Windows Recovery Manager, not having an option for reinstalling factory software. I also don' t have either a restore point or a system image created before uninstalling the software.

Thanks for replying. 

 

I'd suggest you back-up the data and try performing a recovery. Refer to this document for steps.  

 

Let me know.

Thank you very much for your time and  expertise.

Since I do not have any problems with my audio devices and sound experience, and full system recovery to factory settings would cause too much incovenience,  I will most probably wait for future updates to solve the problem automatically.

Once again thank you very much.

Actually, I am sure that provided solution and usefull information will be very usefull in dealing with future problems concerning more critical software components or system failures.

HP Recommended

I can not believe the poor performance of the hp support on here! This person is looking for software BY YOU, windows update would obviously not install that. Doing a factory restore is just lazy support and like the user said, an inconvenience. 

 

How about you provide a download link?
