Sound Problem AIO

[Goscpj]

Playing music files starts with muting. The sound gradually gets louder. This applies to the first play after the break. This is the case with all programs that play sound (through speakers and headphones). The drivers have been updated. Did not help. Please help, how to equalize the sound so that playback starts at full volume? (Windows Home 22H2)

Thank you for your response.
1. I have made a diagnosis of the sound problem. It shows that everything is ok.
2. I updated the sound drivers from the HP support website
3. I used HP Support Assistant, no effect
4. I turned off sound enhancement
5. I uninstalled the Realtek driver, restarted my computer.
The problem is still the same - when playing a sound file through the headphones (from a disk or the Internet), the first few seconds are muted. If the file is played again immediately, the sound is loud from the beginning, but after a 10 second break in playback, the sound fades out again at the beginning of playback. Tried with different headphones, always the same
