Sometime around when Microsoft pushed a Windows 11 update and/or a BIOS update (F.30) I started to have Hibernation issues and static on my speakers.

 

The static doesn't start at first, but shows up after a while of playing.  Toggling spatial sound on/off and other options resets the sound for a while but the static returns.

 

There are ZERO updates on HP Support for Windows 11 drivers - Realtek sound, BIOS, or AMD Radeon Graphics and what is there is old and for Windows 10.  This is really annoying since this laptop was brand new in 2020 and touted as Windows 11 compatible.

 

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Realtek (6.0.9018.1) and Radeon to no avail.  I have side-loaded newer Realtek drivers and it still does the same static.  I disabled everything under the sound section in Device Manager including the AMD audio entries there.
