Two issues with Audio

[of123]

Hey HP community

I have the HP Envy 13 (2019) and have two issues with audio which I hope someone can help me with: 

1. I have any headphones connected through the aux, every time i stop listening to something and then start again the sound is very poor in quality and there is an echo. This problem only occurs when B&O is enabled. If I disable "audio enhancements" from the sound properties this problem goes away, but this isn't practical since I need B&O when listening on loudspeaker. I cannot enable and disable something in the sound properties every time i connect or disconnect aux. 

2. Loud speaker sound quality is extremely bad and volume is low when B&O is not enabled. Again this problem goes away (kind of) when i disable "audio enhancements" from the sound properties. When it's disabled the quality is not too bad and not too good, but at least its better than when B&O is enabled but turned off.

Thank you for posting on the HP Support Community.

To get the answer to this question, B&O software is replaced with the Realtek High-Definition Audio Driver

Hello, 

Thank you for your reply!

I tried installing the drivers you linked, unfortunately nothing changed. It's as if they were not installed at all. I assume these are the normal update for these drivers and not something new (since they are from 2019)? If that's the case, then I have already installed them previously since I always keep all my drivers up to date. 

So unfortunately, no changes at all.
