Product: ENVY OLED Touch 16-h0028TX (Part# 6J2T9PA)
Problem: Two front firing speakers alongside keyboard are not audible
DESCRIPTION:
This laptop(16-h0028TX (Part# 6J2T9PA)) has a quad speaker system by Bang & Olufsen. Two speakers are at bottom and other two are front-firing alongside keyboard. When I play any audio, I can hear sound from the pair located at bottom but not from the front-firing pair.
I have updated the audio driver and BIOS and also checked the sound settings in control panel but no success.
Is there anyone who owns a similar product (Quad speakers)?
Do anyone has any clue about this problem ?
Please let me know your views.

@Usrx what did you end up finding. If I disable the Cirrus Amps in the device manager I do have very high frequency tweeters playing from the top "speakers". I assume this is the design, based on the space available with the fan intake on the left and the ports on the right. They are technically "speakers", but barely.

@Energyx That's true. HP has used low quality, substandard speakers in this premium laptop. Cirrus Amplifiers are there just to compensate for the low quality speakers and amplify the signal to produce more loudness. Cirrus amplifiers are there just to save on costs. Poor quality speakers plus amplifiers is their replacement to quality speaker system. I do not get any clarity while listening music with these. HP has compromised with the quality. It's a huge injustice to customer, spending his savings and paying premium price for this poor audio experience.
