Every day I have to use the Hardware Diagnostics tool to get sound from my Realtek speakers. And then it lasts only a short time when I have to do it again. I have NO problems with sound to headphones.
Could I delete the realtek driver and have one of the Intel audio drivers give me sound that I don't have reset everyday? Is there another audio driver I could install as the default driver?
Thanks for anyones help!

Welcome to the HP Support Community! I'd like to help!
I see you are experiencing weird sound issues with the HP Pavilion Laptop.
I have a few recommendations
- Update your Notebook computer to the latest BIOS F.27 from HP.COM.
- Make sure the Windows and HP support assistant updates are up to date.
- Shut the computer off and then press and hold the Power button for 10 seconds to reset the EC (Embedded Controller) to re-initiate the speakers.
- Try doing Reset PC Keep my files to check for any software issues.
When the sound from headphones are working fine with the same Realtek High-Definition (HD) Audio Driver then it could be a hardware issue on the speakers.
Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
