As quickly as I can put it, I've been having issues with this laptop since day one. My Audio started cutting in/out depending on where I would place my hands while typing.

 

i took it in to BEST BUY where I purchased it, we replaced the speakers AND the Hard drive.

 

Fast forward 5 months and now I've had to restart my computer if the speakers stopped working. Now, that little restart trick doesn't work and I had a little red X next to my speakers icon on my taskbar.

 

I followed some online guides along the lines of rebooting drivers. My Windows Audio had stopped working and my drivers were out of date. I have gotten Windows Audio working but now I have the issue of my "audio servies not responding" if I troubleshoot my audio services.....

 

I feel like I have the correct drivers in place

- Intel(R) Display Audio

- Realtek High Definition Audio

but I'm not 100% sure. I can upload screengrabs of anything if needed.

 

I have attempted to update windows or update to an older version to no avail. I feel I'm not qulaified to fix this issue myself and I don't want to send it back in..... Any help would be awesome, this online community has helped me greatly in the past so I do appreciate any help.

In Addition, my loading screen that normally rotates through photos and gives me their location and all that jazz is no longer working making me thing this is a system failure or windows issue moreso than an HP issue, but so far, as far as problems go this laptop arrangement has given me nothing but issues.

@cgerms Greetings from the HP Community! Let's work on resolving the audio issue before we move on to the photos,

  • Have you attempted to update the BIOS, Video card & Audio drivers to resolve this issue?
    • If not, here's the link to download and install the above updates: Click here

While you respond to that, here's what you need to do:

Step 1: Right-click on the Start button in the taskbar area and then click Device Manager to open the same.

Step 2: In the Device Manager, expand Sound, video and game controllers.

Step 3: You should now see your audio driver name. Most likely you have Realtek High Definition Audio, Right-click on it and then click Uninstall device option.

Step 4: You will now get the following confirmation dialog. Select Delete the driver software for this device checkbox and then Yes button when you see the confirmation dialog to go ahead and uninstall the device driver.

Restart your PC once & it should auto-reinstall a working driver.

 

If the issue with the sound continues, The best way to resolve the issue is by using the HP Guided Troubleshooter: 

CLICK HERE FOR STEP BY STEP GUIDE

(simply select your description of the issue from the bottom of the screen to gain access to the next set of steps that should resolve your concern).

I updated my BIOS using the link provided.

 

No change.

 

Ran the troubleshooter and it restarted my Windows Audio Device as it had not started.

 

I have done the uninstalling of the drivers previously but also followed this path after running the troubleshooter.

 

No Change.

 

Noteworthy, when I restarted the laptop, the drivers under sound, video and game controllers changed to High Definition Audio Device and Intel(R) Display Audio, it no longer listed the RealTek Driver. Not sure if that provides any new information.

 

I am currently running the HP Guided Troubleshooter. I will comment that I have tried this previously to no avail. I have a feeling I'll be bringing it back into my purchase location.

UPDATE:

 

QFP0G1-9A1A0U-MFPW2K-21V113

 

was the error I received when I ran the HP Hardware Diagnostic tool I downloaded from HP.

 

From what I can find right now this is now the second time that the speakers on my 1 year old laptop have stopped working.

 

Needless to say this is awful. 2 weeks of troubleshooting only to find out it was a hardware issue that I hoped and prayed was resolved 5 months ago. Brutal.

In all fairness to this thread it was very helpful. I'm just greatly disappointed, and the frustration is just fresh.

 

Thank you for your help on this issue.
