@raam9, Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
I understand you're experiencing an issue where the Bang & Olufsen app closes automatically after opening on your HP ENVY x360 15-ew0000 running Windows 11. Let's work through this together.
Run the Audio Troubleshooter
This built-in tool can detect and fix common audio-related issues:
- Press Windows + S, type "Find and fix audio playback problems", and select it.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the troubleshooting.
Reinstall the Audio Driver
Corrupted or outdated drivers can cause the B&O app to crash.
- Press Windows + X and select Device Manager.
- Expand Sound, video and game controllers.
- Right-click on your audio device (e.g., Realtek Audio) and choose Uninstall device.
- Restart your PC. Windows will reinstall the driver automatically.
Alternatively, you can manually download the latest audio driver from the HP Software and Driver Downloads page.
Update the HP Bang & Olufsen Audio Control App
- Open Microsoft Store.
- Search for "Bang & Olufsen Audio Control".
- If an update is available, install it.
Perform a System File Check
This ensures no system files are corrupted:
- Open Command Prompt as Administrator.
- Type: sfc /scannow and press Enter.
- Wait for the scan to complete and follow any prompts.
Check for Windows Updates
- Go to Settings > Windows Update.
- Install any pending updates and restart your PC.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
