Hi @vijay158,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

To restore the generic audio driver for your HP laptop, follow these steps to reinstall it using Windows' built-in options.

Reinstall Generic Audio Drivers (Windows 10/11):

Open Device Manager:

• Right-click on the Start menu and select Device Manager.

Locate Sound Device:

• Expand the Sound, video, and game controllers section.
• Right-click your audio device (e.g., Realtek High Definition Audio or Intel SST Audio) and select Uninstall device.

Confirm Uninstallation:

• Check the box that says Delete the driver software for this device and click Uninstall.

Scan for Hardware Changes:

• After uninstallation, in the Device Manager, click on the Action menu at the top and select Scan for hardware changes.
• Windows will automatically detect your sound hardware and reinstall the generic audio driver.

Restart Your Laptop:

• After reinstalling, restart your laptop to finalize the installation.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
