Hi,
thanks for replying with the information. I have read your post comprehensively.
After you uninstall the audio drivers, please download and install the drivers from this HP link.
If the issue persists, please run the hardware test on the audio. You may check if the pitched noise appears during the test:
-
Hold the power button for at least five seconds to turn off the computer.
-
Turn on the computer and immediately press the F2 key repeatedly, about once every second.
-
The HP PC Hardware Diagnostics (UEFI) main menu is displayed.
Figure : HP PC Hardware Diagnostics (UEFI) main menu
- Select component tests.
Figure : Component Tests options
- Please initiate a test on the Audio - The Audio Playback Test checks your system to make sure the audio device is functioning properly. During the test, a few music notes are played in sequence and then repeated. This test takes 1 minute to complete. Click Audio, then click Run once. Choose either the speakers or the headphones. When asked, enter the number of notes you heard.
Hope this helps. Keep me posted. Cheers!
