HP Recommended

I have a new  OMEN Gaming Laptop 16-ap0053dx (BP1Q1UA).  The audio I find (through studio headphones) is clearly substandard.  When I inspect the RealTek playback options, the only possibility is 16 bit/48kHz.  No other options, and particularly, no 24-bit playback.  [Driver listed is "best available" according to Windows]

 

I expected any modern computer would allow 24-bit playback.  Is there a fix for this?  Or do I need to return this and buy another computer?

 

Thanks in advance for any help you might have.
