Method 1: Update HP audio drivers manually
You can download the HP audio drivers manually from the HP support center or the audio device manufacturer.
Before getting started, you should know the audio device and the operating system information in your HP laptop or notebook.
- Go to the device manufacturer’s website, for example, you can go Intel download center. Here we’ll take the HP support center as an example.
- Search for the device driver that you want to download from the manufacturer’s website.
- Go to the drivers page, and select the latest correct version of your audio device, and compatible operating system (in my case it’s Windows 10 64-bit), and download it.
- Run the downloaded file, and follow the on-screen instructions to Install the driver on your computer.
This method requires time and computer skills. If this method doesn’t work for you, don’t worry. We have other solutions for you.
