    How to Solve HP Laptop Sound Not Working Issue?

    There are many possible reasons why the audio doesn’t work on HP laptops. Therefore, there are multiple ways to fix the problem. Follow each method one after the other to resolve your audio problem with your Windows 11 HP laptop.

    Restart the HP Laptop

    Restarting your laptop is the best solution to the Hp audio not working problem. Your HP Laptop’s audio port may not be working due to an error in the bootup process. Sometimes, the audio port doesn’t work correctly when you try to boot up your computer. It causes a temporary error in your Windows system.
    Sometimes the problem with your HP laptop’s audio might not be with Startup but with Windows’s shutdown. If you turn off your Windows 11 HP laptop forcefully, some software and programs may not load correctly or crash the next time you switch on your HP Laptop.
