I'll tell you once and forever the solution for this problem. It is exist on some forums but veeeeeery rare. It took me very much time to find it out and I don't want anyone to struggle. Reinstalling won't help. Windows won't help. They simply give tips for normal situations, but this isn't a such. And, because of the lack of a possibility to stop Automatic-Updates on Windows 10, it won't run good on this notebook.
SOLUTION
There is a problem with the newer BIOS versions and the sound stops. You must download an old BIOS version from the HP website and install it. This way, everything will be OK. But you must further stop updates.
Thank you for showing your interest in HP Support Forums. It is a great place to find the help you need, from other users, HP experts, and other support personnel.
I understand you are having issues with the F6 mute button not working properly on your HP notebook. Don't worry as I have a few suggestions which should help you resolve this issue.
To provide you with an accurate solution, I'll need a few more details:
Have you recently made any software or hardware changes on the PC before the issue started?
Have you tried to update the Bios on your computer?
In the meantime, let's try these steps here:
Perform a Hard reset on the notebook:
Many startup errors and other problems can be resolved by decreasing the amount of power stored in hardware components. Decreasing stored power is sometimes referred to as a "Hard Reset". Use the following steps to perform a hard reset on a computer:
If Windows is open, click Start and then Shutdown.
If Windows is not open and the computer has power, press and hold the power button on the computer until the computer shuts off.
With the power off, disconnect the power cord from the back of the computer.
With the power off and the power cord disconnected, press the power button on the computer for 5 seconds. The power light indicator on or near the power button might turn on briefly but then go out.
Reconnect the power cord and turn on the power.
Performing Bios Defaults:
Let's start off by checking for Windows update:
1) In the search box, type and open Windows Updates.
2) Check for updates.
3) If the updates are available, click on install and restart the computer.
If the issue persists, I would suggest here is to uninstall the audio drivers from device manager.
Right-Click on start button> click device manager> expand sound video and game controllers>then select the sound drivers and right-click on it and uninstall the audio drivers.
Then check the box delete the software for this device.
Now restart the computer and then update the Bios, Chipset, Audio and Wireless card drivers on your PC from our HP support website, using this link.
Also, download and install HP support assistant on your PC. It should automatically download and install the latest updates and drivers for your PC.
Refer this link to know how to use HP support assistant.
Please let me know if this resolves the issue, or if you require further assistance!
Eagerly waiting for your response!
I hope you have a good day ahead,

No error message from Itunes - just freezes up song transport.
In troubleshoot audio I get no sound on test, it then tries again, I get windows ding dong sound through headphones at the point that troubleshoot restarts windows, but the problem persists on reboot. Sound is fine through speaker when headphones unplugged. checked several friends headphones, all produce the same fault. New machine August 2018
How can I use my HP Thunderbolt Dock 120W G2 with Audio Module for conf. calls using Skype or Skype for Business or Microsoft Teams? I do not get the Thunderbolt speaker as an option to choose when I go to the laptop's Window's settings (Settings/System/Sound). Does anyone know how to use the audio module for conference calls in Skype/Skype for Business/Microsoft Teams?
Thanks,
Jim

Thank you

Hi well, headphones dont work anymore
i tried to restore but my computer couldnt complete it
Many thanks for the reply.
However, I ended up downloading the driver from the Realtek site - after download and installation, the old driver was removed the downloaded one replaced it and evertyrthing started working again !
I had seen the and tried to folloow the techworm advice but could not find the SST driver bit.
Anyway, thanks again
Hello, again Realtek Driver should be updated for that problem.....
I tried what you said but no help I have latest version installed through HP Support site.
Olay. You left us hanging. I am attempting to regain Audio Services. I am looking at the Windows Audio Properties (Local Computer) window and the Dependencies tab. I do not have a Scheduler. It shows Remote Procedure Call (RPC), which includes the DCOM Server Procesd Launcher and ROC ENdpoint Mapper, and it has the Windows Audio Endpoint Builder. Okay! I see it! Now what do I do! I want to get my audio back. In Sounds, it shows no audio input or output. Also I downloaded LAME with Windows EXE for Audacity to be able to export audio files as mp3s. This was successful. The problem with audio happened after I did this. I am thinking it could be the drivers (but which ones?), but I don't really know.
It looks like you were interacting with

4.) Download and install the Audio driver available here.
