Hi blankspot:
Welcome to the HP forum!
Thank you for your query. I am happy to help!
I understand that you have an issue with the Beats Audio, and have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers, but no change.
When posting it is very helpful, if you provide the exact model of your computer and the operating system (32 or 64 bit), as this information is necessary when looking for pertinent information to help you.
How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
I will wait for you to provide this data, so I can assist you.
