Not looking for advice at this point, resolved when I found and installed FxSound.
But you are giving advice about FxSound to Jimmy Smith1 which is actually worst than merely not looking for advice.
Also your HP laptop may already have a premium audio package (like Bang & Olufsen tuned speakers), you already paid for that tuned speakers.

Not using the B&O app, you are just wasting money on your laptop to use an inferior fxsound freeware.
