Beats Audio is an enhanced audio controller that provides a deep, controlled bass (subwoofer) while maintaining a clear sound. This ends up being frustrating, since using the built-in equalizer can greatly improve the sound quality of the audio coming out of the speakers, and if you’re used to it, audio without the software will sound tinny. When this happens, HP actually doesn’t offer a clear and simple way of re-installing the Beats Audio software. However, there are quite a few users who bought such a device but later had to end up with a clean install of an operating system, whether it is because of an upgrade to a newer version, or because of having to format the OS completely. Beats Audio includes the audio driver for the device, as well as a few other perks such as volume controls, an easy-to-use equalizer, etc.


See our overview guide on how to reset any Windows 10 computer for more information. These days you can reset any laptop, including HP models, using the standard reset procedure in Windows 10. That's because a factory reset will revert your laptop back to the state it was in when you took it out of the box for the first time (though you generally have the option to keep your files and only reset Windows). You won't need to factory reset your HP laptop often, but it's a good thing to do when you plan to sell or give away your laptop, or when you have especially difficult technical problems.
