Windows 10: Sound echo after Windows update

I have a HP spectre x360 ae13 computer running windows 10. After doing an update 2020-01 Update for Windows 10 Version 1903 for x64-based Systems KB4497165 and feature update 1909 on Tuesday 26th the internal speaker on my laptop echos all sounds. This computer uses Realtek High definition audio and has Bang and Olufsen speakers. To attempt to fix this problem I have:

- uninstalled the updates

- updated the realtek driver

- uninstalled and re-installed the realtek driver multiple times

- completed a microsoft sound troubleshoot and diagnostic

- reset all sound to factory settings

- looked for the enhancements tab my computer doesn't have this


If anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate it, the sounds are driving me crazy.
