Windows 10: Audio enhancements

I've got no "enhancements" tab in my speaker properties. I see there are "fixes" for this when googled and I've tried the "update drivers" fix for Realtek speakers but the enhancement tab is still missing after updating the drivers and restarting. The reason for wanting the enhancements is to have "Bass Boost" as the sound is lacking some bass. My system is up to date after the latest update so where do I go from here? I'm in the UK and it's bed-time now, I'll BB in the morning

Audio Enhancements

Hi Charlotte,

One step that we could try is to manually re-install the Audio Enhancement, and see if it helps. First, go to HP's website and download the latest Audio Enhancement installer (IDT) and save it to your Downloads folder. Once done, follow the remaining steps
below:

• Search for Control Panel via Cortana search and hit the
  Enter key.
• Open the Device Manager and click Sound, Video and Game controllers.
• Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall.
• Restart your PC.
• Once your PC restarts, it should automatically load all audio driver. Let it complete the process.
• Go to the Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select
  Run as administrator.

Once complete, check if you have the enhancements back and let us know the outcome.

Audio Enhancements Keep Disappearing

I did what was suggested, but my model list looks different from the one shown in the tutorial provided.





I chose the Realtek High Definition Audio, since that's the one I (think) I've selecting through my method mentioned in my original post. Can't tell yet if that's permanently fixed the issue, so I'll get back to this thread if anything's changed or not after a couple of days.
