    Hello, this is Emily.

    This type of issue can be typically fixed by reinstalling the audio driver from the computer's manufacturer website.

    Just to confirm, this issue happens when you use the keyboard volume keys, AND also it happens when you use the mouse to drag the slider, right?

    If you need help finding driver, please type msinfo32.exe in the search on the taskbar and hit enter, then share a screenshot of the pop up please.

    Yes, to confirm, the issue happens when I use the keyboard volume keys, and when I use the mouse to drag the slider. As you can see, here are the screenshots.

    Also, I just found this out, but apparently my microphone doesn't work either. I'd really appreciate it if you could also help with that. Thanks!

    Thank you. This hopefully is just an audio driver issue.

    Go to this page: https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/swdetails/... This is HP's official website for your computer's driver support (not a Microsoft site). Download and install the audio driver. Then see if it helps when you restart.
