Please try installing these drivers and check if only Realtek audio shows up without DTS. Link for Realtek audio driver for windows 8.1: This may be a possible limitation of the audio driver for Realtek and DTS. If there is only a listing for Realtek then both are integrated. Check in Control Panel- Programs and Features if there is a listing for DTS software. I am glad that I am working with an extremely smart tech savvy individual. If it is not integrated then we may be able to figure out a way to uninstall it. However, If DTS audio comes back then it is integrated with the Realtek Sound drivers. Ideally, these drivers should work for windows 10. So what I will do is provide you a couple of links to download the driver from hp.com for windows 8 and windows 8.1. I looked up the HP support site and there is no separate listing for Realtek audio drivers for windows 10. I am glad that you were at least able to disable DTS.

Please let me know the product# of the computer in your next post if this does not fix it.
