5.1 CH HD Audio (Realtek ALC662 Audio Codec) BeatsAudio is supposed to be a big sellling point on these models so you'd think this would be available already.- Supports New 4th and 4th Generation Intel Core i7/i5/i3/Xeon/Pentium/Celeron Processors (Socket 1150) HP has had MONTHS to make this available for those of us who have spent $1200 on their TouchSmart computers. I did check the drivers page for my HP model and Windows 8.1 and discovered as you did that there isn't an update for the Audio CODEC / BeatsAudio. So this sounds NO different than the default (flat settings): I will say that the setting on the left do have an effect but they are fairly limited. However, moving the sliders for the graphic equalizer has NO effect on the sound output. Sound is working (and is acceptable) and I can now move the sliders (not possible previously) for the equalier.
