It features two XLR-1/4' combo inputs with selectable phantom power, individual gain controls, and line/instrument switches, plus two rear-panel 1/4. Maybe audio control panel is meant for higher-end units with different (better) audio chipsets? This pc is a good little laptop but it is a budget unit. The Native Instruments KOMPLETE AUDIO 6 Mk2 is a portable 6-channel USB audio interface offering high-resolution recording up to 24-bit / 192 kHz for musicians, producers, and traveling engineers. which is an older version and not the one i tried to install (don't know how that happened). Also, checked Device Manager to see what audio driver I have since as I mentioned my audio is functional - it's got Realtek version 6. Should've mentioned that Win 10 is fully updated to 1909 with all subsequent interim updates, as well as updates for drivers, BIOS, etc. I've still got audio on my pc so I'm not really worried about this anymore, trying to fix a function that didn't really do anything anyway and that I don't need. Then, I tried to open HP Audio Control after that and it errored out as well, so I uninstalled that. I can't say exactly what the error message was, I didn't note it down or screenshot it - I'm lazy and dumb when it comes to troubleshooting. I uninstalled the current driver, downloaded the other one (it was the most recently-dated one in the list) and when I tried to install it I got an error message saying basically that that driver wouldn't work with my machine.
