I think HP is on the "Beats by Dr. Dre" bandwagon, posted on September 1, 2014 at 19:20:28

I fiddled with that once upon a time and sure enough the "Beats On" setting sounded far better than the "Beats Off." Then I opened the built in equalizer and noticed that the "Off" setting was not flat at all but configured to make the sound horrible. I don't think HP gives a hoot about audio quality.

I will say this for HP: I had bought that laptop from their web site and sent it back due to other issues I had with it. HP was outstanding with regard to the return. They simply asked why I disliked it, issued me a return shipping label I could print out and credited my money back the day I dropped it off at the UPS store.
