The first thing I noticed is that it pre-installs itself into your Google Chrome browser and it is visible from the sidebar menu. HP Dynamic Audio is supposedly a new AI-based audio experience that tunes output to speech while suppressing background noise. I will be walking through an in depth analysis using various programs and tools that I’ve picked up on over the years investigating how applications on windows function. In this blog post I’m going to talk about one in particular that I noticed deployed by HP called Dynamic Audio. The software or applications that are the most troubling are the ones that can not be removed.

Most of them either don’t provide much value to the end user or just get in the way and are bothersome. Some of them are useful like the recovery tools that allow OS reinstalls however I’m not a fan of the analytics and telemetry data that gets sent back without the users consent or in some cases is an opt-out feature. I’ve recently got a new HP laptop that came with various pre-installed OEM software. It really is a subjective topic, as one person might find these programs useful but another might find them irritating and classify them as bloatware. You might have recently purchased a new laptop or PC and found that there are applications on it preinstalled that are annoying and unwanted.

I’m sure everyone reading this blog post has had experience with Potentially Unwanted Applications (PUA) or Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUP).
