You can only try it.
Although if you go here, these are the ones, specific to your Hardware ID. Most recent being 6.0.8799.1, which is the one you have.
Mind you that the UAD drivers, are the smaller files, i.e 8-12MB. The large ones ( > 100MB) are HDA.

As I said, the large ones are HDA drivers. You need the smaller files.
And besides that, you have an hp system. If you look in an entry (by clicking the link) it will open a new Window/Tab with the particular driver. In there go to the Package Details tab. You'll see a bunch of Hardware IDs. The hp ones are the HWIDs containing the string "subsys_103cXXXX" as 103c is the vendor code of hp.

This is the narrowed down list for your system.

this is the list i got and higher build number then one i have but the smaller ones are windows 10 s
Realtek Semiconductor Corp. - MEDIA - 6.0.8821.1 Windows 10 Fall Creators Update and Later Servicing Drivers, Windows 10 S Version 1709 and Later Servicing Drivers for testing Drivers 1/1/2020 n/a 9.9 MB that was a big list lol sorry about that , also these ones with smaller MB number says testing only on them ??

Yep. If you want you can test them.
But please create a full system image before, to an external drive, so you can rollback if the driver you try doesn't work.

wow the one i got installed from HP and d-loaded from them is 89.6 mb is a uad driver so makes no since.

I also have an hp laptop. The driver I have from hp is ~320MB. The reason is that includes, the driver, software components, extensions and the Audio console, whereas the one from Microsoft Update Catalog contains only the update of the driver itself and not the other stuff.

oh i get it now that must be the reason they told me to get from MS if i do it as it would not mess with the software.

Right on!
